Ingenious Email Marketing Idea

INTERNET MARKETING

This morning I get an email from a friend of mine and I had to whack my head and say "why didn't I think of that!" I'm sure there's a way we can all incorporate this ingenious email marketing trick.

Okay, the email is called "Christmas at your fingertips". It's a list of all your favorite christmas candy and sweets recipes. The instructions on the email is to click on each link and you get the entire recipe...at your fingertips.

Guess where the links take you? To a Christmas website! There's probably 50 recipes in this email! WHACK!

What's so ingenious is the viral marketing aspect of it! Who doesn't want to forward this to their friends, especially if you know that they like baking for christmas.

It's funny that my friend has unwittingly taken part in email spamming just by forwarding this to me!

How else can we rope our non-internet marketing friends into doing some email marketing for us?? lol

Thought you all would appreciate that.

Eunice

Yea, it is cool when you can get "normal", non marketing folks to do the work for you.

Viral emails are still very potent marketing. I like to send links to relevant free downloadable ebooks to segments of my list. They forward those links to their friends and so on. Those ebooks have my affiliate links in them. The gift that keeps on giving.

What's funnier is that you consider an email forwarded to you by a friend to be spam, yet think it is a great technique.

If it's really spam, why should we copy the idea?

If it's not spam, why did you say it was? Are you condoning spam?

Hint: Email from a friend is not spam.

  Sorry, that was a tongue in cheek remark. If I had gotten that email from the original writer, it would have been spam. But since it came from a friend, it wasn't.
  
  Thanks
