Using Autoresponders In The Marketing Two-Step

Many experienced marketers believe the mail order "two-step" method is the most efficient and profitable way for a small business to sell its product or service by mail. To utilize the traditional two-step system, you place small, inexpensive classified ads in various newspapers and magazines.

Step 1: Using a provocative headline and a major benefit of your product or service, your classified ad then asks people to call or write you for additional information.

Step 2: When a person inquires, you then give the inquirer additional information about your product or service... all the major benefits of owning or using it... and ask the caller or writer to buy from you.

Placing small ads in publications, of course, costs you money. It is also expensive to hire someone to answer your telephones and attempt to sell the callers. As you know, sending a sales letter to an inquirer via the postal system can also be very expensive.

Using an autoresponder on the internet takes the mail order two-step method to its ultimate profitable conclusion. You can place your classified ads in hundreds of places to reach millions of hot prospects... advertising absolutely FREE. It costs nothing for a prospect to look at your online advertisement and request more information.

Then, when your prospect inquires, your autoresponder will send your sales letter over the internet to your prospects e-mail-box... all at VERY little cost! Unlike other advertisements that ask for a prospect to send a self address, stamped envelope or possibly $1-$2 for an additional report, it costs nothing to send an e-mail. That significantly increases the response rate giving you the opportunity to take Step 2.

The whole process is infinitely less expensive than off-line. Try it to see if it works for you!
