Affiliate Post of week: IContact
When you have a sale, wouldn’t it be great if you could contact your prior customers and let them know about it? How much would that increase your sales?
Well, now you can. All you would need to do is put a sign-up form at the point of sale (POS) that allows customers to add themselves to your opt-in announcements and specials list. Your customers will add their name and email address so they can receive discounts, coupons, and notifications of sales at your store. You’ll benefit by being able to contact these customers, and with the click of a mouse alert them to any new deals or promotions you have. You will begin to build better relationships with your customers and turn many of those one-time visitors into lifetime customers.
When you are ready to send out your messages (you could send store news, surveys, notifications of sales, or even coupons subscribers could cut out and bring in), you would simply log in to our web-based software, write your message, select whom to send it to, and schedule your message for delivery.
And the best part is that iContact doesn’t cut into your budget one bit. Plans start from just $9.95 per month for 250 subscribers. And as your list grows you can easily upgrade. This is for full functionality including automated subscriber management, bounce back handling, message scheduling, surveying, and use of our library of HTML templates. The return on investment from the days and nights of packed sales counters will far outweigh the minimal cost.
