Autoresponder
Tuesday 27 February 2007
If you are running an online business, then I guess you are pretty aware of online marketing. Through online marketing your business can progress to full measure. One of the primary things needed in an online type of marketing is sending promotional and updates. With thousands of email address embedded in your mailing database, a lot of work is required - from sending opted-in promotional, to answering questions, to following up requests, or even just the confirmation of their subscription for your mailings.
Autoresponder is a computer program (message can be structured in any way you want) that automatically answers email sent to it. With this type of software, answering same questions or requests time and again can be eliminated. Autoresponder can either reply immediately to emails of your clients so that they will know that you have received their message and you are going to tend to it when you're available. Or you can send price listing of your products, answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ) and other fixed information about your business. Just make sure to place a message informing your clients why they are receiving such mailings. This will prevent them from reporting your message as spam.
If you just need an autoresponder that will send a single message such as assuring your clients that you have received their emails, then you can used the autoresponder that comes along with the web hosting package. The set- up might vary from one web host to another, but the activation usually involves your host's control panel. In some cases, more than one message are to be sent in a definite time interval, with this you can use a commercial or a free autoresponder which can meet the magnitude of the service required. These free autoresponder services serve as a third party, which means that you don't have any control over them. These services are freely offered in exchange of the advertisements which will be placed in your autoresponders.
Another consideration is making sure that your autoresponder message will not be considered as spam. A simple tag such as "I'm on vacation" might not appear as spam, but that is not the case most the time. To ensure you of a correct tag message try visiting prohostingreply.comLabels: autoresponder
