- Have you written any articles about your industry? Have you been published? Sending out an autoresponder to clients with some of your published articles is a great way to show your personal, creative side. Let them download a chapter to read. Remember, no one wants a relationship with a salesperson or company – do you?
- Do you have satisfied clients with testimonials? Send them out with an autoresponder. Reading good things about you and your products will leave a nice impression while sparking interest in your company.
- Set an autoresponder delay. When someone has signed up for your newsletter, have an autoresponder delay setup to go out a few days after they sign up. You can use this to offer some free reports and testimonials from your site. This is giving them a valuable offer, or a thank your for joining, all without a sales pitch.
- Do you sell software? Send out an autoresponder help email for each specific product purchased, including the FAQ’s for each product. Your clients will appreciate not having to search your site to find the basic answers that are now in their hands. It is giving them an electronic quick start guide, creating a professional touch for your company.
