Email marketing has proven to be one of the strongest ways for building your business. For certain people, your brand marketing will not make any sense or draw their interest in any way. Also, there could be a section of people who are not appealed by your email proposals or offerings. It is better to target the people or the potential clients who do not fall in the above two categories and understand the importance and prospects of business. In order to build a relationship with customers it is important to form a relationship based on loyalty and trust. It is equally important to know their preferences and respect their privacy. As an owner or a stake holder in a business or venture, one should realize the importance of being present and getting noticed by the prospective customers. Deploying a news letter or something of that sort can help you stay afresh in customer’s mind, build credibility, gives them a channel to reach you and keep you connected with them.

Email based marketing can be a true asset to your business. There are a few pointers to ensure its flawless implementation

Forming Your Lists

This is the first step to get started. The enumeration of subscribers can be done in the following ways.

• If a visitor comes to the actual location of your business, you can initiate a effective communication with them and ask for their permission for contacting them via email and sending your updates about your business/services.
• If you have build an official cum commercial website for your venture, you can include a sign up form there which can capture the contact details and email id of the visitors who are interested in collaborating doing business with you or availing your services.

Advertise your e-newsletter

Selling your newsletter proactively and advertise it in a way to attract the customers. Give attention to the quality of the content and other details in it. Lure them to subscribe to your newsletter. Keep them informed about the frequency they can expect to receive posts and the kind of information they should be looking forward to. Keep yourself in the shoes of the subscriber and do not flood them with newsletters every now and then. They can get irked by this. Focus on quality, not on quantity

Keeping your message out of the SPAM folder

Your emails are important and give a coherent meaning to your marketing strategies. There are a certain things which can prevent your message from being filtered as illegitimate or irrelevant and going to the spam folder, which in all probability is ignored by the customers.

• Your text font should not be more that +3
• Do not bold it unnecessarily and avoid using red color to highlight it
• Do not use typical captions that include words and phrases like “FREE”, “ATTRACTIVE OFFERS”, “click here”, “claim prizes/money” etc.
• Use a software meant for email marketing that supports sending MIME messages in multiple parts. This makes it a text based newsletter which does not get discarded by the spam filter
• Include a captivating, yet a clever subject line which grabs the user’s attention and draws his interest.
