Surviving the Storm?

Hi, hope everyone is doing well.
I know so many are under this severe ice storm. Sure hope your electric is on or your safe at a shelter or friends. This for the central U.S. from Texas up through somewhere above Missouri is really a trip. I'm in south west Missouri by Springfield, which there right now is 70-80% electric off. We at our place are still blessed we've had hard rain and little ice,and is ice cold, but the electric is still on. Our son and this family are an hour and a half away and lost power the first day of this, made it over to a friends about 20 miles away. The 3rd round is due tonight and the last I hope. The temperature is to stay in the single digits for a few days so will get some ice here. If you have been in this storm when you can get on your computer let me know the adventures you've been through. By the way this is the end of the second week in January. 2007,
hope this isn't a taste of what the rest of the winter is to be like.

Wishing you all the best,
Dolores (dody)

Email Marketing: Affordable Internet Marketing Technique

Copyright © Dolores Davis

Email marketing is labeled as a killer method when it comes to effective
low-cost Internet marketing endeavors. This is because it is the most
widely-used and has the best reputation in bringing targeted traffic to
websites. It is used to stay in touch with your customers or prospective
customers, send out invitations, or make special offers.

It's as easy as writing an e-mail that may be in a form of a newsletter or
a plain announcement, and sending that to as many targeted recipients as
possible. However, there's an ideal way of going about it. Email marketing
is not just about writing any email that you will be sending to anybody.
To clarify that, here are some simple tips in doing email marketing the best
way possible.

1. Join the "Can Spam" campaign.

Email marketing is not at any rate tantamount to spamming. You are not
supposed to send information that your email list will not have any
valuable use for.

2. Make your email list open it.

Your email might get lost together with the hundreds of emails that inbox
owners are confronted with everyday. Improve your subject line by using
extra white space creatively, adding text symbols, starting each word with
a capital letter, asking compelling questions, not making any unbelievable
claims, and not using the word FREE.

3. Keep it real.

Not including any too good to be true statements is not only applicable to
your subject line. Your email content must never embody any promise your
business can't keep. Make your offer genuinely of value to your recipients.

4. Don't go too low.

If you inform your customers regarding discounts, minimal discounts are
not that effective compared with substantial discounts. But never offer
discounts that are lower than your profit. It will defeat the purpose of
this email marketing effort.

5. Make it eventful.

It's not about contradicting the advice that you should keep an email short
and sweet. This tip is on including seminars, conferences and other events
in your email. Businesses that require training benefit much from this method.
With these RSVP-requiring emails, repetition is important. Just make sure
that an ample interval is considered before sending out a reminder email.

6. Post news.

Sending newsletters and postcards provides useful information for your
subscribers. These are the best forms of reaching out to your customers or
prospects. You should keep the information short, simple and direct to the
point for this feat to be effective.

With these simple ways of going about your email marketing endeavor, your
business will prosper in no time.
