Re-engage Email Subscribers

November 10, 2017 by amsadmin

The point of an email list is to engage with the people on it, and to build a relationship with each person. Ultimately the point of the relationship is to make sales – either to the person on the list, or through them to people they know.

That said, if a person on your list is not engaging with you by at least opening your emails (hopefully reading the content and clicking on the links) at least some of the time, you’re wasting your effort and their time by continuing to email them. You should periodically “wash” your email list by attempting to re-engage with the individuals and, if that doesn’t work, removing them from your list. A small, dedicated and engaged audience is better than a larger audience that doesn’t give a damn about you.

Why Free Stuff Sux

I’ve been talking with a lot of people lately about ‘building your email list.” Rule #1, they say, is give something away for free. Okay, there’s merit in that suggestion I suppose. But quantity does not equal quality. If you want quality subscribers who are more likely to buy whatever it is you’re going to sell down the line, you want people who’ve already shown a willingness to buy from you. You want to charge people on your list for what they get.

Restaurant Rants – Part 2

March 18, 2014September 25, 2013 by amsadmin

I used to have lunch at a chain sandwich shop near my office a few times a month. When they first opened, they were doing a good business. I enjoyed the place enough that I signed up for the corporate emails, which sometimes included coupons. I’d print them off and use them in the restaurant.

Granted, the town where I had my office has slid far, far downhill in the last 15 years. Three major factories closed around 1998, and a lot of the people left in town don’t make anywhere near as much money as they used to. So any business there is kind of hard.

There was (and still is) another franchised sandwich shop in town. For years, that chain had been my favorite. But they’d begun raising their prices to what I consider a ridiculous level, and I was really enjoying the new place anyway.
