So you've bought your mailing list, removed the people you already have as clients, checked your creative for typos and spelling errors and sent the email out. Apart from dealing with all your enquiries, setting your appointments and processing your orders, what should you do next?
It probably isn't your favourite job but remember to keep a record of your results. How many orders did the mailing generate, how many appointments, enquiries, phone calls? Listen to your prospects when you speak to them. Did they understand the mailing and did they know how to respond? Were they the right people to mail or did they pass your mailer up the corporate ladder, sideways to another department or down to a subordinate? Next time you come to buy a mailing list, having a note of the industry sectors and job titles of the people who responded, can guide your purchase so that you buy the best data possible.
Remember that re-mailing the same list can work really well, as long as you are careful to remove the people who have already responded. Try a new subject header or tweak the copy based on what you've learned from your conversations with responders. Electric Marketing does not charge you for re-mailing a list, so get your budget's worth and send a second email. Or follow up with a phone call or look the person up on social media and make contact. You could even send a letter. In a world of many forms of communication, everyone has their favourite way of interacting with companies.
And remember that Electric Marketing offers three updated versions of your mailing list for just 10% of the price so that you can continue to use your mailing list for 12 months. This service can be ordered at the time of purchase and will keep you within the GDPR guidelines for using data which is current and up-to-date.
