What Opt In Email Marketing Could Be Costing You in Profits

Free Report, "10 simple secrets to turn your website into a selling machine."

You could be spending significant time and money on marketing your business but if your not building an opt in email list that you can stay in touch with through email marketing, your profits and return on investment are likely to be severely compromised. The fact is that your lowest cost and most effective means of capturing and converting your website traffic to leads and customers is through opt-in email marketing. Without that email list building, your website traffic is largely being lost as your visitors exist your web page. Let’s look at why that this.

Let’s say your hottest prospect lands on your page but just isn’t ready to buy. What are his or her options if there is no ability to join your email list? We’ll that’s easy, you might think. They will bookmark my page and come back to it when they are ready. If that’s what you are thinking, think about this. “Out of sight and out of mind.” How quickly they will forget about you unless you pop up in their email from time to time with a gentle reminder about how you can solve their problem and meet their needs.

What most business owners and entrepreneurs fail to understand is that rarely are sales conversions immediate. It takes time to engage your market, build rapport, gain their trust and win them over. In the vast majority of cases and unless there is a compelling reason to buy right now (which is advisable), most people will not buy immediately. In fact, even with the most compelling reason and a risk-free offer, you will have prospects who will sit on the fence for a while. These hot prospects will not become your customers unless you can present your information and offer to them multiple times. These are customers you will lose unless they can see your message over and over.

Think about how you are bombarded with ads on TV and radio and now the Internet. When you see a company name repeatedly come across your email, if that company meets your need and satisfies all your objections, statistically speaking – that is most likely the company you will choose to do business with. It is also most likely the company whose information you will pass along to your market. This is precisely how advertising works and why building an opt in list and using opt in email marketing strategies are so important to your business.
