Utilizing Emails in Managing Adwords
If you utilize e-mail well, you can keep your customers with you 3 times as long. What is the most personal way to contact someone on the internet? Email is the answer. By using email you can sell to your customers over and over again, by forging a trusting relationship and making a business opportunity based on your individual personality.
Google AdWords discussions are incomplete without a conversation about how to turn that costly millisecond click into a long lasting relationship. When an individual clicks on your AdWords ad, you pay 50 cents regardless of what happens afterward. If your potential client only looks at your page for a few seconds then leaves, chances are you won't see him again unless you pay again.
Fifty cents for five seconds of someone's attention-dang, that's $600 an hour! Kind of depressing if you look at it that way. On the other hand, if that person gives you her e-mail address, you can communicate with her on a regular basis for little or no cost. If you're trying to sell a $1,000 product, which is easier to get from your prospects: a $1,000 order or their e-mail address?
When your sales process is more involved, there is a greater need to divide it into more manageable steps.
The Power Of Your E-Mail Lies In Being Personal
So-so advertisers don't fully comprehend the very personal quality of e-mail. They don't understand how simple it is to take a good prospect and make them turn away simply by disrespecting that personal quality that is intrinsic with email.
It is essential to write as an individual. The exception is, if you are writing to someone who is a part of a group where each member knows the other members. Otherwise always compose your emails on a personal vein. Speak to your client, one person.
1. A "From" Field that Shows You're a Real Person
If a personal approach works for the actual text of your e-mail messages, chances are that same principle will apply to other details in your e-mail. Such as your "from" field, for example. Consider the different impressions these "from" lines create:
Bill Kastl
William Kastl
William D. Kastl
Nakatomi Corporation
William D. Kastl, Nakatomi Corporation
Nakatomi Sales Department
Bill Kastl, Nakatomi Sales
Without the "spam" look you want to be amiable and personal. Spammers aim for this look themselves, the "this is from your long lost friend" look, so the truly personal look can be a difficult thing to achieve. The ticket is to include something in the email that is so connected to their peculiar interest that spammers could never have invented it.
Select a "from" field that will cement your customers to you.
2. A Provocative Subject Line
The most important thing about e-mail is that its success or failure is all about context. E-mail subject lines work not because they follow standard copywriting formulas but because they tap into what specific people are interested in at a particular time.
If we showed you generic examples of e-mail subject lines, it would be almost impossible for them to not sound like spam. So let's take examples from a specific context that you understand: Google AdWords
