Is your current marketing as effective as you want?

posted June 18th, 2007 posted posted by John Dilbeck

I recently realized that I’ve neglected an important part of my marketing efforts and I know I’m losing business as a result.

I bet you are, too.

Are you trying to sell your products and services to visitors who may visit your site just one time? If so, how much business are you losing when your visitor doesn’t buy right then?

You can do one simple thing to increase your conversion ratio: entice your visitor to subscribe to your newsletter and/or an email series that describes the benefits of the product or service you are trying to sell.

If the visitor subscribes to either of these email follow-up series, then she has shown at least some interest in what you have to offer.

Now, instead of one chance to make the sale, you have multiple opportunities to educate your prospect about the subject, to elaborate on the benefits provided by the product, and to build more of a relationship with your subscribers.

Even if you don’t make the sale eventually, you will have built some measure of goodwill if you provide quality information in your follow-up messages.

I’ve just started an Autoresponder marketing and building your lists series on JohnDilbeckAndFriends.com. I would welcome your thoughts and comments there.

Act on your dream!

Welcome to John Dilbeck Musings

posted September 7th, 2006 posted posted by John Dilbeck

This is a new, and hopefully final, version of John Dilbeck’s Musings.

I started this blog on Blogger.com many months ago and it was located at johndilbeck.blogspot.com until December 2005, when I experienced multiple difficulties with Blogger.com and closed my account.

I moved all my blogs off of Blogger.com and Blogspot.com and I’ve been working for the last nine months to build a new network of blogs and websites on domains I own and control.

While the initial entry of this blog is made on September 7, 2006, I am going back through the old John Dilbeck’s Musings posts and republishing any that are not obsolete. This will provide a smaller archive of the old blog while removing any messages that are no longer relevant.

I hope you enjoy my musings and I welcome your comments and feedback.

All the best,

JD
