Tips in Building Your Subscriber List
Rosanne Lim
Subscriber lists can help in any online marketing campaigns because you can send promotional materials direct to your target audience’s mailbox. You don’t need to worry about the technical aspects of putting the subscription form in your website either because e-mail management service providers will provide the necessary HTML for this. So you just need to focus on its marketing aspect.
Aside from search engine optimization which will enable visitors to find your site, you also need to focus on promoting your subscription form on your website itself? But how will you do this? Well, simple marketing tactics such as putting the subscription form where readers can see it will surely help. Most of the successful placements I observed had the subscription form placed at the upper right corner of their home page.
On the other hand, giving free stuff for subscription always works. Because the internet is all about information, you can use information as your leverage. For example, in order to get access to a free e-book or whitepaper, the reader must first subscribe to your newsletter. This has been proven to be effective time and again and in fact, I have been “forced” to subscribe to several newsletters myself because of this.
You can also explore offline methods such as joining conventions and exhibits. This will definitely give you a competitive edge because people generally trust blogs and websites that they have personally encountered offline as well.
