Email List Tips - Your First Impression With Subscribers in Crucial
- ARTICLES |
Many times we ignore or forget that even in the Internet that first impressions are important. How many times have you clicked on a link and gone to an awful website with tacky flourescent colors and blinking graphics that make reading the article unbearable? This, of course, makes you want to immediately click away fast! The same thing happens if you subscribe to an e-list hoping to get some valuable and useful information and all you get is five spammy emails a day. What do you do? You delete, and immediately unsubscribe.
In order for you to end up in the spam folder or the recycle bin of your subscribers then remember that first impressions are extremely important.. Your subscribers are evaluating you the minute they land on your website, until they get their first welcome email to your e-list, and beyond. You have must analyze everything that you do from the user's or client's perspective instead of as the creator.
And if you aren't able to look at your welcome email from new eyes, ask someone else to review it for you. Select someone who is impartial and t who has not seen it. And ask for honest and truthdul feedback. It is better for a friend or business associate to hurt your feelings than have people subscribe, then quickyly unsubscribe (or not subscribe at all). This happens all the time and the best way to avoid these issues is to test.
Unsubscribe rates -- If you are reeving a lot of un-subscribes after your welcome email, take time to review it and consider rewriting the welcome letter. Also you can request comments from subscribers by asking people why they unsubscribed. You can do this, by creating a redirect from the unsubscribe successful page so that you can add a few comments about why they unsubscrbed..
Open rates -- Another issue you need to pay attention to is open rates. You need to check the open rates on your welcome email, plus any email that you send to your list. The reason is that if one opens then they unsubscribe immediately, the reason might have something to do with the email itself, but if they just unsubscribe and never open anything it could be something else. Maybe your subject lines, maybe another reason.
There is, of course , other reasons this happens. And it might be that here is actually no problem with your email . Instead, the problem of un-subscribes after receipt of welcome email is due to people who really aren't interested in your information or products but are only after free stuff you offer as a bonus. Did you offer a freebie to this subscriber? If you're attempting to attract people into your list and soft sell to them your products and information, you don't want them turned off right away by your welcome email. Review it, read it out loud, and have a friend reviewit. You can also pay someone to evaluate it too.
Testing is an essential element to ensure that your websites, welcome emails, ad copy, sales copy and all your pertinent content is functioning accordingly. Third party feedback can be fundamental in helping you improve your offerings and achieve maximum results. You can also add a survey and ask people who unsubscribe why they did or you can get professional feedback.
