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 is an idea:

Start building your list. Make sure that you get an email address from every customer. A cell phone number would also be useful for later SMSs. Store them somewhere electronic: A spreadsheet is fine; a text file will do. Put each customer's details on its own line. Put name, email, SMS and, possibly, date and product bought, in separate columns. This will make it flexible for later use.

By the time next month's newsletter arrives, you will have a month's email addresses to work with.
