The
biggest challenge for email marketers is to build a cost effective list. This
is because at least thirty percent of the email addresses change on most lists.
Therefore, marketers have to go for a more aggressive approach in order to
expand the list and to get more significant investment returns.
Taking
permission is the basic key to maintaining a almost constant email list, along
with other steps. Permission is certainly not the optional thing. If permission
is not taken it means direct landing up as a spam complaint or even greater,
breaking the U.S Law for spamming. The sign up form should be featured on every
web page. No opportunity should be missed for turning the visitor into a
subscriber. Subscription value can be enhanced by adding sample emails,
screenshot of an email, testimonials and good copy on the sign up and
registration page. To attract more number of subscribers, incentives can be
offered upon signing up. The incentives can be as small as white papers and as
big as special discounts. Incentives increase the conversion rates to great
extent.
