Direct Mail Secrets for Insane Email List
Profits
By Dan Lok
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»
Backend marketing to your list can be
extremely powerful when firing on all cylinders. You need to make the
best, highest quality offers you can. And the best way to ‘be able’ to
achieve that is by optimizing your list marketing for optimum
conversions. Here’s how you do that…
What you want to do is something called, list segmentation. This is
simply dividing your list into smaller groups according to certain
criteria. We’ll get to that in a moment. After segmenting your list,
you’ll be able to specialize your product offers to each segment.
This is extremely powerful and done right… it’ll skyrocket your
conversions and profits. Lets continue…
The principle behind segmenting is targeting your offers based on
customer needs, desires, and buying power. The end result will be
promoting offers to people who’ll be more likely to buy.
Quite simple and elegant!
You’ll also achieve higher customer satisfaction. Why? If a business
does NO segmentation, then every single subscriber receives the same
message. Right?
I cannot count the number of times I’ve been annoyed with receiving an
email offer for something I’ve already purchased! Ever happened to
you? I bet it has.
And it’s just plain crazy to market a higher priced offer to
subscribers who have NEVER bought anything!
So lets take a look at some ways you can segment your list for higher
conversions and increased profits.
One method used by direct response marketers considers 3 main areas.
1. How recent a customer has purchased from you.
2. How often the customer makes a purchase.
3. How much the customer spends.
Now, this subject of list segmentation is very wide and exhaustive. So
today we’ll only hit some highlights. But it’ll give you a great start
with your own list.
You can segment your list according to how long your subscribers have
been with you. There’s some flexibility with this. So you can try
something like dividing into the 4 annual quarterly periods.
Your newest subscribers can be golden when treated properly because
they’re prime for being converted into paying customers. They’re fresh
and looking forward to your ezine or email course. You can make
special offers to this group as an introductory marketing campaign.
The special offers should be designed to be as attractive as possible.
Designed to entice, intrigue, and excite.
Once converted into paying customers, then you’ll segment them
accordingly and move on.
Every list has a group that has never bought anything… yet. But do NOT
give up on them. They’re still valuable because you can do something
that smart marketers always do. TEST!
That’s right. You can send them offers with different price points,
marketing messages, etc. Use your business and marketing creativity!
Try making them a very low-cost offer. For example… many of you may
have seen reports selling for the magical $7 price point. Or…
You can be more direct with them and ask them if they’re happy with
your ezine. Solicit some feedback from them. Ask them if they want to
remain on your list! Think of a good way to engage them in some way.
Why not? You just may convert some into buying customers. Then move
them into their own special group.
Now lets talk about, frequency…
How often has someone on your list made a purchase. Look for those who
have made more than one purchase. Ideally, you have a good number of
them. Then you can divide them into specific number of times they’ve
bought.
This is where it gets exciting!
If you have such a segment within your list, then you can design
special higher-priced offers to them. But make darn sure these offers
are high quality and the higher price is fully justified.
The people in this segment have proven their loyalty. They have shown
that they like the products and service they've been getting from you.
So this group contains your very best prospects for higher priced
offers.
And your conversions for these special offers will reflect the quality
of customers in this group.
The third area concerns how much your customers spend with you. So
you’ll segment your list according to price point. And hopefully
you’ll already have had some bigger ticket sales. If so, here’s what
you can do…
Look for your highest price point customers. Then create a special
group and these will be your premium subscribers. You have a lot of
flexibility with this group because you can design excellent offers
exclusively for them. For example…
You can create an exclusive… and pricey… membership service for them.
It’s the best form of subscription-based service for obvious reasons.
If done smartly and creatively you can really boost your profit levels
with a group like this!
So! Have you ever tried looking at your list in this manner? If not,
you’re losing out big time! It’s a very simple way to dramatically
increase your list marketing conversions. There’s always more to the
story, though. But get cracking on your list and see what happens!

HOT BIZ*TIP
_____________________
Save That
Stuff
How often do you
order something online or sign up for something on a Web site? Well,
if you're like me, you do it quite often. Almost every Web site you
visit either has something you need to register for or they're trying
to get you to buy their products. It's certainly not bad if you do
this kind of thing, but there are some rules you should make for
yourself when you do.
I'm mainly
talking about saving the information you accumulate from those
transactions. It's best to save all of that for your future records.
For example, if you purchase something from a Web site, you usual get
a confirmation e-mail. When you get those, you should always save
them, just in case you need it for something else. Those e-mails will
always contain an order ID number and it's very helpful for us if you
have that. The same goes for any other Web site you buy from. Always
keep your receipts on hand, because you never know when you'll need to
refer back to them.
This also holds
true for any items you may sign up for. For instance, if you register
with a web site, you have to create a username and password. Make sure
you save that information so you never have to worry about forgetting
it when you need it. This applies to any Web site that has some sort
of registration. The best thing to do is create a folder just for
those receipts, confirmations, etc. You can either keep it on your
desktop or in your e-mail program. Either way, you should save all of
that information each time you get it. It only makes sense.
