E-Marketing the art of Proofreading

Email Marketing Tip Proofreading
Email Marketing is with out a doubt one of the most efficient, cost effective additions you can add to your overall company marketing efforts.
However having a fast way to formulate, build, and send a message to your recipients can lead to several issues including misspellings, not taking the time to build a truly valuable message your recipients want to receive from you, bad links to your web site in your message, etc.

Lets start with the first item misspellings.
It is easy to be busy, get in a hurry and overlook those all to important misspelled words and though the recipient will understand what you are trying to convey the credibility of your message just went out the window. Proofing has been simplified and at the end of this tip we will show you how to reduce errors in grammar.

Now lets take a look into your message for value
We talk a lot in the E-Marketing section about call to action and delivering value to your recipients but there is another issue that happens to the best of us. When you build your message it is important to have a true value that the recipient will act on. It can be a how to tip, it can be a customer loyalty offer, it can be a new product release, or a number of other important informative items you want to share with your recipients.

We always say value your recipients time like you value your own. That if you are going to send a message to your important list of valued contacts then be sure the tip or offer is substantial and that it is of interest to your recipients.

When you provide proof reading to your messages with the use of co-workers, associates or anyone else you can employ to help you they should be not only proofreading for spellings. These persons should be verifying the offer, claims, and even the how to tips so you do not make a mistake that you might feel compelled to honor because you need to maintain the trust with your message recipients. This also goes to your credibility and trust you have worked so hard to to gain with your recipients.
At the end of this tip we will share the best practices for successful message proofing.

Finally Testing Links in your Messages
This happens to us all, you have carefully designed a great email marketing message and your offer is a great one. You even proofread your offers and they are really a great bargain, but no one bothered to check the web site links in your message to:
A= be-sure the link is working.
B= if the link is to a page within your web site be sure (the landing page) that the link is going right to where you want your recipients to be taken. This is the page where what you are offering be it a product or additional tips, etc are located on your web site. You have this choice by cutting and pasting the internal page from your web site as opposed to just directing the recipient to the main or home page of your web site.

In email marketing service providers such as ViperMailer.com email marketing services there are easy to deploy tools that are included in your account that when your message is already to go out you can add multiple proofreaders to the message and have these sent to them for a look or to request a mandatory accept, accept with changes, or reject options.
This is important that all businesses or organizations use proofreaders and that the proofreaders are skilled and knowledgeable in the offer and claims.
These proofreaders should also be made aware to look at and to check the spelling, phone number, and the hyperlinks as well.

Keeping your co-workers safe
In some companies you might be the Director of Marketing and you are accountable for the offers and claims on behalf of the organization therefore you need to protect yourself and having several sets of trained eyes review the offer before it goes out is a good stay out of trouble move.

The proofreader accept and reject features provided by email marketing services store these because as the admin for your account you can keep these accepts and rejected as well you can see who has not accepted on the proofreading request and is holding up the massages from going out.
This s only when you click on the request “Proofreaders Authorize or Reject” it is required that marketing gets and approval from say legal, sales, the owner, etc.

Once the message has been proofed by your single or multiple proofreaders, and they each accepted the message, the message will automatically go out unless you have setup a time or day in the future utilizing the email marketing services time and day message sender.

E-Marketing and your Domain Name Future

When do you use that WWW. in your marketing efforts
I think it was Coca Cola or IBM? that first began not using the www. before their CocCola.com or IBM.com.
It was about 15+ years ago when companies began using www.theirname.com on their printed materials and about 8 to 10+ years ago when this drop the www. before the domain name change began.

This education in .www, and .com usage is devoted to searching by name E-Marketing:
We remember that as an advanced technology engineering company we dropped the www. before our name in 1995/1996 and we have never looked back. This is partly because we all want people to remember or web site address or URL’s so the shorter the domain name the better retention.

