How Do You Get Shoppers To Sign Up For Your Mailing List?

Let's say you have an amazing conversion rate. Let's pretend you have a 5% conversion rate. This means that 1 out of 20 customers that come to your website buy something. What happens to the other 19?

If you had a retail store... you could talk to the customer, answer questions, and let them know how friendly you are. You use that communication to encourage them to come back to your store and purchase something.

So how do you do that with your online store?

Easy - Mailing Lists!

Email marketing is a simple and easy way to communicate with your customers... including the ones that haven't purchased from you yet. But how do you get them to sign up?

Ron Pereira from Top Right will be teaching us that little trick today on our radio show Ecom Experts at 6:00 PM ET.

Ron and I will be discussing:

1. Abandonment rates

2. Techniques to convert shoppers

3. What I think is the most under-utilized conversion tactic out there? Email!

4. Why email is an important weapon in the conversion process?

5. Is it more important for some stores than others?

6. What are “the basics” of getting someone to sign up to your list?

7. Where does the email go after the shopper hits the “submit” button?

8. Where do you put the sign up form?

9. What do you say on the sign up form to get them to give you the email address?

10. What information do you gather?

11. What do you do once you get the email address?

Lots of great information!

So make sure to join Ron and I on Ecom Experts. You can listen, chat, ask questions, and best of all... LEARN!

Just go to http://www2.webmasterradio.fm/chat/ at 6:00 PM ET.

I look forward to seeing you there.
