Happy Tuesday!
It is absolutely frigid here in Central Ontario. Yesterday we got dumped on with snow, and today the temperature has dropped into the -30C range. I won’t be going anywhere at all today for sure. I’m just going to stay wrapped up in my blanket sweater and drink coffee all day. And hopefully get some work done.
So, I have some bad news, or good news depending on your point of view…
The Low Content Bundle Sale is Postponed Until April
Yesterday I made the difficult decision to postpone the Low Content Bundle Sale until April 4-10. I’ve been dealing with some health issues and other stuff here, and while I’ve always been able to power through and get things done before it’s not working so well this time. So I’m being kind to myself and putting in on the back burner for a couple of months.
I feel good about the decision, and I know it’s the right one. I even had a few customers thank me for putting it off because they were feeling “bundled out” and not ready for another sale just yet.
Sales Extended
On another note, my most recent two deals have been extended through January 15 by popular demand.
Affirmations Coloring Pages – only $17 with coupon code AFFIRM17
30-Day Undated Self-Care Planner – only $17 with coupon code BUBBLE10
Today’s Read: The Power of Email Marketing Funnels
I’m assuming that you know what an email marketing funnel is, but just in case you need a refresher, here’s a quick definition. An email marketing funnel is a series of emails that inspire your audience to take a pre-determined action – to buy something, to sign up for a webinar, to visit your social media platforms, or any other action that leads them to become a loyal customer of your business.
Most email funnels start with an opt-in that gets your audience’s attention and trust in exchange for their email address. Once you have permission to email them, you can start the funnel sequence of well-timed and relevant messages. The purpose of your initial emails should be to provide information that builds the relationship and helps them to get to know, like, and trust you.
Your funnel can be as long or as short as you like, but a good email funnel never truly ends because you should always be adding new messages or leading your customers into new sequences depending on the actions they take, or the interests they prefer.
And, if you do it right, your email funnel should be the most powerful tool you have in your marketing toobox.
Here are three reasons why email marketing funnels are so powerful:
Reason #1 – They Solve a Problem
Your audience reads your email because you provide some value for them. You solve a problem in the form of entertainment, education, comedy, or more. It all depends on your niche and why you are starting an email marketing campaign in the first place.
Reason #2 – They Are Personal
While you may be sending the same email to many readers, that is not how they see it. It goes directly into their personal email, and frequently they are reading it alone. If you do it correctly, you are really only writing to one person, and not the group in general. Making your readers feel special, important, and connected with your brand is a huge part of email marketing success. This allows you to provide even more value and then more easily convert them into paying customers.
Reason #3 – They Create Brand Awareness, Trust, and Credibility
Emails are also great way to provide your audience education and resources, further increasing your brand awareness, trust, and credibility. The more you communicate to your audience, the more they get to know you and trust your authority, especially through quality content that solves a problem.
It all comes back to building relationships with your readers and customers. It’s the one way you can connect with your audience that doesn’t require you to jump through someone else’s hoops (as in social media platforms) and lets you get as up close and personal as you want through your messages. By putting your funnels and sequences together in a way that provides information, entertainment, and a glimpse into your own world you build the know, like, and trust factor that your audience needs to become lifelong customers of you and your products.
