Don’t Accountants, Bankers & Chiropractors Believe in Coupons?

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.

After serving in the military as a U.S. Navy SEAL I started several companies over the past 10+ yrs. 1SE0 has been the single best investment I’ve made to grow my company.

I feel comfortable and safe entrusting my companies branding and growth in the hands of 1SEO.

My company has been partnered with 1SEO for a little over a year now and they have handled all aspects of our digital marketing. They are a wonderful company to work with; we discuss our goals with them and they make sure each and every one of the goals is met within a reasonable period of time. In addition, they send us a monthly reporting of how our campaigns are performing and always set up a call to discuss so that they can make sure we understand what we’re looking at. Digital analytics can definitely be hard to understand but they are always happy to help us learn along the way. We truly value our partnership with 1SEO and look forward to seeing how they can help us grow in the future!

As a small business, branching out and hiring a marketing company can be scary. My partner and I were very nervous about making the move in fear we would be taken advantage of since we have absolutely no knowledge when it comes to marketing.After a long search, we found 1SEO. From the beginning , they have been nothing but comforting and professional while navigating us through this unfamiliar process. All they asked was for us to trust and let them prove themselves to us.1SEO has proved themselves and then some! They are the truth when it comes to digital marketing! If you don't want to take my word for it, I'm confident there are a plethora of other clients that would say the same. If you want to bring in more revenue, hire 1SEO now!

When I launched my own start-up company last fall, I knew that I needed to have a solid PPC strategy in place. Working with a tight budget, and I needed the right team to get our Google and social media ads up and running. Hiring 1SEO was one of the best decisions I could have made.They are experts in the PPC field. They set up both my Google, Facebook, and Instagram accounts up for success. They created a pipeline of leads to my website and focused on cultivating them for sales.The team I worked with was also highly professional and responsive. Nick, my account rep, truly went above and beyond each and every day. As a small business owner, I do work very odd hours. Nick was always super responsive with any of my questions or concerns - day or night; even on weekends. I never expected that level of service, but I did appreciate that they were always on top of the account.Overall - great company and great people who are experts in their field. They truly felt a part of my company - as they were invested in the company's success. I would highlight recommend 1SEO for anyone looking to start or take their PPC campaign to the next level.
