“If you build it, they will come.”
-The Mystery Voice in Field of Dreams
Ok, so now you have a website for your business. But you feel somewhat betrayed by the mystery voice inside your head.
I’ve gotten people to come, now why won’t anyone come back and buy my products?
Well, if you have ruled out the possibility that maybe your website is just plain awful and in need of optimization, another reality still exists.
A website is only part of the online marketing equation.
The problem is, since websites can't "push" content to people at a later point, first-time visitors often remain as one-time visitors, never returning to the website they found. An email marketing solution can help.
How E-mail Marketing will help Generate Higher Profits
Marketing is usually a process, not a single incident, and most prospects don't buy the first time they visit. It would be great if everyone who landed on your site immediately purchased large quantities of whatever it is you are selling. Experts state it often takes 7 or more messages before prospective customers make a purchase. Sure there will be impulse buys but what about all of those prospects who need facts over time to decide on a purchase when they're ready?
Everyone knows that for high-involvement purchases (those that require a high financial or emotional investment) trust and credibility are key factors in closing the deal. If you do not have a good relationship with your prospect, you can kiss their business goodbye.
Trust takes time to develop, and email newsletters provide that dimension to online marketing campaigns. Once a visitor requests email from a website, that initial interest can be built upon and turned into a profitable relationship.
Content can then be strategically placed in front of subscribers in the form of well planned campaigns, with information broken up into smaller pieces, allowing website owners to prospect more effectively to more prospects.
While a website relies on visitors to return, email newsletters allows a website owner to "push" valuable marketing to prospects, allowing them to build a much longer lasting business relationship than the one that ends with a single visit with no return. Relationships with your prospects and customers result in more sales and higher profits.
