Email marketing is a worthwhile but often frustrating process. You can send all the emails you want but even if people are opening them you don’t know if they are reading them. And that’s even if they are opening them, which all too often isn’t the case. Hey, we’re all busy, and few of us can honestly say that we read every email we get – so a few are going to get skipped over and to avoid that happening to you, you need to get people’s attention pretty quickly.
This is why this 17-page downloadable PDF report is such a clever idea. You know how it is when you’re scrolling through your email and there’s about 75 of them there. If something doesn’t look important or entertaining, the chances are it will end up deleted before very long. So to get right into the crux of the matter right there in the subject line is something that will make a huge difference, and with these bulletproof subject lines to hand you can make that happen.
Grabbing the attention and the confidence of your customer before they have even read your email creates a powerful knock-on effect which gives your every word more weight. This provides you with an excellent chance to drive the sale, and makes this guide a must-have. It’s one of those little difference-makers that comes around every once in a while and can change the way you do business for good. It’s certainly worth checking it out.

Should You Buy Mailing Lists?

There is an increasing market in business for contact information that could be useful to marketers. this is visible in the sale of mailing lists by various companies – some with good reputations and others which have a tinge of the disreputable about them. For the small business looking to reach out to a wider audience, the idea of having ready access to a brand new list of potential leads can sound like a gift from the Heavens. But is that the whole story, and are pre-collated mailing lists the business boost they are sold as?
The truth lies somewhere in the middle of it all, it should not surprise you to learn. What any marketer wants more than anything – short of a guaranteed sale, which is rarely offered for sale and usually has to be created by the business itself – is a qualified lead, and there is a great deal of difference between a cold lead and one which is already half-sold. It is not especially common to find lists of qualified leads for sale. It helps then to think of the Cold-Qualified-Sold question as a matter of scale, with an entirely unqualified lead at 0% and a sale at 100%.
Some companies will simply harvest email addresses, place the information on a CD-Rom and sell that data for a price. It is important to look beyond the promises and think about whether the information on the disc will actually be of genuine use to your business. It may be the case that the leads on the disc have been qualified to a certain extent, but they will only ever have been qualified on the product or service area in which you operate – not your business specifically, and the upshot of using this contact information can be mixed – with some people asking you to stop sending them email and others flat out ignoring your messages.
The only way to guarantee a pre-sold customer – or at least a qualified lead for your company – is to set about compiling your own mailing lists. The best way of doing this is to offer the opportunity to sign up for further information, something which can be done in a few ways. If you ask straight out for someone to sign up to receive email, they probably won’t do it. If, however, you offer an email contact service whereby you answer questions and deal with customers one-to-one in the first instance, they are more likely to have an interest in email that you send them.
Be cautious about buying mailing lists from anyone. If you have a trusted business contact who has a list that he or she either has no further use for – because he or she is leaving the business – and they want to sell it to you, it is fair to be interested. If the information on offer to you comes to someone in the same sector as you, but in a different niche, then it may be of use. But generalized, cookie-cutter mailing lists are of no use to you.
