We recommend Email Marketing to all of our clients. It’s an effective, low-cost way to communicate with existing and potential customers.
How does it work?
Visitors to your website or business sign up to become “subscribers” of your news and updates.
Using MailChimp.com, we’ll
- create your account
- create a sign-up form so visitors can join your “List” of subscribers.
- design a template for your “Campaign”. (The emails you’ll send to your subscribers. You might also know them as “newsletters” or “e-blasts”.
- add a sign-up checkbox to your website’s contact form.
In many cases, we recommend “RSS-Driven” campaigns. When you publish new posts to your website, your subscribers will receive the new posts by email. You can choose whether to send campaigns on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, and campaigns are only sent when new posts are published.
