Next, you will need to have a few emails programmed to be sent to your lists at set intervals. Write these first, and set the autoresponder to send them at specific times to specific lists. Then write your newsletters, sales letters or website sales pages, and add these to the emails in which you want them to appear. A sales page will appear in the form of a link, and the sales letter will be an email. Some prefer one or the other, though you can use both if you want to.Once a customer has made the purchase, their details should be added to a ‘customer’ database, with a different database for each product so that know who has purchased what. The sales page or letter should include a payment link that takes them to your credit card processor. This should also include PayPal or a similar system if you do not like PayPal. Once payment has been made, the processor should allow you to write a thank you email which is sent to the customer along with the merchant’s receipt.The payment link must also include a means of receiving or downloading the purchase, and all online payment merchants offer a means of doing this.Finally, write a follow-up letter to be sent at a specific time after the sale, asking the customer if everything is OK. If not, your guarantee offer can also be automated so that payment is refunded with a covering email.So, as you can see, automating a business to run on autopilot is not difficult if you have the right tools. Once it has been set up, all you have to do is keep building you

As part of a series of articles on how to survive as a small retailer, this article is about the decision to refit your store.Most stores, large and small, will be refitted at some time or other. Refitting is carried out for a variety of reasons, including the following:1. The fixtures are getting grubby and are in need of refurbishment or replacement 2. Inevitably products will have changed over time, rendering the existing fixtures unsuitable 3. New merchandising ideas have come along that promise greater sales and or profit, warranting a refit 4. A big product promotion takes place that requires a change of layout and refit 5. A struggling store refits in order to revitalize salesGambleRefitting your store and remerchandising your products is not for the faint hearted! The smaller your business, the bigger is the gamble - and refitting is ALWAYS a gamble. The large multiple chain stores build up a bank of experience in refitting. They can pilot different fixtures, point of sale and product ranges in one or two stores only, as a way of gauging reaction before they do it on a bigger scale.Things can still go wrong. Remember it is a gamble. The difference between chain stores and a single store is that the gamble is minimised and not usually life threatening with a chain. With a single store, if your refit goes wrong you could soon be out of business. What can go wrong? Firstly, the refit process itself may go awry. It may overrun and force closure, or partial closure,
Email is used heavily in both B2B and B2C markets. The medium has obvious advantages- immediate, cost effective, real-time tracking and quick feedback loops for testing. The benefits are well documented, but this only tells half the story. UK email practitioners are facing difficult challenges when trying to manage an email program.
Adestra have conducted a survey of 65 UK based email practitioners to discover what the main challenges are that are facing them today. The results make interesting reading, with participants readily recognising that they could improve their email program.
In this article we provide a detailed summary of the main findings and Adestra’s suggestions of how you can address them. We also look to the US. A more advanced email market than the UK, a recent Marketing Sherpa study has provided insight into the challenges facing US marketers. Despite a more advanced email market, the challenges described are similar to those facing UK experiences showing that all email practitioners across the globe are facing similar challenges

Years ago when my Dad owned a group of local newspapers I spent my school and college vacations working in the editorial office. We used to amuse ourselves over our sandwiches at lunchtime looking through and trashing the endless press releases that would arrive in the mail each day, all beautifully produced with glossy photographs (this was in pre-internet days).We trashed them because all but the odd one or two were ill-considered, highly subjective, barely camouflaged advertising copy that had about as much editorial news value as last week's shopping list.Why am I telling you all this? Because despite the fact that this happened many years ago, it's still happening today. Both offline and now online editors continue to laugh sardonically at the self-promoting garbage they receive from corporate sources exactly as my Dad and I laughed umpty-dump years ago. I salivate just thinking about how I could spend the fortunes wasted on those releases and photographs over so many years.And why does this continue to happen? I believe it is because the organizations who send out this stuff - particularly their financial managers - just can't get their heads around the difference in culture between what they want to say, and what editors need to deliver to their audiences. Good PR advisers try hard to compensate, but ultimately it's the client who pays their fees, and if the client insists on issuing garbage there's not much a PR adviser can do other than resign the business.Time a

I recently had an experience with a business that went way beyond excellent customer service and they not only made a customer for life, they made me a torchbearer for their success. As you read this, imagine what your company would be like if it offered this level of service.I was in Los Angeles for a business trip and met with a client and a consultant at the Loews Santa Monica Beach Hotel. My first impressions of the hotel were good but not great. The building was beautiful, but the parking was expensive in a area where it shouldn’t have been.My client and I found a nice table in the lobby where we could comfortably wait for the consultant. The consultant called to let us know she would be about an hour late so we decided to get a bite to eat. We asked and found out that the restaurant was closed but a cocktail waitress told us she might be able to do a “little something” for us. To our delightful surprise she returned in a few minutes with a breakfast that was everything we imagined and more. Linen napkins, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed orange juice, toasted bagels, a cheese plate and more. And this with the kitchen closed.Our meeting ran until lunch so we decided to give the restaurant a chance. As we approached the hostess, she was talking on the phone but she quickly acknowledged us turned and nodded to someone and a waiter instantly appeared to whisk us to a beautiful outside table. The waiter was courteous and when he asked us for water he asked if my client would like some lemon in her water a

You can avoid all the negative things associated with going to the office everyday by investing in a home based business. As the term denotes, a home based business refers to a business venture that is based right in the comforts of your home.Most people dream of a home based job not only because it offers them an opportunity to work at home sans the hassle of going out and traveling to work everyday but also because of it financial rewards. A home based business may be risky because one never knows what fate awaits his business venture. However, a person who has successfully established a home based business has struck gold.A home based business affords one all the freedom to do as he pleases and to operate his business using his own style and skills. On top of that, a home based business requires little capital and low overhead. Compared to a mall-based business which requires expensive rentals, a home based business requires no rent at all and this can be a favorable factor in the success of the business.A person starting up a home based business will usually choose a business which is already familiar to him either because he is already practically in that business or it is his hobby. In such case, it is presumed that he already has most of the equipment needed to start the business. Most homes already have telephone connections so using a telephone for your home based business would no longer be an additional expense.If you are already equipped with computers and printers you can also use them

As a salesman you may find yourself having the opportunity to make cold calls in person or on the phone. You will want to train yourself that they are easy and simple to do. Do not let yourself get overly concerned. There are great rewards to be had by overcoming your fear of making cold calls.First, realize that you are a person that is calling on another person. What is the worst that can happen? You need to relax and try to enjoy the phone call. If you say to yourself that you hate making calls, you are going to have a miserable day and that will be made manifest to the people you are talking to and your sales will suffer.Your first challenge on the phone is to get to the decision maker or to get through the ‘gatekeepers’. This may be the secretary, children or the answering machine. You need to find the right response to get through. When they ask who is calling, return with a question like “would you tell them it is John Smith form Sales LLC.” The question is softer and gives them the power instead of trying to tell them to go and bother the boss or parent.Once you have found the decision maker, you have a very short and limited amount of time to make the right impression. Do not try to make small talk. You are interrupting something so you need to be to the point quickly. The person will want to know who is calling and why. Hence, when they answer, ask if you have the right person. When they say yes, then you need to make your introduction quickly and to the point.“Mr. Johnson my name
