If you are employing your autoresponder to sell a product or service, you must be really careful as to how you approach your possible customer. Few people like a hard sale, and marketers have recognised that for years. In fact it is generally accepted that a prospect must hear your message on average seven times prior to making a purchase. How do you achieve this with autoresponders?
It is really quite simple to get your message to your potential customers those seven times by utilising your autoresponder correctly. On the Internet, without the use of autoresponders, you probably could not achieve that. Far too often, marketers make the mistake of literally slamming the potential customer with a hard sales pitch with the first autoresponder message – this will not work.
You should build interest slowly. Start with an informative message – a message that educates the reader in some manner on the topic that your product or service is related to. At the bottom of the message, include a link to the sales page for your product. Employ that first message to center on the problem that your product or service can solve, with merely a suggestion of the solution.
Develop from there, moving onto how your product or service can resolve the problem, and then with the following message, ease into the benefits of your product – giving the reader more actual information with each and every message. Your final message in the sequence should be the sales pitch – not your first one! With each message, make certain that you are giving the customer information appertaining to the topic – free information! This is what will keep them interested in what you have to say.
This type of marketing is an art. It could take time to get it exactly right. Apply the examples that other marketers have set for you. Pay attention to the messages that you receive from other marketers. Begin a “swap” file, and keep those messages. Employ some of the better sales copy for your own autoresponder messages – just make sure that yours does not turn out to be an exact copy of somebody else’s sales message!
Remember do not start with a hard sale. Build your potential customers interest. Keep building on what the problem is, and how your product or service can resolve that problem or meet that need. If you are executing this right, by the time the potential customer reads the last message in the series, they will be convinced sufficiently to make a purchase!
