Solo Email Blast
The following contains a checklist of information that we
recommend you use to prepare for your SOLO EMAIL BLAST. Please print this
out and review.
SENDING US YOUR AD COPY:
Your solo ad copy is required 3 BUSINESS DAYS prior to your
mailing date. Please send it directly to
sam@selfgrowth.com. If we do not receive the new ad copy we will
either rerun the last ad copy we have for you, or we will apply a 50% rebooking
fee for rescheduling the promotion for a later date.
CANCELING OR REBOOKING YOUR SOLO EMAIL BLAST: Canceling or Rebooking a
solo email blasts needs to be done 5 business days before the promotional date
or we will either rerun the last ad copy we have for you or apply a 50%
rebooking fee to rescheduling the promotion.
RESTRICTIONS
ON ACCEPTABLE SOLO COPY: We have several restrictions on the ad copy that can be
sent to our lists and to the websites that we promote. We will not promote
products or services that include gambling or pornography or are not in
alignment with the values of SelfGrowth.com.
TESTING YOUR SOLO: A test of your solo advertisement is sent out after
we receive your copy. Did you provide us with the test email address and name?
CONFIRM YOUR TEST: We require you to confirm that the test is correct
before we send the actual solo to our email lists. If we do not receive a
positive confirmation of the test from you by the time the solo is due for
broadcast our editors will review the promotion and test the links one final
time; then we will mail the promotion.
SUBJECT LINE: Don’t forget to include a subject line for your solo.
Please be sure to make your subject line as straightforward as possible. We have
the right to change your subject line if we feel it is not applicable to your
advertisement or could be mistaken for Spam. If we do not receive a subject line
we will create one based on your ad copy and include it in the solo test which
will be sent to you.
YOU ARE REQUIRED TO DO ANY SPAM CHECKING OF YOUR SOLO: Did
you run your solo through a Spam checker to see if there are any words that
might get caught in a Spam filter? We recommend
http://www.spamdance.com
or
http://spamcheck.sitesell.com. Please
make sure you have checked your solo for Spam rule compliancy before sending us
the copy.
DIRECTION OF YOUR SOLO: Your entire solo can come directly from you or
from David Riklan, the founder of SelfGrowth.com and NaturalHealthWeb.com. For
solos coming from you, we require a short introduction from David. Please
provide a suggested introduction, and we will review it and modify it (if
necessary). Please do not direct readers to a squeeze page with minimal
information as this compromises the quality of our lists.
FORMAT FOR YOUR SOLO: Is the solo in html format or MIME (both text AND
html)? We can send out solos in either html or MIME, and both types have been
proven to be effective. If your solo has specific formatting, designs, or images, you must submit an HTML version. If you are using HTML, all images must be hosted on your end.
The
success of your solo depends on four primary factors. They include the
following:
1. How
compelling is your copy? The focus of the copy should be to get qualified buyers
to click on the link to go to your site. The click-thru rates from different
solos vary substantially.
2 .
How effective is your website at converting visitors
to buyers? Your conversion rate is the percentage of visitors that come to your
website that purchase your product or sign up for something on your website.
3. How
compelling is your subject line? If you don’t have a good subject line, people
might not open the email.
4. Are
there many words in the solo that might get caught in the Spam filters? Please
review your email and run it through a Spam filter.
