Autoresponder Basics - Part Eight: Continued

Selecting a quality autoresponder service:

When selecting an autoresponder service, there are many
factors that need to be taken into consideration to ensure
maximum performance:

- Personalized responses - Gives the recipient the illusion
that your message was sent specifically to them.

- Automatic follow-ups - Studies have shown it may take up
to seven contacts before closing a sale.

- Unlimited text length - If you are inhibited by the amount
of text your autoresponder may contain, you may be forced
to revise a successful sales letter, ultimately costing you
business.

- Free Unlimited updating - You must have the ability to
update your autoresponders.

- Automatic Notification - You must have the ability to track
your ad's performance. You should be instantly informed
each time someone requests your information.

Although many web hosts provide their clients with one-time
autoresponders, if you're planning on sending out follow-up
messages, you'll want to use a more advanced autoresponder.
