A Systematic Approach to Growing Email Newsletter Subscribers for Product Businesses
Despite the proliferation of social media, growing email subscribers is as important today as ever but there is often confusion about how to go about this in a systematic way.
Two Solid Techniques to Grow Your Email Subscriber List
In the video above and summary below we show you how to add email opt-in prompts to your website and how to take advantage of Social Promotions to spur the growth of your subscriber list.
Here are the tools referenced in the video*:
- MailChimp
- Sumo
- AddThis
- Shortstack
- Locable Marketing Platform (content tools)
Remember, giveaways need to have broad appeal and be valuable enough to get someone to take the time to enter - you need to clear the expected value threshold given the perceived odds of winning. You can also sweeten the deal by giving every entry a coupon so everyone wins a little.
Entries are also driven by your marketing activities - social media shares, emails to your existing subscribers and paid ads (social media and otherwise) are all critical to driving participation.
Don't be confused, this requires an investment of time and money however it's not very expensive and has a solid ROI if you do it well and have a desirable product.
