Positive communication is required if you want to promote your product to your mailing list subscribers. Email marketing is not as simple as sending promotional emails to your subscribers and expects them to buy your product. Before you can do this effectively, you need to be able to communicate positively with your subscribers. You have to win their heart first before expecting them to buy your product. Here are 7 ways to communicate positively with your mailing list subscribers:
1. Build Friendship with your Subscribers
First of all, you need to make your subscribers to become your friends. You need to build friendship with them. For this purpose, you need to be friendly with them. Do not be a sales person. Instead, be a good friend for your subscribers. Talk with them casually like you’re talking to your friend, although you’re actually in a business relationship with your subscribers. This is the first foundation that you need to establish in order to win their heart. Once they’re familiar enough with you, they will usually trust you more.
2. Promote Product without Affiliate Link
You have to do this occasionally. This is to prove to your subscribers that you regard them as valuable asset for you. You want to make more than business relationship with them. When you promote product without affiliate link embedded, your subscribers will become more confident in following your suggestion. They will see your recommendation as “no catch” recommendation. Of course, you don’t need to do this every time you promote your product.
3. Talk with your Subscribers Personally
Personal communication is very important for your subscribers to establish trust toward you. Usually, smart email marketers will tell their subscribers to ask any question to them. You can do the same strategy. For instance, if your mailing list is about weight loss, you can ask your subscribers whether they have any difficulty in losing their weight or whether they have any obstacles that prevent them from attaining an ideal body. Then, once the questions start coming, you need to answer those questions one by one. In this way, you establish personal communication with your subscribers.
4. Help your Subscribers
Of course, the purpose of your mailing list is to help your subscribers. Helping your subscribers should be your first priority because it is the key of your success. If you don’t help them, they will seek help in another place. That’s because if you only pursue money, you will have difficulty in helping your subscribers sincerely. As a result, they will have lack of trust toward you. Your recommendations will become dull and ineffective.
5. Hold a Webinar Regularly
Webinar becomes a more popular means for email marketers to communicate with their subscribers. Webinar will help you to make direct communication with your subscribers, which will significantly increase your reputation.
