Why Should You Build a List for Marketing
by David Brown
In this series of articles I am going to talk about list building and why should you build a list for marketing. In particularly, why you need to think strategically.
Why Use a List
The most important thing to remember about List building is you are capturing leads and have therefore gained multiple repeat opportunities to sell to those leads. If you don't capture your leads you are missing a massive opportunity.
First, let's be clear on a very important point:-
I are not talking about spam. Everyone hates spam and it just does not work. Any fool can throw mud at a wall and hope some of it sticks, right?
What we will be aiming to do is to add value to our customer's lives in some way by providing them access to exactly what they want. When they make a purchase we take our commission...a win / win situation.
Checkers and Chess
List building is a strategic form of Internet Marketing. Don't let that put you off. I do not mean it is difficult (once you know what you are doing it is very easy.)
But it is a longer term strategy in comparison to say, a pay-per-click Adwords campaign. With PPC the results can be dramatic and instant. With List Building we are looking over the longer term.
The key element is to build a relationship with your customers. To build trust, so that when you recommend a particular product or service your customers value your judgement and are therefore happy to make a purchase based on your recommendations.
I often use the analogy of Checkers and Chess.
Checkers is a fun, fast game that anyone can play, right? And once you have been shown the ropes you can get pretty good at it. Well, that's the equivalent of an Adwords campaign in say, Google. Don't get me wrong you need to be shown the ropes with Adwords or you can lose your shirt! But if you do it right it can be fast, fun and very profitable.
So, if Adwords is like a game of checkers, List Building is like a game of chess. You don't just need to know how all the pieces move around the board and stuff...you need a strategy to win the game. So, in this article series we are going to look at how we do that.