Domain Name changes in the this decade:
The first change we have already began to see all through this decade are things like Coca Cola and Proctor and Gamble using different domain names for their promotions like MyCokeRewards.com for one example.
This allows CocaCola.com to be the overall umbrella for all that Coca Cola offers. Also this specialized domain names began being used a few years after everybody started adding all of their products, services, promotions, instructions and everything else under the sun to their web sites.

The information on these and our web sites is important and web site navigation began to be easier for searching around on these web sites but it all became to much to handle so most companies regardless of being big or small if they were growing and moving like any good healthy business should be doing to stay in business today then we all begam=n adding better focused ways to find us and our offerings with greater ease.

Finding the Big Corporations:
From a marketing point of view using our company for and example we own Viper Logic and we own ViperLogic.com When you have applied your efforts to the search engines being IBM or Coca Cola you can just go to any of the search engines Yahoo, Google, Live, or Ask and type in Coca Cola or IBM and these names are going to some up bringing you exactly what you were searching for.

Finding the Small Company:
As a small company you can do this as Viper Logic has done. In the E-Marketing world you need to apply the same domain name to your web site that is familiar with your clients like Coca Cola, IBM and even this small technology company have done.

Type your name into the Search Engines test:
If you do not find your company under you company name then you are more then likely not going to be found under any other search you perform.
Next you will need to work on, or having someone work on your SEO/SEM (Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing) so that when your clients or anyone is looking for your company by name doing and Internet search they are likely to find you.

Domain Name changes towards the end of this 2000’s Decade:
On this blog under the area of Domain Names we explain at great length the values and understanding of utilizing those all important .com domain names.

Here is where we will explain why we think that looking towards the end of this decade having the .com ending will be of such importance.
We realize that when a person is looking for a product by name that they will either type the domain name with that important .com ending into the address bar or they will type what they remember about the company, product, service, or promotion into the search box at their favorite search engine and this is why the match is so important.
The match can be gained through the use of an SEO/SEM (Search Engine Optimization and Search Engine Marketing) efforts and you testing the search engines to see the returned searched results.

We see that in the near future that a persons searching the Internet is just going to type in these company, product, service, or promotion types of searches so we actually envision the dropping of the ending in the domain names in a companies printing on these web site address’s and you will just be for example, Viper Logic or any of the products we offer as each product stands on its own when searched for.

Organizing Your Products and Services Online
There is one other thing that companies like Viper Logic are doing and that is to have a directory web site for all company, product, service, or promotion like in our case we use ViperSolutions.com and direct through all online forums, blogs and email message signatures (those hyper links in your emails that you send to people or in your email marketing campaigns) at the bottom of all of your posts the visitor to all we are offering because we do not really know what the person reading our messages or posts is looking for but we do have a general understanding that they are interested in what we are overall offering say Email Marketing Services

If you do not care about the domain name as and investment.
Why does it matter to you that the domain name you find that you want to use has a different ending say like a .info extension if you are not worried about the domain name for its investment potential?

There are several reasons to make the decision to buy the .com for your web site domain name.
Reason Number 1
When you build your web site and you begin to promote the name through verbal conversation at your industry events, chamber of commerce gatherings, trade shows or even over the phone you are going to be conveying a lot of information in your conversation as it is, so you are going to want to be sure the name is simple to remember and having anything other then the .com is asking your clients to remember to much.

Reason Number 2
When you build a web site and you work for years to make that web site very search-able in the major search engines, directories, forums, and blogs, you have invested great amounts of time and large sums of money promoting your web site online. It becomes very clear to us all that using a .com is favored by the bots, spiders sniffing through the billions of pages sent out by the search engines and directories 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
The .com extensions will prevail in the search results performed by you and I each time we go online looking for what ever we want to find on the Internet.

Reason Number 3
Business 101 Reminder.
The exit strategy for any business, this is the way we all need to think when we started our business or even our social network sites. That one day we are going to want to sell our business to or leave our business to someone else.
This is also why you are going to want to buy the .com domain name. The value to the overall business is today a very important part of the buisness value.

Exit Strategy Domain Name Example.
This is a best case exit strategy scenario involving the business name and the matched domain name with the .com ending.
