You can use autoresponders to introduce potential customers to your business and all of the helpful information that you have to offer. And you can keep the info fresh by simply updating the response file from time to time.
When you use this method, in addition to your company website, a wealth of knowledge can be made available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
2. Tech Support Replies
If you offer tech support by way of email, and you should
whenever possible, set up an autoresponder to let your customers know that you have received their important message.
This tells them that your system is working properly, that you care enough about their problem to send an immediate response, and that someone will contact them personally as soon as possible. Then be sure to follow up quickly, with a personal email, fax or phone call.
If you use professional software, such as Postmaster, you can even personalize your messages with the person's name and email address.
3. FREE Online Courses
If you have a large amount of information that will help your customers, offer a FREE Online Course by using a series of timed autoresponse messages.
Such courses can be easily updated and expanded as new or additional information becomes available.
This is a powerful way to stay in touch with your customers,
and is the basis for much of the marketing that takes place online.
4. [FAQ] Frequently Asked Questions
Keep track of all of the questions that your customers ask you, and from time to time, offer the questions, with appropriate answers in an "FAQ" file. This can be made available to anyone who enters the email address for that autoresponder.
If you find that your FAQ file is getting too big, you can break it into smaller files, and send an index of those files in the first autoresponse. Then the person can request the individual file that meets their needs, by using the specific email address for that file.
[FAQ] files are a great time-saver for you. By using autoresponders, along with your company website, you can provide a tremendous amount of information to your customers, and visitors. This reduces the amount of time spent answering the same questions time and time again.
5. Form Responses
Set up one or more forms on your website to allow your visitors to request information from you, and use an autoresponder to send an immediate response. You can use a specific response for each form, based on the type of information requested.
Autoresponders are powerful marketing tools. In addition to offering immediate replies to your visitors questions, autoresponders can be used to stay in touch, and build better relationships with potential and existing customers.
The proper use of autoresponders helps to set you apart as a true online professional, and adds an effective weapon to your marketing arsenal, giving you the edge you need to stay ahead of your competition. |
