What is your marketing/sales goal?

PromoteSite.com asks what is your marketing/sales goal: New customer acquisition? Customer retention? Launching and building a new business or a new brand?

Whatever your particular challenge, you now have a new medium that will accomplish your objectives in ways you never dreamed possible. It's called Permission Email Marketing.

It quickly, effectively and economically allows you to reach people, one-to-one, who are pre-disposed to learning about your product or service. Built on the foundation of sending messages only to those people who have specifically given their permission to receive them means every message has a greater chance of getting a greater response than traditional advertising -- even direct mail and online banner ads.

Highly targeted audiences, lower costs and dramatically improved response rates all contribute to permission email marketing's outstanding return on investment.

The Power of Permission Email Permission email: a definition. Permission email is a medium that facilitates interaction between organizations and consumers or businesses which have given their permission to receive promotional messages and other information targeted to their interests.

Why permission email marketing is successful and unsolicited email is not. Unsolicited bulk email, commonly known as spam, is unwanted and typically sent to large numbers of recipients. Companies use bulk email programs as a means to generate business. Unfortunately, when such unrequested email is received, it is often perceived by the recipient as obtrusive and an infringement on their right to privacy -- and is generally ignored and deleted.

Permission email marketing safeguards the consumer's rights by requiring that they confirm their interest in receiving email before they are sent any messages. They must intentionally agree to receive communication by signing up, usually referred to as "opting-in." Additionally, the consumer may unsubscribe from the communication at any time and all email messages are clearly identified as coming from the approved sender.

Advantages of permission email over traditional forms of direct marketing:

  • DELIVERS RECEPTIVE AUDIENCES
    Your offer reaches an audience that has already expressed an interest in the topic of your message.

  • LOW COST
    Compared to other forms of direct marketing, email marketing is significantly less expensive.


  • FAST AND EFFICIENT
    Traditional direct marketing programs, such as direct mail, can take months to create and implement. Then, you wait another few months to analyze the results in order to determine success. Permission email marketing campaigns can be executed in days with results trackable in real-time -- giving you immediate feedback while your campaign is in progress.

  • EASY TO TEST, TRACK AND EVALUATE
    Email is an ideal testing medium, offering a range of trackable events. Email enables marketers to test different list sources, combinations of interest categories, various creative approaches, and even elements of timing.

  • HIGH RESPONSE
    Typically, permission email campaigns result in better response rates than traditional direct marketing or other types of online advertising.

  • ITERATIVE LEARNING
    The powerful combination of extensive tracking, real-time analysis of results, and flexible testing allows you to gain insight into your email marketing campaigns very quickly. With permission email marketing you can rapidly test and refine your campaigns to identify the best marketing mix of audience, offer and creative.

    Permission email has been identified as the next generation of Internet marketing. Enjoying significant click-through rates over banner ads and other forms of online marketing, it has experienced phenomenal industry growth and has led Jupiter Communications to predict that commercial email marketing will become a $7.3 billion business by 2005.

    Forrester Research reports email use accounts for over 35% of all time spent on the Internet and estimates that 50% of consumers will be communicating via email by 2001. Clearly, permission email has emerged as one of the most powerful Internet marketing mediums ever.

You've placed ads...
You've placed ads to over 50 classifieds, submitted to hundreds of search engines and directories and sat waiting for the traffic to roll in. Only one problem. No rolling! Why? What didn't you do right. Remember, it's not just the amount of submissions to as many sites as possible that gets you traffic. It's appropriate marketing that makes it happen. This involves effective ad writing, ad categorization, visual appeal and targeting the right audience.

Ad Categorization
To best categorize your ad consider where your product or service would be best located in a directory. For instance, where would affiliate marketing resources best be categorized in a directory? Under Business/Business Opportunities/Affiliate programs/ or under Business/Business to Business/Marketing and Advertising/Affiliate Marketing? It all depends on the type of audience you are trying to target. If you own a company that is seeking to market its products and looking for affiliates to join your affiliate program, perhaps Business Opportunities/Affiliate programs/ would be best. If your are an affiliate programs network seeking business owners who want to market their product via affiliate programs, perhaps Business/Business to Business/Marketing and Advertising/Affiliate Marketing would be best.

Targeting the right audience
It goes without saying that what holds the interest of some audiences will turn off the interest of others. Are your ads being placed where they would have the most audience appeal? That is, do they compliment the subject matter surrounding it? Do research on the site you wish to place an ad. What kind of audiences frequents this site? Are they younger folk, middle age, professionals or college students? Are they price conscious consumers? Do they buy based on product reviews or discount value? Do they favor a certain manufacturer over others? Where do they come from? That is, what ad link or subject matter led them to that site? Are they mothers or daughters, husbands or fathers? The current ads and subject matter can tell you a lot about the audience as well as the information in that site's newsletter.

Ad writing
Having gathered this data, it's time to think in terms of wants, needs and values. What are their concerns with other products and or services much like your own? What is of greatest value or most appealing about your product and or service to this kind of audience? Once you find this out your ad should either provide assurance that you can deliver on that particular concern or accentuate the good of the product or service you are offering. One way to gather information on issues of want, need and value is by visiting sites that offer products and services similar to your own. Notice the information in the heading and subtitles. What is mentioned in bold type? What is mentioned in the slogan and "services" list?

If your ad involves the use of graphics, you first need to define what kind of ad would be most effective to the audience you have targeted. This involves the same process that goes into designing and producing a television commercial. If you are selling cars you can then answer such questions as what cars do they like to drive? 2 door or four door sedans? Trucks or sports utility vehicles? Vans or beetles? What music do they play on their car cd player? Where would they most likely drive to relieve stress or have fun? What is their idea of freedom? How can we work this into the commercial? Color choice and graphic style are defined by the clothing style, music and entertainment of the audience itself.

By targeting the right audience, effective ad writing, ad categorization, and defining visual appeal, you are promoting with the right stuff and will most likely attract more ideal consumers to your products and form more solid leads.
