Email marketing is a very effective strategy to sell physical or digital products online and also services.

The issue is, in concept, very simple. Email marketing is to build a database of emails from potential customers who then proceed to send emails offering products or services you sell.

To build such a database of emails usually what is done is to offer a totally free product (usually a tutorial or free ebook) under the condition that the user enter your email to receive the free product, thereupon beginning to develop a number of strategies for sending emails. The main technical problem that we face right away is how we send these emails.

For that exist in the market a series of products dedicated to email marketing that are not limited to sending emails but also give me a set of statistics to measure the effectiveness of my emails and other services as “autoresponders” that are automatic responses emails. The problem with these software is sending mass emails that are a bit expensive for someone who wants to start it and experience with email marketing.

I just found, however, email marketing program called MailChimp you have a package for free so that one can experiment with this strategy. MailChimp obviously has other paid packages at very competitive with similar programs, but the appeal of MailChimp is this free package that lets you send up to 12000 emails a month to a maximum of 2000 subscribers.

To publicize a new product without having to invest too, an option may be to make demonstrations or tastings in our own house, where we begin to invite family, friends, neighbors and acquaintances, and where we show our products is the demo to try, or the offer.

This not only succeeds in getting our first customers, but if our product gets to like, it is very likely to begin recommending us. Moreover, this demonstration and tasting will allow us the direct views of others about our product, and thus know what to improve, what we should add or what to take.
Internet

Another inexpensive way to start promoting our products is through the Internet, either by sending to design our website where we promote our company and our products, or displaying our products in specialized pages for this, for example, such Market Places Free market like eBay.
Free samples

Making selling a new product can be a complicated task, especially if there are many similar competing products, which consumers and they are buying.

But one way of gaining access to those customers who are buying them to competition, is giving free test our product.

For example, if our product is in some kind of sweet and we are leaving on a consignment to business brokers, we can choose to leave them a source of some of our products, to place it on your desk and are available free of charge to its customers.
Participate in trade fairs

Another way to begin to present our products without investing too, is renting a small office or stand in a local fair.

Although this strategy to be effective, we must have a good variety of our products and, in turn, have brochures and business cards that they give to consumers to consult about our products.

Before developing this point, we agree that if we lack good and competitive products or services to the market segment you want to meet, not only will not get consistency but not sell anything.

The first step is to accept that we must provide the knowledge and clear enough about “what” and “what is required” to generate quality sales and daily productivity (Sales Professional) by those who have to make important and vital task of generating the income needed for survival and full development of the business.

These core strengths and inexorable for those who sell. They are responsible for generating the quality described, and that means doing it with total customer satisfaction for every current and interested potential to be contacted daily by the actions of the sellers. This will lead the organization to a perception of her image and products that provide gradually a number of new potential customers, as described in the “virtuous circle” of professional selling.

The next essential step in the activity of a representative, is to design a strategy for action, also called “effective method of management”, which will set all the steps that current and new team members must take to get efficiently and productively to generate daily maximum results possible.
