Tips on email Marketing
Everyone has email. If you aren't emailing
your customers, you could be missing out! But how does one get
started? I'm glad you asked! Here ae some ideas:
1. Start small - manually email your existing
customers, a few per day.
2. Don't sell - chat! You are deepening an
existing relationship.
3. Give the problem away - outline the problem
that you solve, not the solution
4. Tell stories - show them that you were able to
solve someone's problem, without giving them the solution.
5. Just mention at the end the other services you
offer.
Try this for a few weeks and see how it
gradually builds your sales.
