How to Grow Your Email List...
Make it a habit to collect names & emails where ever you're at while keeping in mind you are building a permission-based list.
- Networking events - Let new contacts know that you will add them to your Newsletter to start a better relationship.
- Collect addresses at Trade shows - Put out a draw box labelled 'Sign up for our monthly tips and be entered into a draw to win a valuable prize!'
- Speaking at an event? - Have a sign up sheet with name, email and a check box for Newsletter sign-up. Remember you are the expert they came to see!
- Have a sign-up sheet at your place of business. For a restaurant you may want to offer a monthly draw for a free lunch!
 Make it a habit of all your employees whether in person or on the phone to collect info & permission! - Have a sign-up box on all your web pages (see above example). Capture
those who are not ready to buy today but may in the future.
- Have a 'Forward to a Friend or Colleague' link on all your email campaigns. Remember existing clients are your best source for referrals.
