Atricle Dump - Online Business - Email Marketing Tactics (Part 1 of 3) Writing Headlines That Grab Your Customers
Offering coupons are a common and easy way to attract new or old clients to your salon, day spa or medical spa. But what kind of client are you really attracting? And are you profitably providing that service once the coupon is redeemed?Your ideal client is not a coupon-cutter. While everyone loves a great deal, those that ONLY come to your spa or salon because of your promotional coupon are not likely to come around the second time. Sure, you tell yourself that you provide an outstanding service and if they like you, they'll come back. And that is logical thinking -- but it is a tad flawed. And doesn't often come true, sadly. If you are retaining more than 10% the clients that first see you with a coupon, you are way ahead of the rest of us. [To calculate this percentage, divide then number of clients who came back a second time to pay full-price by the total number of clients who used that coupon.]

We recently completed a Merger and Acquisition engagement to sell our client to a large publicly traded company. Our client had started her company 25 years ago and had set it up a C Corp. She never was advised to change that structure in preparation for a much better tax treatment on the sale of the business.The buyer had an acquisition policy of only asset sales and no stock sales. The tax implications to our client were punishing. In a C Corp Asset Sale, there is no such thing as a long-term capital gain for the corporation. Since our client's basis (a software and consulting firm) was essentially $0, the entire sale amount would have been treated as ordinary income and would have been taxed at a rate of about 30%. Once taxes are paid by the corporation and a distribution is made to the stockholders, the stockholders are then taxed at the 15% individual long-term capital gains rate.Let's say that the purcha
The No Nonsense Headline
The first type of headline you can use is the simplest. No frills, no tricks, no hooks, just a straightforward description of the contents of your message. You could produce something like:
Tips To Save Money On Your Weekly Shopping
The Best Way To Choose Your Next Car
Real Estate Agents That Shift Property Fast!
Notice that you can still use explanations and hard-hitting adjectives to get your point across, but these headlines do little more than tell the reader what to expect.
The advantages of these headlines is that they’re easy to write and easy to read. You don’t have to try to come up with some hard-hitting sales message and customers aren’t put off by a document that looks a piece of promotional material. On the other hand, they’re a bit weak and that makes them hard to turn into cash.

There are many oh so many different ways to market a product or a service. Among these varied techniques, there are many good ways to generate sales and customers. But as many are the good methods, marketing also has its fair share of turkeys. Cold calling is one of the techniques in marketing that is subject to scrutiny in many ways. Marketers and other organizations are beginning to doubt the efficacy of cold calling.Cold calling is also called blind calling. The marketer in this case calls up or contacts a ‘random’ person who might, if the marketer is lucky, want the product or service want to buy into what the marketer is offering. Cold calling is pretty much like blind guessing who your next customer will be. The caller then does his pitch talk to this person even if he or she has not been referred to by anyone.This method of marketing has also been used by honest marketers and has also resulted in

A call to customer service can be an infuriating ending to a frustrating experience. You’re upset and looking for empathy, but all you encounter is disappointment. Could Company X have done something differently? Probably, but if you follow these tips when dealing with customer service, you’ll be in the driver’s seat for the next dispute.1. Be prepared.Seems basic, right? Unless you’ve called Company X several times, you’re probably not familiar with their required information. Have every tracking number, account number, itemized statement, and order number before you call. Customer service representatives are held responsible for torturous call-handling metrics designed by masochistic management. Length of call, resolution (if the customer calls back to the company within an allocated amount of time), and randomly monitored calls are measured stringently. Bottom line: they want to help you quickly and

Today’s business environment is intrinsically tied together by ongoing information exchanges between two people. This personal communication is most often facilitated by the spoken word. Understanding this information, as it flows within a dialogue between two people is fundamental to improving one’s selling effectiveness.One of the most significant business information exchanges is between a company’s front line sales representatives and either it’s existing or potential customers. Information processed between these parties will have a significant affect on many other employees within both party’s respective companies as purchase commitments are made.Maximizing the effectiveness of aural business communication between sales personnel and customers hinges on two fundamental communication process components, talking and listening. It makes sense that no matter how well you articulate a message to

Does your organization have a clear purpose? Do the people you serve see you as important to their business or to their lives? Does every customer and every employee clearly understand your purpose? The purpose of an organization is clarified in the mission, vision, and operating principles. I call this grouping the core message of an organization. If this core message isn't clarified and deeply embedded, then it is likely people in your organization are operating on their own. This is a recipe for conflict, confusion, and chaos.Most organizations have a mission. Do all of your employees and customers know your mission? Do your employees live it? Do they see it being carried out in daily decision making, work processes, and communications? Your mission is about what you do and who you do it for. This means that every decision, every work process, and every interaction is consciously aimed at providing valuable servi

The Question Headline
Question headlines work by asking customers a question that plays on their worries and promises a solution further on. These are great devices when you really want to grab a customer and ram your message home.

To write these headlines, think first of what problem your product is actually going to solve. (If it’s not going to solve a problem, then you’re going to have a problem selling it!) In the first half of the headline, you ask your customers if they’re suffering from the problem. Just by asking, you’re suggesting that they do. In the second half of the headline, you tell them that you have the solution. Dead easy and dead effective.
