Why A DIY Targeted Email Campaign Is Better
A targeted email campaign works wonders. Certainly, it could be hard to imagine that anybody still opens up e-mail solicitations nowadays , there is however a reason why companies continue to pay thousands upon thousands of dollars for bulk e-mail services! That reason in fact is that it works. A targeted email campaign can get your message to the very individuals who would most likely be receptive to it, to the services and products you have to offer. Being targeted, it’s not spam and unlikely to be handled as such. You can remain in their good graces – as well as those of your ISP or bulk emailing handler! – even if no sale is made (this time around!). And of course, one doesn’t have to spend thousands and thousands of dollars on a regular basis, either.
It is possible to conduct your very own targeted email campaign from start to finish. But that would require a lot of technical knowledge and also the right technological setup – after all, you would be contacting tens if not hundreds of thousands of people! Spending that big sum of money would mean that such clerical types of hassles are handled entirely to suit your needs, saving you time (rather than time and money!). As for the DIYer inside you, there’s nothing quite like the satisfaction of preparing your own directory of contacts.
Really, the single most valuable aspect of a targeted email campaign will be the quality of those e-mail contacts. Are you actually reaching your intended audience? Most bulk-mail services won’t divulge the e-mail addresses for self-evident reasons, but exactly how do you know then whether you are even reaching the right people or the right kinds of companies?
You really don’t. Thus the satisfaction of compiling your own list using software called e-mail harvesters which scour the internet and gather e-mail addresses for you – but you will have to clean the resulting list by yourself for redundancies and the like!
