Once you website is launched, you’ll almost certainly want to start collecting email addresses from the site’s visitors. Of course not every visitor will want to sign up to your email list, but a proportion will, assuming you give them a good enough reason to do so.
Autoresponders are a great way to keep in contact with your clients. In addition, using an autoresponder service to build a list of qualified leads is one of the fastest ways to grow your business.
Using an autoresponder, you can create and manage a newsletter, send out a one-time broadcast about a special event or offer and even conduct surveys with your subscribers.
You can even create a series of pre-written emails that converts your new leads into clients.
With the current plague of SPAM and unsolicited email, using an autoresponder service that is fully CAN-SPAM compliant is extremely important in limiting your business’s liability.
The most important thing to consider when looking at using an email service provider is its deliverability rates. It doesn’t matter how good a company says its services are, if your emails are not getting delivered to your subscribers, you’re just wasting your money.
