(Picture Courtesy: http://stylecampaign.com/blog/2008/05/the-welcome-email-dont-blow-the-first-date/)

Do you have a business? Then you must be knowing about welcome email.

A welcome mail is the most important mail that you have ever sent. It is the email, which have highest open, click and conversion.

There is nothing strange about it; a welcome mail generally arrives when a customer literally wants it. Therefore, it is obviously a great opportunity for email marketers to drive their business in action.

What are the things that a welcome mail can generate for you?

•              They can set a high open and click through rates of any email

•              They are easy to set up and automate

•              You can get extra conversion, relieve customer support and stay in their mind forever

If readers have an interest to give their email marketing campaign, a new look, then they can obviously try these creative examples to make their welcome mail look far better and amaze their customers.

Use the Golden Content

To create online karma over delivering is a great way. Your company may be having a blog or have created content and that after a while is buried, does not seek the attention it deserves.

Therefore lets change the package of the content and link it from the welcome message. For example, if you ask them tom subscribe to the newsletter, then link the newsletter to some articles on mobile email or offer a whitepaper on email marketing list service.

You can use your golden content particularly into two ways: Use it as an incentive to drive more sign ups, use the gift to amaze people and also surprise them.

Pinpoint the Location of Your New Subscriber

If you are getting a zip code of your new subscriber, then know that is quite helpful. This will allow you to locate their  local store, local offers, open hours, events, news or even your local account manager.

In the real estate business, zip code is essential as it will show the right local realtor in the welcome mail or offer them a link in which they might feel interested.

Give Away To Earn Something

What do you think about giving your new subscriber a gift? Chances may be there that new subscriber may know persons who may get interested in your services. Therefore, it is better to offer, say two discount coupons instead of one or something more. One for the subscriber and the other for the subscriber to give it to their friends.

Why Don’t You Introduce The Man Behind Your Brand?

If your business has a face then, then introduce them through your email marketing campaign. The people who are behind all the creativity, they can appear on the storyboard as a team. Clients, your team and even your inspirations who inspired you to become what you are. Actually, you will be narrating them a story for a better understanding of your service.

Invite Them to Join

How will you promote a newsletter?  There are several ways to promote them. On your site, you can advertise or use the social media fully. Your news subscriber can easily become a Facebook fan or connect you on LinkedIn or may Tweet your link to cater further services.

Welcome email is a chance to show, what are they doing with those channels, and if you are more into social media, then here is a chance to join the conversation.

Top 7 Small Business Obamacare Haters

With the release of the Obamacare in the month of October, it’s expected that number of small business owners will sign up for the health insurances. All the exchanges started to operate from the month of October 1, 2013, which is going to offer low cost insurance for individuals and small business owners.

However, Obamacare met with mixed reactions from the variety of small business owners in United States. Some satisfied with the rates and coverage while the dissatisfied ones plans to buy insurances privately.

So far, hundreds of companies who have opened their account in the state exchange. However, the processing of the policies will officially begin by January 1.

In places like New York, Minnesota and Vermont everywhere small business enrollments passed all expectations. In Maryland, it will not open until Jan 1, as for Washington exchange will exists in 39 counties. Even the states were exchange is not going to take place so soon are showing unexpected interest in Obamacare.

Now coming to the discussion for which I sat down to write the article. This fresh scheme has displeased a handful of small business owners, who still have their faith in buying private insurances.

Obamacare Haters

Robin Lunge, the state's director of health care reform says that in Vermont itself, they have received mixed reviews. A faction of people says that the rates are convincing, but other says premiums are too high. They will receive a better coverage, but in turn, the monthly cost will increase.

Indeed, a strong reason to reject the Obamacare by the small business owners, increase in cost is dear as the small entrepreneurs have less capital to invest. (Note: For earning good profits, paying a handsome share may not hurt businesses)

In California, the exchange surprised many a people like the doctors who have their own clinic. According to the new law, employers can get a tax credit if the average salary doctors pay is under $50,000. As for the doctors who pay, more than $50,000 will have no advantage without the additional tax credit. As going to an insurance company or to the exchange will be remaining the same.

As for some Obamacare Haters, plans are not proper and more dissatisfying. So many small businesses tend to stick to their previous plans rather than going for the state exchange.

Top 7 Obamacare Haters

Mc Donald’s

Nope, this time it’s hard for Peter Bensen to say, I’ m Just Lovin It! the chief financial officer of Mc Donald’s said on a conference call in 2012 that if his company switch for Obamacare then it will cost the company and their franchisees $140 million to $420 million. It is hard to embrace or love.

Whole Food

Gosh, a hard reaction from John Mackey, CEO of Whole Foods, he called Obamacare is like Fascism.  Well, he confessed that unlike his slogan "Whole Foods, Whole People, Whole Planet" Obamacare is not providing a wholesome support to small business in the US with the new policy. The libertarian does not regret saying that to Huffington Post.

Papa John

A man with a positive note, John Schnatter, CEO of Papa John says that the Obamacare will hurt his company by $0.11 to $0.44 per pizza, but for the customers it is always a toast. No price increase in Pizzas, yet the employees will get the health insurances. “Better Ingredients, Better Pizza” – Hope not “Better Healthcare, Costlier Pizza.”

Cheesecake Factory

In December, their CEO, David Overton stated Obamacare will be costly, and most of the people have to either raise the price or lower the product quality. As for their Senior Vice President, Dina Barmasse-Gray, Obamacare will not have any material impact on them, as they tend to provide health insurances to employees who work 25 hours per week for long years. Will it remain “Something for everyone”???

