Email marketting



recently i have been passing through a site and read an article about email marketing.email marketing is and essential promotion tool for content sites.by providing subscription feature you can ensure users coming back to your site along with that email marketing can be used as a promotional tool and also for giving publicity to your new products.

but email marketing is one painful service to manage.thought its so useful the webmasters should be well aware that they can lose their subscribers so easily.also poor quality emails can give a bad name to service too. the frequency of mailing can also be a determining factor.

according to me if you are an email marketer. you should try weakly or bi monthly emails. monthly is too long while daily is too short.According to a 2006 Epsilon Interactive consumer e-mail study, 73 percent of consumers will unsubscribe if they feel that a company sends e-mail too frequently. Consumers are willing to receive e-mails with almost any frequency as long as the content of the message remains relevant and valuable to them.so make sure you have quality content .proper use of pictures and styling will also help.avoid mistakes in language .

and so i find this article pretty useful since they have mentioned the facts and tips.this article has been written by Andre Wagner .i have given the link below so that you can read the content directly from article city.

The CAN-SPAM Act doesn’t specify what types of e-mail content to send to your e-mail list subscribers. The best practice is to send e-mail content that matches your audience’s expectations or interests. Here are some tips for setting expectations for your potential e-mail list subscribers and for sending e-mail content that matches their expectations as well as their interests:

- Include a description of your e-mail content and your typical frequency in your sign-up process. For example, if you send a monthly e-mail newsletter along with periodic promotions to your e-mail list, your e-mail list sign-up form might include a sentence that reads Signing up allows you to receive our monthly e-mail newsletter as well as periodic special offers related to our newest products.

- Send only the content that your e-mail list subscribers expect you to send. For example, if potential e-mail list subscribers share their e-mail address in order to receive a quote for your services, don’t send them offers unless they gave you permission as part of requesting a quote.

- Allow your e-mail list subscribers to choose their own interests. If you send several....."

Birthday







i woke up that day.. it wasn't any different from other days..sun had already risen and its almost 7 .Ahan today is my birthday.So what ?? i have been living here in this world for 17 years..and yet did the world got anything from me.Whether i live or not will there be a difference? i looked through my mails and sms .There was even a packet from dad and mom and many many birthday cards,Of all colors ,Of all varieties and those sweet messages.. made me smile.. yet ...

As usuall am late to reach school.Some one had already spread the word that it was my birthday.So i was greated with many wishes again.Even the teacher didn't even bothered to scold me for being late.Even while the song "happy birthday to you" filled in classroom, the clouds in my heart didn't got drifted away.Whats so special about this day.I can't see anything unusual... people are celebrating.. but why ?? i can't even understand what good i have done to them ...

The school day went like all other days and i played the football in evening as usual.. dunno why i play ..for fun ??My legs hurt me as i walked back to my home..walking 2 kilometers after an hour and a half of tiring football match is not such a great idea for relief.Thoughts clustered in my mind..Yet even i wasn't sure about what all i was thinking..

Then something just caught attention of my eyes.Quite unnoticed from the crowd a man was searching in a litter box.Out of curiosity i watched what he was doing. A regular rag picker i suppose.well his looks were frightening.he looked dirty and wore a cloth of dirt's color .I stood there watching what he was doing. he don't seem to notice any one..as he was not taking any glass bottles, but was just throwing them aside i was confused... cause rag pickers usually take them..Then i saw a gleam on his face. i was curious to see what it was.. i looked closely.. a packet of half eaten food thrown away by some one.might have been there for days.even the smell of the garbage would make me close my nose with fingers..the thought of he going to eat it made me feel to vomit..

Another regular picture of poverty. i started walking but something made me stop.what can i do ? some force made me put my hands into my pocket and grab the rupee notes there, father's gift for my birthday.i have already planned to buy the new game disc.. but...some unknown force made me get into the near by hotel and order a parcel.i took it and started towards the man.. my footsteps made him notice me. he looked back..i froze..but when i saw his eyes all i could see
was fright .. he gazed at me.i offered the package..he came to me in slow steps looking closely at me.at last he was in a hand reach..suddenly he grabbed the package and started to run .i watched him vanishing in the distance and then i started walking back to my home..

At home it was unusually silent..i opened the door..and then there was a happy birthday wish in unison.. i smiled. birthday surprise!!!.i could see the smiling faces of my parents ,brother and my friends. i was guided to the cake..while i was blowing off the candles i made my wish, "may the suffery in the world decreases and people start to understand and help each other so no one have to live in poverty".That day, The birthday the cake tasted extra sweet even though it was all same as last year's and that night for once i slept peacefully, satisfied with thought that
finally i did one useful thing to the world..


"it's not that you have to do many things.. but the mind and the situation that make your help valuable to the world.."

disclaimer:- this is not a true story though it resembles some parts of my life.
