5 Ways to Build Your List Kim Stiglitz
Retention & Conversion Marketing Manager
Getting Started with Your List Start at square one – assess
where you are.
What are your goals – to grow your list, get more engaged subscribers, expand your reach?
Think about what existing resources you have and what news ones you can add. "34% more sales are generated by
customers subscribed to newsletters.” – emailstatcenter.com
Build It & They Will Come Productive email lists are
grown over time. Your list building is an on-going process
You can lose up to 1/3 of your list each year, so you must keep adding subscribers
28% of email addresses become unreachable on average, within a 12-month period. It is crucial to compensate for list churn and substantially grow your email lists.
- MRSS/Advocacy Institute ENonprofit Benchmarks Study (2005)
Idea #1 – Use What Youʼve Got • Friends First – Send friends,
colleagues and customers a message asking them to sign up
• Go Fishing – Collect Email Addresses in a fishbowl at POS or events – you can also ask if they want their receipt emailed to them
• Itʼs in the Cards – Offer on back of your business cards
Idea #2 – Get Permission Use sign-ups forms on your
website and blog – Give many opportunities to sign up
Use a pop up window – when someone leaves your site to collect their email address
Idea #3 – Get Social Facebook – Use a FB Fan
page sign up form, send a regular email asking fans/friends to join your list
Twitter – Tweet to your followers to join your list
Forward to a Friend –Include a link in all your emails
Idea #4 – Letʼs Make a Deal Extend special offers &
discounts to anyone that signs up
• Birthday Clubs
• Free Guides
• Free Shipping
• % off
Idea #5 – Put It In the Mail Use Postcards to collect email
addresses for customers that you don t̓ have an address for.
• 10% off Postcards
• You can buy a list of a geographic area, etc. to send to
