offline email marketing Mobile Website

7 replies
Hi Guys,

I am starting new in offline marketing and trying to build my business for mobile website designing.

I have been sending following emails to people but so far no response.

With the email I attach my analysis of what all is missing from their website for mobile viewing.

Inputs would be helpful in improvising my email

Hey there,*
*
I stumbled across your website while looking for*Hawaii Restaurants*and noticed that your website was not opening properly on my phone.
*
I've attached an image of how it opened up on my phone - check the attachment.
*
I read and article in Forbes that said over 73% of local searches
are now happening on a phone.
*
In that case, you could be losing a lot of potential customers who visit your
website and cannot view it properly.
*
I am quite technical and fix websites for a living, I can help you fix this
so you can get more visitors converting into customers.
*
Just email me back if you're interested and I'll be more
than happy to help.
*
Cheers
Jen

    Better email template for what you are doing Jen:

    {first name of the business owner you are emailing}, *

    In working with other <<INSERT INDUSTRY OR POSITION>>, one of the
    key issues they’re struggling with is having their website optimized for local searches on mobile phones.

    This past year we helped numerous companies to <<INSERT BUSINESS
    DRIVER>>, resulting << MONEY SAVED, REVENUE ADDED,
    PRODUCTIVITY INCREASES>>.

    If this is something you’re challenged with too, let’s set up a quick call. I
    have some ideas that might help.

    All the best,

    Your Name

    Hope this helps

    Jennifer - meet and greet. Try and get out and physically meet biz owners. I have never sold a mobile website from an email, but I have 10+ clients from me walking in their front door and introducing the mobile issue to them - and then following up. I've also converted 1/3 to full website redos and FB mgmt.

    If you happen to have an iPad - do a before/after mock-up of their website and what it could look like. Showing the mgr or owner makes a good impression. Make sure you have biz cards of your own and even a brochure of your company's services.

    Jen, I've tried sending emails with almost nil results. Best is to go out and meet them Face to Face with Mobile Demo in hand.

      I have also found that it is good for you to have an example demo or competitor site bookmarked on your phone to demonstrate how a good mobile-optimized site looks on a smartphone. That way, you can easily show a prospect how a great site looks on a phone and show that your prospect can have impressive mobile site with your help.

    Hey Jen,

    Like others have said, I've had terrible luck with email prospecting and I get it, considering how many times I take advantge of email offers that people I don't know send me (that would be ZERO)

    Even if you're following the "rules" and are can-spam compliant, what matters is how the recipient perceives your email (assuming they even get it in the first place) and with just a second or two to catch their attention, the odds are not good.

    I am currently testing a direct mail piece mailed in an oversized envelope and showing them a before and after shot, along with time sensitive offer. Cost to mail and print is prob $1.50 a piece, but it's bound to get opened and when you stand to make at least a few hundred to a thousand bucks on a sale - even if I have to send 50 to make a sale, it's still a great ROI.

    Email's just too easy for people to ignore and I'd rather not risk anyone reporting me to my webhost or isp as a spammer, so direct mail...cold calls or personal contact would be the best way to reach those folks in my book.

    Cheers,

    Steve

    P.S. Just noticed you're asking people to click an attachment too, and in this day of viruses and phishing attempts, I'd have deleted that without a second thought. ;-)

      Great idea, Steve. Might be something for us offliners to try. Thanks

    Biting off too much. Break your marketing funnel down into steps they can take one at a time.

    "Just email me back if you're interested and I'll be more than happy to help." Keep this phrase of yours in mind as you watch these videos to see a better way to do it. He is talking to real estate people but it's the same concept.
