Are You Using The Right Autoresponder?
A good autoresponder is one of the best things you can have for your business. Not only can you automate much of your marketing, they can help keep your audience as engaged as possible.
But there are so many to choose from, and they all have different strengths and weaknesses.
Here are 6 things to keep in mind and look for when selecting the company that’s right for you…
Reputation: This is the first thing to look for. Get online. Check out the reviews, the top-10 lists, the forums. See what others have to say about the autoresponders.
Integration: It’s important the autoresponder can integrate with a variety of other services and other platforms. Things like…
Third-party solutions (lead generation and sales funnel services)
Website buttons
WordPress integration
Web forms
Shopping carts
Usability: The autoresponder MUST be user-friendly. If you can’t figure out how to use it, it won’t be very good for YOU.
The whole point of using an autoresponder is to save time, not waste it trying to figure out how something works. Drag and drop features go a long way to improving usability.
Deliverability: The last thing any email marketer wants is their emails ending up in the spam folder. Or worse, having emails declared undeliverable.
The autoresponder must have enough credibility and the required technology to keep emails out of the spam folder and ensure they are delivered.
Make sure the autoresponder service guarantees at least a 99% deliverability rate. It helps if the autoresponder makes it possible to offer subscribers a double opt-in.
Scalability: Every email marketer hopes their business will grow. That’s the point, right?
And the autoresponder needs to be able to scale along with the growth of that business. The best autoresponders have scaling plans that allow upgrades according to list size.
List size: Speaking of growth and scalability, not all autoresponders are good for all list sizes.
Some are better for bigger lists and some are better for smaller lists. Choose the one that works best for you.
There are all types of additional tools the service may provide, but the 6 items listed above are the most important when you’re starting out.
Once you begin automating emails and improving your techniques, you can see a dramatic impact on your business!
