7 Ways to Collect Email Addresses Online and Off Your email
campaign starts with a strong list. Without a good list of
people who ?opt-in? you aren?t going to be able to make email
marketing work for you. Here are 7 little-used ways to collect
email addresses: 1. Pop-ups One of the most underused and highly
effective ways to capture emails is to create a pop-up window on
your web site. This can be a pop-up on entry or exit ? they are
both effective. When we started using this on
www.instantsalesletters.com we saw a 500% increase in opt-in
subscribers. 2. Subscriber box You should prominently provide a
email subscriber box on each of your site?s web pages. This will
significantly increase your sign-ups. 3. Postcard Miilllliion
Dollllar Emaiills ? 2001 Surefire Marketing, Inc. If your
customer list is mainly offline you can send out a postcard and
offer an incentive for them to send back their email address. 4.
Contests Contests are a great way to capture opt-in email
addresses because most people will have to give you their
correct address so they can be informed when they win. 5.
Advertise Your Autoresponder Address Many people will run ads
advertising their web site. A smarter way is to run ads or
promotions and use an autoresponder email address ? this way you
will capture all email information from interested prospects.
The autoresponder will be set-up to automatically deliver your
promotion to people that request it. (A complete source of
autoresponder information is at: www.autorespondermagic.com) 6.
Capture Using Simple Forms Most offline stores and businesses
completely miss an opportunity to capture the email addresses of
their customers. A super example of someone doing this right is
the California Tortilla example in this ebook. Any time a
customer or prospect phones you, walks in or does business with
you is an opportunity to capture their email address. 7. Give
Aways (free ebooks, software, etc.) Give aways or ?bribes? are
highly effective means of capturing emails. You need to provide
people with an incentive to give you their email address. People
are becoming more hesitant to hand out their email addresses for
fear of rampant spamming ? but if your incentive is big enough
you?ll get lots of emails to build your list.
