MenuWhy are my email autoresponder series that I have setup NOT helping my customer conversions at all?
Answers
Hmm. We'd have to see how you're emails are worded. They might feel extremely spammy. I'd reach out to Donnie Cooper on here. He's an expert in email drip campaigns.
There are a lot of variables, but there are some key factors to look at.
For the sake of argument (and probability), let's make the assumption that your leads can be converted to customers using an email sequence.
1. What drives the initial sign-up? And does the autoresponder stay consistent with the promise of the opt-in form? If the opt-in promises something like "exclusive content" and instead delivers sales pitches, subscribers might feel lied to.
2. What value does the autoresponder offer? Is it only discounts and coupons, or are you giving free information that's immediately applicable? To put it another way, if you were NOT selling a product, would there be any content left in your autoresponder?
3. Are your emails clearly written? How many links per email? How mobile-friendly? How visible is the call to action?
4. Are you creating a narrative in the sequence? Is there any coherence between each email? Or is it a disjointed series of "please buy" notes?
There are dozens of factors to consider, but I'm willing to bet that you can make some adjustments to your marketing sequence that will help you convert more customers.
If you'd like, I'm happy to jump on a call with you to go through the sequence and see where improvements could be tested. Schedule a call and we'll get started.
Good luck!
It could be many factors including the offer, the incentive, the price and the product/service. You need about 250 responses to have a valid test. You are describing and email/drip campaign for conversion. This campaign needs to nurture that prospect from the start to the finish line through a series of steps (sales cycle called AIDA - awareness, interest, desire, action). Let me know if you need assistance or would like to set up a call to describe your product/service/pricing/offer in greater detail. Will be glad to assist.
If you are getting a 20% open rate but no good conversions then I would suggest it is the content within the email that's not working. The strong open rate means your subject line and general trustworthiness as a sender is not a problem, but your content just isn't hitting the right angle.
Based on what you've said about the content of your emails it seems to me like they are all quite price-led messages (offers, coupons etc) but maybe that's not the best way to go. Maybe you need to find another angle or a set of angles that will convert better.
These customers haven't signed up straight away so that means they must have unanswered questions about your service that's preventing them from making a decision. What are these questions? Find out and build a content stray around this.
Or maybe go for a softer content-based approach rather than going straight in with pricing offers. Build credibility first over a longer series of emails and keep the pricing emails to a select few throughout the series.
Hope this helps.

How do I get people to subscribe to my email newsletter?
I would seriously consider launching a blog and posting content of the same type to the blog, in abundance. Then add a popup box to the blog to collect email addresses. Post daily blog posts about topics related to your blog and your newsletter. If you do this consistently, over time, you will build up traffic to your blog and also get people entering their email into your popup. This is the free way to do it...EW

I sell an actual item worn by women, mostly middle-aged. Need to strengthen our conversion rate. Which social media is best for this age group?
I've found that with the saturation of retail on social media sites in general, the best way to make a sale is to target the right people who are already looking for what you offer... For you: I'd recommend using highly targeted Facebook Ads (Target by age & gender plus any other things you know about your audience/buyers in terms of things they are interested in). You might also research companies who provide holistic relief for hot flashes, find their facebook pages and create a filter for your ads to target fans of theirs. You could see a HUGE return on just $100 Facebook ad buy. Good Luck and let me know if you'd like to schedule a follow up call; I'd be happy to walk you through the setup and some additional strategies!MH

What is the industry average conversion rate for cold emailing?
Cold emailing is just as bad for you and the recipient. Even if you have the perfect list, the attempt to sell in a cold email is rarely going to be effective. You're better off curating the list to the top prospects, find a mutual connection on LinkedIn or even just cold-invite them on LinkedIn,. Worst case scenario, send a 'permission pass' email where you simply gauge interest and let them know you won't be emailing them again if there's no interest. Keep it very short, non-commercial with just solid information/links to web, and an easy to reply yes/no answer.BI
