Hi Triggered Email Marketing: Give it a Shot!!!

Triggered EMAIL MARKETING is underutilized by email marketers around the world, much to the detriment of their businesses, cash flow and even their customers! The proper usage of triggered email marketing does not result in clogging a customer’s inbox full of irrelevant questions, statements and information – that’s what Facebook is for.

Read on to find out the stats behind the claims and how you can use triggered EMAIL MARKETING to improve your results today!

Why and How Does Triggered Email Marketing Work?

Triggered email is sent when a customer performs a pre-determined action with your company (orders a product, sends an email, browses a product). 

We've all encountered them at one stage or another – whether it’s a confirmation email or a forgotten password email. That’s why it’s such a great idea to use them for your MARKETING efforts!

The correct use of Triggered EMAIL MARKETING allows email marketers to get creative.

Think about it, if the recipient is expecting the email because of an action they initiated themselves, you’re not only emailing an INVESTED party, but you also have a vital piece of information on the party you’re emailing – their interest in a specific product, service or action.

Real-time triggered emails sent via an auto responder perform well because they are immediately relevant and the customer expects them. Usual promotional email is unexpected and often not relevant to the consumer’s current state of mind.

• Welcome Emails – sent when a new customer joins your subscriber list.
• On-boarding Emails – a series of emails that are sent to a new subscriber giving tips and hints on what to do next.

With advanced auto responder tools, however, you can set email to be triggered on a wide variety of actions allowing you to create your own type of trigger EMAIL MARKETING strategy!

If done correctly and intelligently, a triggered email is a targeted, free (you should send it anyway) promotional email that is highly personalized and likely to be opened by the recipient.

When it comes to Triggered Email Marketing, your creativity is the limit to your aspirations.

!!!GOOD-LUCK!!!
