Creating an email list from ebay sales?

Hi

Could be a bit of a cheeky question, but im new to marketing and the whole 'email list' is a bit daunting.

Anyway, i have been running a business on ebay for a few years, a clothing business. I have had over 15,000 sales.

I am just wondering if i would be able to export those email addresses from sales to kick start an email list for a potential IM career and campaign?

OR is this wrong?

Thanks all..

  • As long as you have permission from these people, you can add them to auto responder (Aweber / Get response) etc and offer them more related products.

    If they had a good experience with you, they will buy again and again from you!

    it's just fraction of getting them engaged with your products.
  • When I was a heavy Ebay seller I included a thank you card with the items, on the card was additional information on how to contact me or find more products I had for sale. Perhaps this is something you can do to funnel your Ebay customers to a website where you can then tag them for an opt-in list.

    • Good advice, but i suppose my IM goal is to do something completed unrelated to the products im selling on ebay.

      For example i sell clothes on ebay but my IM journey will be either some kind of CPA or a empower/Mobe type thing?

      Cheers
  • Yeah, just make sure they opt in first. I've seen a lot of complaints on the EBay user boards about people buying an item then suddenly getting unsolicited emails from the seller.

    That said, I've bought stuff where the seller includes a card or note or something with their own website on it, and usually offer a discount if you order directly from them instead of going through eBay. They have an opt in list on their website.
  • You'd have to get them to opt in. How you go about doing that is the real question. You would probably have to ship the materials with the product.
  • Could i send them all an email with my opt in email?

    i do not want them knowing its me though (who sold them previous productS)
