One of the biggest keys to successful online marketing is to do regular follow-ups with your web site visitors. If some one comes to your web site, what guarantee is there that they will ever find their way back again. You may be tops in the search
engines one day and gone the next.
The answer is to contact them regularly. Remind them who you are and why they need your product or service. It's rare if anyone buys from the first exposure. Experts suggest that it takes at least 3-7 exposures to gain that level of trust.
"So how do I get permission to follow up?", you ask. First of all, never subscribe a visitor to a newsletter or reminder list without their permission. This is a sure fire way of alienating a possible customer. Or worse yet, losing your dial up.
1. First of all, ask your visitors to subscribe to your e-zine. It's more enticing if you give them a freebie when they subscribe.
2. Do you provide a service? Why not offer visitors a free consultation via e-mail. Simply have them fill out a web form and e-mail you with their questions.
3. There are lots of software programs out there that will let you brand a version with your logo. Offer your visitors this free software to download. Have them sign-up to gain access to download or get an access code to unlock your software.
4. You could have them sign-up to get access for downloading your free E-book. Always make the subject of the E-book relate to your target audience.
5. Folks love a free contest, sweepstakes or discount coupons. Ask for their contact information to enter. You can announce the winner or deliver the coupon by email.
6. A free membership to your "members only" web site or directory is another way. Provide a sign-up form to receive a user name and password.
7. How about offering a free online service from your web site. Have visitors fill out their contact information to sign-up.
8. Do like the big boys do. Offer a free affiliate program.Visitors will have to sign-up in order to receive marketing materials and commissions.
9. Why not give people who visit your web site a free email course sent via autoresponder. The internet is ideal for "how to" info. Help them decide to buy your product or service.
Simply have them submit their contact information to receive the free course.
10. You could allow visitors to submit a free classified ad on your web site. Require them to give a valid e-mail address in order to post an ad and then let them know when it is time to re-submit.
