You probably know that 20% of your customers are responsible for 80% of your sales.

Did you know that at least 20% of people who have purchased from you once will buy from you again if you follow up with them?

One-fifth of your customer base is just sitting there waiting for you to offer them something new!

If you don’t follow up with your customers, you are letting a lot of profit evaporate… it’s as simple as that.

Your customer base is four or five times more likely to buy from you than to purchase somewhere new. This “lifetime value” of your customers is one of the greatest assets of your business.

You can’t afford not to target your customers with regular emails, called autoresponders… and automate the process.

Autoresponders are prewritten emails automatically sent out to anyone who buys or requests information from you.

Once you have your autoresponder set up, there are any number of emails you can send out on a regular basis, including:

10 great ideas for autoresponders…

1. A confirmation email after a subscription request or purchase

2. A simple thank-you message after a purchase with your contact details

3. Ask your customers if they’re happy with the product after they’ve had it for a little while

4. Follow up on a purchase anniversary

5. Remind customers if they have an appointment with you if you’re running a service-based website

6. Send out a short survey asking your customer’s opinion about shipping times and any improvements you can make to your product

7. Send a follow-up offer on your customer’s birthday

8. Offer a customer a bonus after they have made several purchases

9. Remind customers to bookmark your site, and offer to email them when new information has been added

10. Contact customers and remind them of what you can do for them during holidays and specific shopping seasons

Sending follow-up promotions is an excellent way for your business to generate extra income without sucking up your time.

If you do it right, you should expect to immediately increase your revenues by an extra 30% to 50% just by sending follow-up promotions.

Think about it… how much extra money would that be for YOUR business?
