Whenever a purchase of one of your products or services occurs, require the purchaser to sign up to your email list. Of course, you want to allow them to opt-out also. Your emails should include timely informative messages about your products but also include other offers that influence customers to buy in the future.

Understand your audience. To illustrate, if your target audience is a younger crowd they are more apt to connect through social networking, rather than by e-mail. Take a look at what your competition is doing (you can do this by signing up for their marketing list) to determine how they get their message out to different demographics. You can ask your customers to complete short surveys to help you learn more about them. Always think about the details of what you’re selling.  , especially when using social media marketing. Social media marketing is not likely the medium to use if your product is one in which the customer would be embarrassed about purchasing. You need to try a host of conditions to know what works and what doesn’t.
