Email Marketing: 500% Boost in sales. Here’s how.
March 13th, 2008 by Mike W. Read more about Email Marketing, Make MoneyThe headline might have been a little sneaky because you already know how.
We used our trusty appetizer-main dish method of email marketing, which I gave the theory on here and further how-to here.
The method was for one of our personal development sites and revolved around Spring cleaning (this was our “reason why”).
We provided them a free ebook that would help them Spring clean their life instead of just Spring cleaning their house, and the book acted as a link to our product.
Here’s how the schedule looked:
Day 1 - appetizer email
Day 3 - ebook (”gift”) delivered, promotion started
Day 5 - reminder of promotion deadline
Day 7 - promotion ended
You can refer to those linked posts for the full rundown, but we refined the method further and over this 4 day period we saw a 500% boost in sales. To put it in perspective, we did 2 WEEKS worth of sales in just 3 days. It took just a few hours of work.
The only thing I would have changed is that we should have sent reminders on Day 6 and 7. We probably could have put that boost up to 600 or 700% with those additional emails, but alas, vacation called and no one wants to blast emails from the beach.
