AdWords Management - Using E-Mails
Author: KirtChristensen Total views: 4 Word Count: 571
Use e-mail correctly, and your customers will stick around three times longer. It's the most personal online medium there is. With it you can sell to your customers again and again by building trust and creating an entire business around your own unique personality.
No discussion about Google AdWords would be complete if we didn't show you how to turn that expensive one-millisecond click into a long-term relationship. When someone clicks on your ad, Google charges you $.50 regardless of what happens next. If the guy leaves after five seconds, he's gone, and you'll probably never get him back without paying again.
You are paying 50 cents for five seconds of this guys time-WOW, that works up to be $600 per hour! That way of looking at it could be depressing, but, if that individual leaves their email address, you can correspond with them on an ongoing basis for a fraction of that 50 cents, or for free. With a choice between buying your $1,000 product and giving you his email address which is more likely? You can still sell him your product later.
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
Run-of-the-mill advertisers have little respect for the personal nature of e-mail. They don't realize how easy it is to turn off otherwise receptive prospects to their message, just by violating that.
You need to write to the person as one person. Unless the person you're writing to is part of a group where he or she personally knows each of the other members, then the last thing you want to do is write as though you're talking to a crowd. Talk to your customer, an individual.
1. A "From" Field that Shows You're a Real Person
Consider that if speaking to an individual in the text of your message is working than think how to apply that to other areas of the email. How about your "from" field. Look at the different impressions that these "from" lines make:
Bill Kastl
William Kastl
William D. Kastl
Nakatomi Corporation
William D. Kastl, Nakatomi Corporation
Nakatomi Sales Department
Bill Kastl, Nakatomi Sales
You want to be warm and personal without looking like spam. This is a challenge because spammers are themselves always trying to make their messages look like they're from some forgotten old friend. The key is to say something that is so specific to their particular interests they know no spammer would ever come up with it.
Select a "from" field that will cement your customers to you.
2. A Provocative Subject Line
The context of your email is what will spell success or failure for your email. The subject line will work, not because of a standardized copywriters rule, but because they say something about what a targeted group of people are interested in at that moment.
If you were shown a common a common cross section of e-mail subject lines, you would find it impossible to distinguish them from spam. Therefore we need to talk about a subject you comprehend: Google AdWords
