There’s one thing about an autoresponder service—relationship. Getting the contact information of your visitors, like email addresses and their names is one of the most important things you can do to establish a thriving website. Whether your site is for a non-profit organization that is trying to keep members informed and motivated, or or a business selling solutions to people’s needs online, having the name and email address of an interested party is crucial.
A good email autoresponder service will do more than make it easy to get someone’s contact information, it will make easier to constantly get in touch with your visitors. If we relied on people bookmarking our sites and returning when they had time, we would have very few return visitors. Instead, if we stayed in touch with them, informed them regularly on the matter why they visit the site in the first place, we establish relationship with them.
The power of an autoresponder service is that once you write your emails, upload them with just a click, they work on auto-pilot for each individual. Whether someone signs-up for your mailing list today or next month, they receive the same welcome email from you instantaneously. Then, 24 hours later (or whatever time-frame you tell the autoresponder), it sends the second email, and another mail will be sent to them after four days. The autoresponder does this automatically, even if you’re out of town, sleeping, or doing another thing. It even inserts their first name into the salutation and body of the email.
You don’t need using the delayed feature, though. You can type up an email, personalize it by inserting each person’s first name into the headline, and clicking “Send” like you would in your favorite email program. Instantly it will be sent to everyone in your list. A good autoresponder service can even tell you how many people have accessed the email you have sent!
There are many autoresponder services available on the World Wide Web, but I think Aweber has the most number of features and, by far, the easiest to configure. It’s about building relationships, and autoresponder services can help take them deeper.
