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.

I just wanted to take a moment to praise the entire team at 1SEO for the work they did on our new brand. We hired them to build out a site for a new company and they pulled it off perfectly. The design, the functionality, and the content couldn't have been better. Thank you to our account rep, Stephanie, for keeping us updated throughout the process and ensuring all of our needs were met and in a timely fashion.

Our experience at 101 Mobility with Samantha Weston has been great. She goes above and beyond to identify the problems/solutions in our specific industry. We have seen significant improvement since she has taken over our account. We have also been helped a ton by PPC Specialist Alex Nichols. He is able to dive deep into the numbers and also explain them in more simple ways for Dave and I. We look forward to continue working with Sam and Alex.

It has been an absolute pleasure working with 1SEO. Our law firm recently made the switch from Scorpion to 1SEO and the dramatic differences in how they operate are astounding and refreshing. Managing the office and having direct access to a human in charge of the department I need to discuss or manage is not only convenient, but essential for professional communication. Their team is talented, honest, transparent, flexible, patient and creative. Our website re-build speaks for itself. We could not be happier with the decision to join the 1SEO team.

I wanted to share an exceptional experience that I had with Dan Fox from 1SEO. Dan was a part of my assigned team to build a website for my HVAC company and I cannot express how satisfied I am with the outcome. From initial consultations to the final launch date, Dan was a pleasure to work with.Dan was attentive during each step of the process and made sure to listen to my requests for changes and adjustments. His communication skills are outstanding, which is essential when you're working on a project like this. He also answered any questions that I had promptly, always ensuring that everything was explained clearly.Most importantly, Dan's vision for our website was spot on. He helped us create a user-friendly and sleek platform that truly captures our brand identity. His professionalism and expertise were evident during every step of the process.In conclusion, I highly recommend Dan Fox and 1SEO for your website design needs. You will not be disappointed with the outcome.

We began working with 1SEO this year. Our initial meetings and planning was going well, but then there was a lack of communication and direction from our team. Once Angelina Twaddell came on board things quickly shifted upward. She hit the ground running, kept us in the loop, listened to our concerns and connected us with the right people to make necessary changes. We look forward to continuing this partnership and growing our business with Angelina and the rest of the team at 1SEO.

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..
