Top Five List Building Tips

Okay so you understand that list building can be the life blood of every business be it an online business or an offline business. It really does not matter what business you are in. You need to build up a list of clients emails and most importantly you need to build up a list of potential clients email addresses. The internet is now so dominant that you need to do this regardless of what your business is - It really does not matter if you are selling combine harvesters or clothes online. You need to build a list, starting today.

Right so you need or want to capture every prospect that walks into your store or restaurant do you not? Along with every person that visits your website even if they buy nothing, trust me you want to capture that potential customers email. If it is a clothes shop you are running, get people to sign up to get the latest catalogue emailed to them (Heck, for every one you send a e-catalogue to, you have saved money on a printed one!), if it is an online shop offer a free prize draw of an item that your customer would value but costs you peanuts. Just make sure you capture that email!

Well as this article was entitled 'Top five list building tips' I will go straight in. Here they are: -

1.) If you run a "Physical" business such as shop or restaurant, a garage, a real estate agent, whatever as long as it is an Offline (you may have an online business as well) business then you really must capture as many potential customers emails as possible - In fact the more potential customers you capture the better.

2.) Do this by offering a free catalogue, a prize draw for a dinner for two per month, or a bottle of Champagne once per quarter - ideally make it something that is cheap to you but of value to the customer. e.g. the free Champagne is free provided you buy two main meals. This of particularly good for restaurants where the busier you appear the more people will come in!

3.) If you run an online business or an offline business with an online side to it as well then please make sure you have an email capture box on every page (The top right is the best place).

4.) If you run an online business join a forum relevant to your business and make regular and relevant posts, just making sure that you have a link to your email sign up page (often known as a squeeze page) in your forums signature. This is one of the best free ways of gaining email subscribers, but you need something such as free report to give away in order to get people to sign up.

5.) For an offline business if people are in a hurry they may not want to fill out their details due to time pressures, so have a bowl that they can put their business cards in. Also if you run a cafe/bar/restaurant and give people a card to fill in with their details make sure you give them a pen/pencil to do so. I think 90% of the places I see people handing out customer cards to fill in do not give them a pen! Hence an email capture is lost.
