There’s one thing about an autoresponder service—relationship. Voluntarily getting the name and email address of your site’s visitors is one of the most important things you can do to build a thriving website. Whether the site is a non-profit one trying to update its members, or an online business that is selling the solution to someone’s needs, 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 it a snap to continually stay in touch with them. If we relied on people bookmarking our sites and returning when they had time, we would have very few return visitors. Instead, if we stayed 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 on auto-pilot for each individual. 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 email number two, and another mail will be sent to them after four days. The autoresponder does this automatically, even if you’re out of town, sleeping, or doing another thing. It even inserts their first name into the salutation and body of the email.
You don’t need using 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 great 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 Internet, but Aweber, for me, has the most number of features and, by far, the easiest set up. It’s about building relationships, and autoresponder services can help take them deeper.
