So How Do We Go About Building Our Email List?

Direct Mail

Add email sign-up in all of your flyers, order forms, and directory posts. Always send an email to new subscribers as soon as you can in order to keep your product or service fresh in their minds.

Create Fresh Content

Generate more email subscriptions by posting new blogs regularly. Offer your readers the option to sign up with their email for an upgraded online material.

Invite People to Join Your Mailing List or Receive Your Newsletter

Give your online visitors the opportunity to sign-up. This strategy is simple and effective. Make your website’s email sign-up page easy to find by placing a pop-up form or a visible banner on the header or footer area. Make sure you include details of how signing up can benefit each customer.

Whitepaper

Develop Whitepapers on subjects of interest to your potential clients, and a sign-up form to download it.

Collect Email Addresses During Events

Attending and hosting events is one of the best opportunities to grow your email list. Asking people to sign-up on your business’s email list is an easy way to maintain your relationship with them following the event.

Business Cards

Use every opportunity to collect and exchange business cards when meeting people. Position a glass bowl on your store counter or reception desk and offer incentives of a raffle or a gift for dropping a card in the bowl.

Snailmail

At times you have names and physical addresses but not email. Send a direct-mail (postcard) with a special offer that can be taking advantage of by going to your website and signing up.

Telemarketing

You can organize or hire a call campaign to acquire and update email contacts or ask the customers that you get to speak to during the day for their email contacts. Give them a brief statement of the benefits of enrolling — for example, exclusive offers and discounts only available to email subscribers.

Purchase Email Lists

Purchase and acquire email contacts of potential customers that have signed up/opted for information on products or services you offer.

Network for Emails

Join your local Chamber of Commerce or another business networking group and exchange emails with members.

Ask for Your Wifi Guests’ Email Address

If you run a retail business set up a guest wifi network that requires email registration. This will allow your customers to access your office’s or store’s free wifi in exchange for their email address.
