Email lists are the only thing you own on the internet! ::Shook:: Since this is so important we want to help you learn the 5 ways to build an email list for a product based business. By the way, building the list is only half the battle.
Put a drop down box on your website within the first 7 seconds
We've all seen this. "Want an extra 15%? Sign up for our Newsletter." Entered our email to receive the 15% and received emails from the brand going forward. Plus, if you don't already, this is a great way to shop as a consumer. Also, quick ROI to gain a sale and a new customer.
2. On the bottom of your website have a "Join our Email List"
This one is more for the serious email inquirers. They are on the hunt to be apart of the brand's "in the know" moments. We like them.
3. Post about it on social media with giveaways
Yes, thats right. Entice the masses! Let your followers know on all your favorite platforms that they can be a part of the giveaway. All the have to do is click the link and sign up with their email. People love winning free things and now you have their email to share discounts, education, brand news and well, more giveaways.
4. Take it to the streets
Have a paper trail at your events and pop ups where people can write their emails for you to manually input later.
5. Opt-IN @ Check out
When you receive an online sale, have the customer add in their email with a little opt-in section. Let them know it's to receive brand news, promotions and more.
Here is one little Pro-Tip. Don't spam. Make sure your e-mails hold value, creates strong education and keep the viewer wanting more. If you are looking for email marketing help, email marketing strategy or design, please email us at hello@mangomarketingco.com
