Opt Out Mailing List
This is an important marketing tool. As an Affiliate Advertiser, you will receive newsletters from your Affiliate Merchants. You can forward this to customers. If you are forwarding newsletters from your Affiliate Merchants, you need a list of customers to forward them to. So how can you build a Opt Out Mailing List? One place to start is to have a "Mail To" link on every merchant's page. Offer discount and sale previews. You should also have your own newsletter. Two of the most important things on you newsletter are; why the person received it, and a working Opt Out link. I get lots of SPAM from people that got my name off some list. ANYTHING from a third party is reported as SPAM. A simple sentence that states, "You are receiving this because you signed up for it at this store," can not be misconstrued as bulk spamming. If you are forwarding a store's newsletter, you may want to use the stores name in the subject box. "Requested Hickory Farms Coupons," would be an example of a way for your guest to recognize the e-mail as something they had asked for. They probably will remember that they were at that store last month. The second item, an Opt Out Link, is a legal must. You, by law, have to allow people to unsubscribe to your e-mailing list. If this Opt Out or Remove Me link is not functioning properly, you will be reported for spamming. E-mail addresses that bounce back replies, links to home pages and not to unsubscribe pages, these are perceived as intentional. Most people are so fed up with dirty tricks from unscrupulous e-marketers, that they assume that most any e-mail they receive is spam. With out a reason stating why the person received it, your e-mail will be perceived as SPAM. With out a working Opt Out link, your e-mail will be SPAM, and it will be reported as such. |
Pop Unders
Pop Unders are becoming more popular. Less intrusive than Pop Ups, which interrupt the surfer's searches, Pop Unders appear beneath the window that the surfer has opened. It waits quitely in the background until your guests have finished the page they are on, before offering more information. The last thing you want is to be annoying to people that you hope will return. The ratio of hit to these windows is very small, but since they cost you such a small amount of time, any success is good. |
