Here'srepparttar list:

1) Use first names whenever possible. (I'm much more apt to open a message directed to "Randall" vs. "webmaster". In fact, 75% ofrepparttar 109574 emails I just deleted were addressed generically to "webmaster". Hey, if I don't know you and you don't know my name, I probably have little interest in what you are going to tell me.)

2) Mention products, newsletters, URLs, etc. (This helps recipients feel more comfortable with you and shows that you have interest in their business. If I see an email that mentions my website, I at least knowrepparttar 109575 sender has spent some time and/or thought into his/her email. It's worth looking at.)

3) Utilize a 48-hour policy (The online world is fast-paced. People don't hang around very long for answers. The faster you respond to individuals,repparttar 109576 better you look over other competitors. The better you look,repparttar 109577 better your chances at a sale.)

4) Never assumerepparttar 109578 worst (It's easy to read more into emails thanrepparttar 109579 sender may ever have intended. Don't jump to conclusions and think that someone is trying to attack you. My motto is always to respond politely regardless of howrepparttar 109580 original email was worded.)

5) Check before sending (The point here is simply to check your work before you clickrepparttar 109581 send button. When I see miss-spelled words, wrong references, etc. you can almost guarantee that email is inrepparttar 109582 trash.)

Just remember, an effective online marketing campaign starts slowly. Start using these simple strategies to make your emails more personable…and watch your credibility and online business sales grow.
