An autoresponder service is all about one thing—relationship. Voluntarily getting the name and email address of your site’s visitors is one of the essential things you have to do to establish a thriving website. Whether your site is for a non-profit organization that is trying to keep members informed and motivated, or or a business selling solutions to people’s needs online, having the contact information is interested parties is critical is crucial.
A good email autoresponder service will do more than make it easy to get someone’s contact information, it will make easier to constantly get in touch with your visitors. If we relied on people bookmarking our sites and returning when they had time, we would have very few return visitors. Instead, if we keep in touch with them, kept them informed on the topic that brought them to our site in the first place, we will build a relationship with them.
The power of an autoresponder service is that once you write your emails, upload them with a single click, they work automatically for our clients. Whether someone signs-up for your mailing list today or next month, they receive the same welcome email from you instantaneously. Then, 24 hours later (or whatever time-frame you tell the autoresponder), it sends the second email, and then four days to the moment after they signed up they get another email. Maybe you’re asleep, maybe you’re out of town, but it doesn’t matter because the autoresponder is doing all of this automatically. It even inserts their first name into the salutation and body of the email.
You don’t have to use the delayed feature, though. You can type up an email, make it more personal by inserting each person’s name in the headline, and clicking “Send” like you would in your favorite email program. It will go out instantly to everyone on your list. A good autoresponder service can even indicate how many people have accessed the email you have sent!
There are a lot of autoresponder services available on the World Wide Web, but I have found AWeber to have the most features and, by far, the easiest set up. It’s all about relationships, and which are made deeper by autoresponder services.
