Is email marketing dead? The short answer...Hell no! In fact, depending who you ask, it is likely one of the most effective, low cost forms of marketing available. Don't believe me? Ok, let's go on a journey real quick.
How much does it cost to run a Facebook Ad? Well, that's determined by a lot of factors.
What industry you're in. Yes, the industry will determine what you spend to get a lead on Facebook or IG. If you're competing against bigger companies with an endless bucket of marketing money, then you can expect that you're going to spend more to get a few leads.
Your ad content itself. Image vs video comes to mind here. Typically video performs better than an image right? Yes, of course it does, but then there is the cost of making the video. Time, money, etc.
Your ad copy. With the introduction of AI into the world this seems to get a little easier than it used to be, however some sites have started penalizing ads and content that is clearly written by an AI and rewarding the ones that are not. So do you hire a copywriter? Do you write the copy yourself?
Of course there is a lot more that goes into an ad, but you get the point. Don't you? Building your email list takes time, but keeping your subscribers takes talent and attention to details.
Learning to provide more value than what your asking from your list is going to be a big part of how successful your email marketing campaigns are. If your subscribers don't trust you, they won't open your emails, and if they don't open them then they can't click on any links to buy your stuff. It's an art form and learning to master it is like learning the ways of the force and only a few chosen ones can pick it up.
You can be one of those chosen ones if you make it a point to learn from some of the people doing it well. Below you find some BASIC information on how you can improve your open rates, click through rates, response rates, and purchase rates. This is only a basic list and should give you a basic understanding of some of the key components.
Segmentation: With email marketing, you can segment your potential clients based on their preferences, past purchases, and interactions. This allows you to personalize your marketing efforts, making your high-ticket prospects feel understood and valued.
Personalization: High-ticket clients often expect more personal and tailored services. Email marketing allows you to personalize messages, adding a touch of exclusivity and making your service or product more attractive to these clients.
Nurturing Relationships: High-ticket clients are usually not impulsive buyers. They take time to make decisions, so building a relationship is key. Regular emails that provide value, educate, and nurture these relationships can help move these high-ticket prospects through the sales funnel.
Value Demonstration: You can use email marketing to regularly showcase the premium value of your products or services. Case studies, testimonials, and detailed product information can convince high-ticket clients of the value and return on investment your business provides.
Exclusivity and VIP Treatment: High-ticket clients appreciate exclusivity. You can use email marketing to offer early access, special deals, or premium content just for them, making your high-ticket products or services feel more exclusive and desirable.
Retention: Once you have acquired high-ticket clients, email marketing can be a powerful tool for client retention. Regular check-ins, updates, and tailored content can keep these clients engaged with your business and more likely to make repeat purchases.
Trackable: Email marketing provides trackable metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and conversions, which can help your business refine your strategy and better target high-ticket clients.
Remember, attracting clients via email marketing is not about sending mass emails or overly promotional content. It's about building relationships, demonstrating value, and making your clients feel exclusive and well taken care of.
