Autoresponders simplify your business by automatically storing your contacts in a database and sending newsletters to them at pre-determined intervals.
Why marketers don't follow-up on their customers Most visitors won't buy a product the first time they see it.
There may be a number of reasons such as:
- Need more information to make an informed decision
- Not a priority activity for their business
- Distracted by other activities
- Want to come back to it later
- Don't understand how it will benefit their business
- Lack of motivation to take action
You may be happy you made a sale however you've lost contact with the other 99 people unless you implement an email autoresponder.
Many online marketers just go for the immediate sale but leave a lot of money on the table by not capturing the majority of visitors that didn't purchase their product.
