by Justin Premick on November 4th, 2008

Over the past week or so, we’ve talked about email segmentation a few times.

While the three posts did show you how to segment your subscribers, they didn’t talk much about why you should do so, or what to say to different groups. Some of you asked about this.

Well, just the other day, AWeber user Yaro Starak talked about those very things on his blog, sharing how they helped him raise sales over $31,000.

Social Proof Tool Boosts Landing Page Conversion 32.4%

by Justin Premick on July 25th, 2008

The recent release of a new subscriber count chicklet met a mixed response.

We’ve read plenty of positive comments on the blogs who covered this feature.

But there were definitely others (both in the release post’s comments and on other blogs) who doubted the usefulness of such a feature.

Of course, this is one of those cases where you should apply the best lesson in marketing — Test!

Fitness expert and AWeber user Carl Juneau did just that, setting up a split test on his landing page to see if the presence of the subscriber count chicklet affected opt-in rates.

He swung by our blog the other day to share his results.

by Justin Premick on May 31st, 2007

Marc DavidMany businesses use “ethical bribes” such as ebooks and free reports to collect opt-in subscribers.

Once they’ve gotten what they came for, though, you have to continue to offer value in order to turn them from “freebie seekers” to active, engaged subscribers who you can convert to paying customers.

Our latest case study looks at Marc David and how he’s using email newsletters as well as automated follow ups to build a legion of raving fans in a hotly-contested niche: personal fitness and bodybuilding.

How To Grow A Tourism Business With Email

by Justin Premick on April 17th, 2007

I love travel. Pretty much everything about it… hitting the road (or air), visiting new places, seeing and meeting people who I may have little to nothing in common with, trying out new food…

And I’m not alone. International tourism alone accounts for nearly 30% of worldwide exports, and its share continues to grow1. People like to get out and “see the world” (just think about how many times you’ve heard that phrase).

In such a lively market, it seems that opportunity must abound. Of course, like any opportunity, not everyone takes advantage of it.

Gerry Kerkhof did. And he’s using email marketing to grow his tourism business - helping people discover one of the world’s most popular tourism destinations, Spain.
