How to Formate Autoresponder Messages

August 24th, 2009 biggs No comments

You definitely have received emails that were all broken up? These emails have one or two words on one line, then eight or ten words on the next line. In some cases, one word begins on one line and ends on the next. These emails are very hard to read, and they appear to be very unprofessional. Is this what you want your auto responder email messages to look like?

If not, you need to learn how to format your messages. Start by reading the instructions for your specific auto responder. Each one operates a bit differently in the way that it handles text. For instance, some auto responder messages will be messed up if you do put a hard line break at the end of each line, while others will be messed up if you do not. Find out what the right option is for your auto responder.

Because each email client is different, you should not allow any line in your message to exceed 65 characters. This will help prevent lines from breaking up, and it is achieved by hitting the enter key at the end of each sixty-five character line. The best way to be sure that your auto responder messages are delivered in the correct format is to send them
to yourself, before you send them to your list.

Building Interest with Autoresponder Messages

August 23rd, 2009 biggs No comments

You should indeed be very careful as to how you approach your potential customer when you are using auto responder to sell a product or service. Few people like a hard sale, and marketers have known for years that in most cases, a prospect must hear your message an average of seven times before they will make a purchase. How do you accomplish this with
auto responders?

It is really quite simple, and in fact, the auto responders make getting the message to your potential customers those seven times possible. On the Internet, without the use of auto responders, you probably could not achieve that. Too often, marketers make the mistake of literally slamming the potential customer with a hard sales pitch with the first auto responder message.

You build interest slowly. Start with an informative message. A message that educates the reader in some way 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. Use that first message to focus on the problem that your product or service can solve, with just a hint of the
solution.

Build up from there, moving into how your product or service can solve a problem, and then with the next message, ease into the benefits of your product, giving the reader more actual information with each and every message. Your final message should be the sale pitch not your first one! With each message, make sure that you are giving the customer information pertaining 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 may take time to get it exactly right. Use the examples that other marketers have set for you. Pay attention to the messages that you receive from other marketers. Start a swap file, and keep those messages. Use some of the better sales copy for your own auto responder messages just make sure that yours does not turn out to be an exact copy of someone else sales message!

Remember not to start with a hard sale. Build your potential customers interest. Keep building on what the problem is, and how your product or service can solve that problem or fill that need. If you are doing this right, by the time the potential customer reads
the last message in that series, they will be convinced enough to make a purchase!

Efficient Customer Service with Autoresponders

August 22nd, 2009 biggs No comments

Ideally, when you perform customer service, it is done on a one on one basis with each of your customers. That works quite well in the offline world but on the Internet, that simply will not do. Your customers are literally all over the world and there is no way that you can really deal with each one of them personally. That is where an auto responder
comes in.

Customer service with auto responders is quite simple. When an order is place, an auto responder can send out the receipt for the sale, the information for accessing the product and a thank your email. This happens whether you are logged in to your computer or on vacation in an exotic location! But customer service does not always end right there, and if you are away from your computer, you may be letting your customers down!

For instance, an elderly gentleman sees your product advertised and places an order. Everything goes through just fine and he receives the receipt, the download information, and your thank your email. Your product is an e book, compiled into a PDF file. This particular gentleman does not understand what a PDF file is, and he has no idea what you mean by right click to download. He needs additional customer service for the product that he has purchased, and there is nobody available to help him but an auto responder.

Set up an additional auto responder that will send out a list of frequently asked questions or problems that deal with customer service or how to access the product. Also set up a support autoresponder. If he sends a message to support, he should get an instant message back letting him know that his message has been received, and how soon it will be addressed. This will give him some measure of comfort, and in most cases, he will wait that specified period of time for assistance.

However, if he does not know how to download the product, and he sends a message to support, and nothing happens, he will most likely become very dissatisfied in a very short period of time. The difference between a patient customer and an irate customer is one simple auto responder message that can and should be set up in under five minutes.

Really think your ordering process through, and consider the potential problems that may occur for your customers. Get an autoresponder set up to address those problems, and you will find that your customers are more satisfied with your products, and extremely satisfied with your customer service all because your auto responders handle their problems right away.
