Perhaps that question might be a silly one to ask, but we beg for your indulgence as we will shortly explain the premise behind the inquiry. In this day and age, just about every business, and seemingly every industry that sells a service, uses some form of email marketing that gets sent directly to their intended target audience, sent straight to the target audience. The primary purpose is to generate new leads and sales from previous and current customers, and to grow & expand their market share by gaining new future customers. The majority of today’s direct-to-consumer communications are via email marketing. This method has the quickest turnaround time from concept to delivery, as well as the lowest cost-per-unit of any format available.

Top 3 Email Marketing Mistakes Made By The Professional Services Industry

Back to the initial question posed: Of all the email offers the average consumer receives in the Philadelphia & Central New Jersey regions, the ones sent by those small businesses categorized in the Professional Services vertical seem to take the least advantage of this form of marketing. Those considered to be in the “Professional Services” category include Doctors & Dentists, Bankers & Financial Planners, Insurance Agents, and many other so-called “white-collar” professions. Perhaps the assumption is that the fees they charge for the services they provide are “competitive” with others in their fields, so no exclusive savings opportunities are necessary. Maybe it’s that some think of themselves as “indispensable.” Consequently, why should they need to take any extra steps in securing new or existing clientele?

While still unsure as to the rationale behind the limited use of email marketing by those in the Professional Services industries, we are sure that of those using email to market their businesses, many commit mistakes. Silly mistakes, perhaps; but errors that will cost their companies the opportunity to grow & expand. Many of the most commonly made mistakes are obvious ones – or maybe just obvious to those in the digital marketing world; and the degree to which each error affects the long-term financial success of each business varies greatly. Of all the failures we see, we think it best to provide you with our Top 3 email Marketing Mistakes made by the Professional Services Industry.

You’re Welcome! Every name & email address that gets added to your company’s master list has a dollar value to your business. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but if they took the time to attach themselves to your subscription list, they are a potential revenue source. Therefore, the moment after their email address is added to your list, make sure you send them an immediate email. If for no other purpose, to at least say “thank you,” and maybe you wish to send them a coupon or discount offer to incentivize them to purchase your services sometime sooner rather than later?

Do It – Do It NOW! As lovely as it is to say “thank you,” the purpose of sending anything is to create a prompt to use your service. This prompt is known as creating a Call-To-Action or CTA. These CTA’s shouldn’t leave the recipients to guess what action it is that you wish for them to take, and the emails containing your CTA’s should only include one CTA per email – otherwise, you stand the chance of creating confusion, which often results in no action at all!

You Are Looking Good! Remember that most often, your target audience will be a mature, affluent one, likely well-educated and informed, and that your business is a Professional Service. Therefore, your email pieces should have a professional appearance and be well written, reflecting the quality of your business every step of the way.

If you wish for your email marketing to align with your business goals of generating more leads, sales, and profit, be sure to implement these minimum guidelines. And if you want to learn just how well – or poorly – your current email marketing strategies & campaigns are doing, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a more complete – and no obligation – Digital Marketing Analysis.

We've been 1SEO for about 4 months now. We originally linked up with Bill Rossell who is absolutely amazing to deal with and very helpful in explaining the process, 4 months later now I think I could say we're actually friends, got to hang out at a seminar and Peloton together and we text frequently.. Once I was set up and live I was then introduced to many different people who were all working on my campaign and all have been there for me at the drop of a dime whether it's a zoom meeting, a text or just emails everything is answered in a timely fashion and with a simplicity of ease. I highly recommend when 1SEO to further your business marketing options..

We originally discovered 1SEO when we were searching for a local company to service our truck fleet. The 'local' company was 45 minutes away but at the top of the search engines! We were SO impressed, that we just HAD to ask that company who was managing their advertising and they RAVED about 1SEO. Since we had already seen the performance results through our own experience, we connected with 1SEO immediately.Our small, privately owned company has been in business for 20 years. We've seen every sales pitch, and met with hundreds of people claiming they would increase our business and perform miracles. We are happy to save you the time, headaches and money by telling you that 1SEO TRULY delivers! You have full access to the performance results on a DAILY basis! No smoke & mirrors. Everything is shared with you in easy to understand reports. They provide you full control on managing your advertising campaigns but at the same time, they will take the wheel if you don't have the time. Most importantly, they have a huge team and every member of their team is creative, intelligent and as excited about your company as you are! In addition to handling our SEO business, they created a new website for us and continually design new content to keep our company and fresh AND profitable! 1SEO literally provides you an entire marketing and advertising division of your company without the payroll cost!

I came to 1SEO because I needed desperate help with my marketing. The company I was doing business with were no longer getting me results and I needed someone with more experience. I reached out to 1SEO and scheduled a discovery call. During this time, they checked all of my marketing as well as discussed the future plans for growth. I was impressed with their attention to details and their customer service. 3 months later I now have a different problem. Too much business coming this way, which is great!! I can't thank you guys enough, in particularly to Nick for making me feel like I am their only client. Keep up the excellent work!

This review is way overdue - hiring 1SEO to bring our 50+ year old, family owned, small business into the 21 century was the BEST decision we've ever made. Google advertising and website design is made 100x easier when you have a team of experts on your side. These ladies and gentlemen are phenomenally helpful and the best at what they do. Andrew Foligno is super helpful, responsive and insightful. Honestly, I can't believe how well 1SEO brings in new leeds and much higher ranking within Google's search results. Any small\medium sized business will 100% benefit from their services.10 stars!

1SEO is great! We're not a large business, but that doesn't matter. Big or small 1SEO helps us all with the same level of attention. Lance has managed to create a wonderful team of professionals, from the sales, to implementation, and ongoing support. The world of marketing has changed so much from the days when you would place a newspaper or radio ad and cross your fingers. The world is digital- it's in everything that we do. At 55 yrs old I need help with this stuff! The way to reach clients is digital, and these guys know what they are doing to make the most of my advertising dollars. Not to mention the fun they create! They walked us through the entire process and were always available to us.

1SEO has optimized and streamlined our website to deliver a cleaner, far more user friendly experience. The new chat feature that was implemented has made the process of capturing leads much more efficient allowing a more prompt response. There are even more changes in the works so I am excited to see what else the team has in store. From the initial contact with Bernie to everyone on the onboarding team, everyone at 1SEO has been exceptional. Especially the Director, Kathy Donohue, she is the absolute best. She is always so attentive and just a pleasure to work with. She has gone above and beyond countless times to ensure that I was getting everything I needed and that we were being very well taken care of. If your business is in need of expert digital marketing services I highly recommend 1SEO.Rod Allen, OwnerINFINITE MOVING
