The article "Why Autoresponders are an Absolute Must" talks about autoresponders, it was written by Glen Hopkins.
With autoresponders, you never have to lose money advetrising again!
That's right, every ad you place from now on can be a winner -- even when you lose money!I know, I know, you're thinking, "Okay, now you've lost it Glen." But I haven't.
Let me explain.Let's say you place an ezine ad, which costs you $200. and you make $20 for every sale made. If you make 8 saels with the ad you will earn $160.Gosh, you just lost $40.
That's a bad ad right?
The answer to that depneds on how you wrote your ad. Let me show you how losing $40 can actually be a win.When you create your ad, don't adveritse directly for your product. Advretise something that will "bring them in the door". Freebies like this mini-course, sweepstakes or items at execptionably low prices work well.The job of your advertisement is to create leads.
That is, to get the readers e-mail address with permission to follow up Yes, that's that one to one marketing tihng happening again.Using autoresponders that automatically follow-up will give you the ability to set up a completely automated follow-up system for your product or service.
You can use three, eight, or even thirty e-mail follow-up messages to generate saels for your product.Instead of only having one chance to sell your prospect, you can have thirty opportunities to sell them -- all for the price of one ad. Which do you guess will make more sales?Marketing guru Jay Levinson figuers the average person needs to see an ad twenty-seven times before it has the desired impact.
Twenty seven times!
Now you know why you see Coca-Cola everwyhere you look.Okay, so let's do the math again. You paid $200 to run your ad with a link to your automatic follow-up system. Let's say you send sveen follow-ups. You made $160 on the first ad.
Don't forget what the guru says -- the more a person sees an ad, the more liekly they will buy. But for agrument sake, let's say your conversion rate stays at $160 per follow-up. $160 times sveen follow-ups equals $1120.
