When it comes to online marketing for a construction business–or any kind of business– success or failure often depends on the email list. When you have new products or services to offer or you just want to promote your company, you can send emails to this list knowing there is already interest in your offerings. You can use the following three tips to help with email list building for your construction company.
- Exchange value for email address: Along with the useful information already on your website, blog, or social media pages, you can offer a particularly valuable item in exchange for a site visitor’s email address. In most cases, this will be an ebook, white paper, or report covering a specific issue or area relevant to visitors’ needs. Site visitors can enter their email into an opt-in form and then download the item. In this exchange, leads get useful information and you get their email address and permission to send more emails.
- Ask for referrals: Ask your existing customers for referrals (via email address) to friends, colleagues, or relatives who may be interested in your services. Happy, satisfied customers are usually very willing to provide referrals. You can then approach these referrals via email with higher confidence that they will be willing to hear your message.
- Provide ongoing news and information: You can acquire email addresses by providing an online subscription to a regular newsletter or other email-based publication. Subscribing to the newsletter will again require the lead to willingly give you an email address where the newsletter can be sent. This allows you to market your company through the content you provide in the newsletter. It also provides the opportunity to maintain awareness of your company by showing up regularly in the lead’s email.
