Effective Business-to-Business (B2B) Email Marketing

by Ray Lam

As you go about developing a marketing plan for your Net based business enterprise (or, for that matter, for a venture that exists in the brick and mortar world) you will want to make certain that you consider all of your promotional alternatives. In this regard, you will want to consider frankly the value of direct email marketing. There are a number of benefits that you can realize through direct email marketing. In fact, when all is said and done — when you consider the pros and cons associated with direct email marketing — you will be able to determine whether this type of promotional approach is worth it, whether it will be valuable to your own business venture.

The first principle of business email marketing is to use a list server, or what is commonly known as an autoresponder. An autoresponder is an efficient way to collect email addresses into your database as well as follow up with them automatically. There are a few scripts online that allow you to host an autoresponder on your server or website. An important thing to note is that a third party autoresponder company is probably the safest route to go, due to the spam issue. In order to safeguard yourself from being accused of sending spam, it is good to use a third party autoresponder service like Aweber or Getresponse for your business email marketing.

Second, direct email marketing is easy to develop. There are some types of marketing schemes that take a long time to pull together. Such is not the case when it comes to direct email marketing.

Finally, the fact is that although some people complain about direct email marketing, the reality is that direct email marketing is effective. The rate of return between “pieces” sent out and “responses” received is considered to be at the high end when it comes to direct email marketing. (Naturally, you will want to make very certain that you comply fully with all statutes, regulations and rules pertaining to direct email marketing on the Net.)

Contact old, inactive clients and offer them something new or freebies to convince them to do business with you again. Let them know what they have missed and why they shouldn’t miss the next product you are offering.
