p.338, “How to Sell Wine”, B. McGechan, 2011
Double Opt-In

Opt-In Form
Confirmation Email
Confirmation
with an offer
Use an Email Service
• Double Opt-In
• Automates Unsubscribe
• Keeps ISP happy (e.g. Yahoo Xtra)
• Helps abide by SPAM laws e.g. physical address
• MS Outlook is fine <200 subscribers but all of the above...
116
Email Services: e.g. mailchimp, aweber, iContact, Vertical Response, Constant Contact
Note on Open Rates
• Mail services embed a tiny transparent image
• If image is downloaded then email is regarded as opened
• But most email programs have image blocking
• By tracking links you can also track Opens
• You don’t send image only emails do you:
117
?
Always personalize your emails – both ways
• Should start with Dear (or Hi, Hey, Howdy) First-Name
• People are much more likely to respond to real people not computers
• From field should be [email protected]
• not [email protected]
118
Content is King
There are two types of emails:
• Information 90%
• Promotional 10%

A breakfast cafe wants to reach people nearby searching for "coffee" or "breakfast" on a smartphone. Using bid
adjustments, with three simple entries, they can bid 25% higher for people searching a half-mile away, 20% lower for
searches after 11am, and 50% higher for searches on smartphones. These bid adjustments can apply to all ads and
all keywords in one single campaign.http://adwords.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/enhanced%20campaigns
