How do you grow your
email list?
My
daughters, nearly 9 and 6, asked me if they could plant
some things for our garden. Naturally, I said yes. I was excited that
they were
showing an interest something I really enjoy. I asked them what they
wanted to
grow. They said pumpkins, beans, carrots, chives, and lettuce. I said
let’s
make a list and go shopping. At the store we looked at the different
kinds of
seeds, dirt and fertilizer. We talked about natural and organic
products and
what is best to put into our bodies. I personally don’t like to put
lots of
chemicals into my mouth or my family’s. I like to teach my girls how
natural
products are an investment in our future health. I told them that the decisions we make today effect what happens
down the road. Needless to say, we chose organic seeds, cow
manure, sun, water and time. Yes time. It definitely takes a little
longer,
but the
pay back is big.
When
you are growing your email list, you can apply the same principals. One of the best
ways for you to grow your list is organically, naturally. Other companies use
other strategies. This
week there were about 200 businesses at a Multi-chamber card exchange.
Some of
the attendees skittered around the room collecting as many cards as
were
available. I’m sure that they will add these companies to their email
and
direct mailing lists, some with permission, some without. They looked
like
chamber members on miracle gro. I guess that’s one way to grow your
list. But
my goal at an event like that is not to meet every person in the room,
nor do I
think it’s effective to merely get the contact information of everyone
who attends. Stay tuned for next month's edition where I'll talk about more "organic gardening" and some other natural strategies to successfully grow your list. |

Women
in Networking - In the
face of corporate downsizing in the early 1990s, a group of women from
high
tech started Women in Networking (WIN). The group was as much about
emotional
and social support as it was about making contacts, preparing for job
interviews,
and sharing job leads. A decade later, WIN is still going strong.
Monthly meetings are at the fabulous Acton Jazz Cafe. Dates are posted on the WIN Website. |
