Why Do I Need Opt-in Subscribers?
 by: Shayne Genoway © Copyright 2007


There is a better than average chance your customers will become repeat purchasers once they see that you provide quality products, outstanding service, and go the extra mile for them in a professional, courteous manner.

Not only will they return as customers to buy again, but they will even recommend you to friends and acquaintances who will gladly check you out based on their recommendation alone.

This is a win-win situation for your website.

Before the increase in traffic starts to build as a result of the fantastic service that will grow your business, insure your subscriber tools are in proper working order to successfully build a strong opt-in subscribers list.

Opt-in subscribers are website visitors who have agreed to receive your promotional materials whether it is a newsletter, catalogs, or simple product updates.

To become part of your mailing list they have agreed to give you their name and email address in order to receive your material, usually in exchange for a free gift you had offered.

These promotional materials are sent by email to your opt-in members only, on a regular weekly, monthly, or more frequent basis.

The bonus when using email for promotional material are the low costs of delivery. Except for your time and effort in the preparation of the email, there virtually are no costs.

You can't get much lower than that.

Email is free and if you are able to professionally prepare your own promotional materials, your savings will be that much greater.

Opt-in subscriber lists pretty much became law when it was decided a method was needed to stop those pesky unwanted spammers filling our email boxes everyday.

Asking potential subscribers to indicate they agree to receive your material not only protects you from being labeled a spammer, but it gives the subscriber a certain satisfaction the email they receive is a result of their own choosing.

Another more important benefit to having an opt-in list, is that you can pretty much be assured that whoever requests your material is less likely to delete anything you send, without first reading it.

Of course, by agreeing to receive your regular emails, these same subscribers also have the right to unsubscribe from your mailing list when they feel like it. This should be a simple and easy process they can enact at a moments notice, without worry of recourse or problems of any kind.

I am always amazed at the little games some operators still insist on playing to make "unsubscribing" deliberately confusing and difficult, all in an effort to maintain their lists.

My only advice when this happens to you - beware. This obviously is not someone you want to deal with.

If you, as a webmaster want to avoid the "unsubscriber" on your email list, then strive to make your material interesting, relevant, and always up-to-date. Keep them excited about receiving your weekly email, and above all else be on time and keep sales pitches subtle, not in-their-face.

Your customers will grow to appreciate this style of email marketing. When they see you work at being fair, honest, and consistent with them, they will reward you with steady sales.

No insulting cheapies, please, when building your opt-in list and never, ever, give away free out-dated material used by webmasters years ago.

People know when they are being conned, and offering a free ebook they have seen ten times before on other websites shoots holes in your credibility.

Quality freebies, only, if you wish to impress your readers and keep them.

Building an opt-in list is one of the most important functions any webmaster can undertake. Take your time, put some thought into it, and good luck.
