TECHNIQUES:
1. E-mail Marketing (Mailing lists)
Discussion Groups These discussion forms are sent via e-mail. Each comment sent by a member of the group is sent to all other members. These groups have very good potential for building learning and communication forms in closed communities (B2B - communication). Representatives of the company as well as advanced users share information with customers in a free or tight form. Groups build loyalty in consumers and provide a significant degree of customer support. This is one of the sections to increase customer trust.
Newsletters Typically, these are lists, where anyone can write freely, but only administrators (moderators) may send letters to people on the list. These are public lists.There are also private newsletters (closed) in which entries are controlled by the moderator. As a differentiated service or addition to the development of the discussion group, companies use mailing lists to send newsletters.
These newsletters:
- Inform members of the site by means of periodic newsletters (on topics for which they have subscribed in advance)
- Remind of the old visitors (who have entered previously) with brief information about new products and opportunities on the site.
- Create credit of trust in members of the site that may lead to the eventual conclusion of contracts with positive sales or real transactions.
- Encourage paid subscriptions to newsletters, enriched with specialized information which is not available elsewhere
- Are often encouraged by sponsors.
2. Auto responders or autobots These types of programs are automatically sent a notice by e-mail when they receive e-mail message from the visitor. More intelligent autobots send different messages depending on the word you have posted in the Subject field. The auto responder Internet service is usually paid, but along with paid and free forms, there are also free forms of bots.
3. Tell a friend This is an appropriate form, which enables its visitors to easily share information. For example, in the pages containing information on the latest products, you can place the field ‘Enter E-mail address’ and the button "Tell a Friend", which when pressed causes sending of short text via e-mail. A variety of this form is ‘Send to a friend’ where you can send via e-mail the contents of the entire page. This method is good for sites with dynamically generated pages (from a database), for example, reservation systems or online stores.
4. Spam The advantages of email, among which are the low cost and virtually unlimited audience, every day tempt many organizations to tout their messages to people who in no way indicated their willingness to receive such messages. Messages distributed so in this way are called spam. Most commonly spam is spread via e-mail, but there are rare cases in which other Internet services are used such as Usenet, and ICQ, Odigo, Yahoo or Hotmail messenger. Sending spam in many countries is considered a criminal offense and is prosecuted by authorities.
