Email Marketing Tips Email marketing can be a great way to quickly and effectively get your information out to your customers and prospects. If done correctly, email marketing can help you significantly improve your profitability. Here are some tips:
1. Get email addresses. It is, of course, impossible to email market without getting your clients’ and prospects’ email addresses. When a prospect contacts you, offer to email them your brochure, then mail them one too if you want to. When a customer books a sessions, ask for an email address to send them a reminder before their session.
Hint: Use StudioPlus’ Data Entry Validation feature to prompt your employees to enter an email address every time. Go to Maintenance – List Maintenance – Data Entry Validation.
2. Have a clear call-to-action. After receiving your email, what do you want your customers to do? Read more about an offer online? Call to reorder prints from their last session? Book a spring special? Make your call-to-action clear, direct, and don’t muddle up your message with lots of other links or information. Provide more details on your website or over the phone.
3. Regularly communicate via email. Get your customers used to receiving emails from you. Send our session reminder emails, order pickup emails, and order thank you emails so that you customers see your emails and open them. Then when you go to send out a marketing email, your customers will open and read them, rather than discard them.
Hint: Use StudioPlus’ Status Trigger feature to send out these automatic emails. Read more about Triggers.
4. Target your emails to create repeat customers. Email all your wedding clients in 1 year to shoot their anniversary. Email your senior clients’ families to shoot a family portrait before their “baby” goes off to college. Send out birthday emails. The key to targeting your emails is getting the data.
Hint: Use StudioPlus to book your weddings and seniors, record anniversary and birthdays, and then you’ll have the data you need. Watch this StudioPlus Marketing Database Overview for more ideas. Watch now