Boeing

Unsuccessful lobbying by Boeing, it mainly attacked the cost. Obamacare will improve the coverage, quality and in the end will manage the health insurance costs. As for their spokesperson Joseph Tedino, Obamacare will affect their business in a negative way in the future.

CKE (Hardees Owner)

Last year Bloomberg Businessweek noted that the owner of Hardees, Andrew Puzder would start to sell cheaper meats and hire more part-time workers. To curb the cost increase he will grow few restaurants. Hope the customers do not say "Hardee's. Do Not Come on Home “instead of “Hardee’s. Come on Home” after they will get cheap meat packages.

Jimmy John

CEO, Jimmy John Liautaud said to Fox News last year that he is going to slash the work hours of his workers in order to provide them with health insurances under Obamacare. They are soon going to make the work hours 28 hours per week, as it is becoming harder for their business to survive in the US market. Hope not the reduction in work hours and savings of insurance cost will turn the slogan to “freaky slow delivery” from “freaky fast delivery.”

Which small business will be the next on this list? Obamacare, one reason for many issues - What do you say readers?

While no trader is sure about the market trend, every trader tends to analyze the various free nifty options tips provided by experienced professionals and decide to trade based on the most reliable ones.

What Are Option Tips?

Well, this is also called Put to call ratio. This is the proportion between the entire volume of option for the Puts and the Calls of a specific stock. This ratio is of specific interest on stocks that declare their earnings at the close of the day after the market is closed or before the opening of the market.

What to Look For?

• Surf the net and hunt for stocks that are declaring their earnings for a specific day through earnings calendar
• Choose those stocks that have a daily volume of more than 500K.
• When the market is on, explore the option chain for the present month expiration on your desired stock after the stock announcement. You can extend the chain to know in detail about all the option trading during that month. If the options have the largest volume, you can go with the same stock otherwise search for another stock.
• For having a better knowledge about the trend of a particular stock, you can also analyze its reactions for the last announcements of the company during the past four or five quarters. You need to check for the direction of the movement, and if the stock continues to move in the same way as its gap after the announcement of earnings on the day of trading, it is a good indication  
• If you feel that movement is upwards, then go for the call option at the close of the day or on day opening before the announcement is made. Buy a Put if you feel it is a down play. You can buy the option when it is nearer to the money the potential profit will be bigger.
• You may wish to choose the option that is cheaper enough to minimize your risk factor. If you have a higher risk tolerance, you are free to take the higher risk during the day after the announcement. If the stocks move in your favorable direction, you will reap greater profits and you might wish to ride further for increasing your profit.

Socially Devoted To Customers! – What Does Your ROI Say?

Is your business socially devoted to your customers?

What ROI does your business generate for being attentive to your customers?

Why I began with these two questions. Since, social dedication is an important factor that all business must embrace in 2013.

How will you effectively engage your business on the social platform?  -  Choose a social networking site, say Facebook. Open a Facebook Page for your business, actively engage yourself with the customers in a conversation, respond to their opinion or questions in real-time and stay socially devoted to your fan base.

Do You Know Where You Missed the Target?

On an average, both small and large companies responds only 5% of the questions asked to them on their Facebook Wall. Moreover, 70% of the questions among them which companies receive across all social media sites – from Twitter to Yelp – actually go unanswered.

A fact that will surprise you – 1 out of 4 global companies has shut their Facebook Wall, to stop the customers from posting their feeds, complaints about the company.

Gosh, now do you know where you have dropped the ball. Why your ROI has crashed so insignificantly? To bring back the image of your business brand you have to be socially devoted.

There are three common models of Social Media Engagement. See in which group you belong to–

·         

      NO ENGAGEMENT – employees and customer are separate, maintain a distance.

INDIVIDUAL ENGAGEMENT – employees can engage themselves with one customer at a time.

COMPANY-WIDE ENGAGEMENT – use of social media tools, helps members to communicate with all members in their community.

Check out this statistic, which shows how a company escalates their ROI, when they are socially devoted to their customers.

ROIs FOR BEING ATTENTIVE TO CUSTOMERS
IMPROVED MARKETING	85%
MARKET SHARE/ INCREASED SALES	80%
IMPROVED BRAND OR STOCK VALUE	70%
COLLABORATION WITH PARTNERS	70%
IMPROVED PRODUCT/SERVICE QUALITY	70%
INNOVATION	65%
RETENTION	62%
DECREASED COSTS	40%

According to the study done by the Socialbakers, Facebook has 5 devoted industries, gaining large ROI with their Facebook engagement.  These include –

§  

      Airline - 60.4% response rate on the Facebook Fan page

Finance – 55% response rate on the Facebook Fan Page

Retail – 46.4% response rate on the Facebook Fan Page

      Fashion – 43.6% response rate on the Facebook Fan page

§  

      Electronics – 41.5% response rate on the Facebook Fan page

Attention Business – It Takes A Lot To Be Socially Dedicated!

(Picture courtesy: http://www.socialbakers.com)

Here, we are going to state some of the best ways to make your business stay committed to the customers.

STAY AWARE- The Customers are trying to reach out to you, because they want to stay connected with you. In order to make your customer stay loyal forever, you have to deploy a team who will track the conversations about the brand, respond to the crisis, answer the desirable questions and listen to suggestions.

ENGAGE – Ask your Fans to join the conversation on the Facebook page. Even you can join a discussion initiated by a customer, to show that you care about their opinions.

UNDERPROMISE AND OVERDELIVER METHOD – This impresses most of the customers by the outstanding service that they have never expected to receive. You have to acquire the power of thrilling your customers and delivering services faster and better than any other time.

ATTRACTIVE OFFERS – If you want to make the customer attracted to your service, you have to give them exclusive offers. They will eventually spread the good words about you and your brand.

FOLLOW-UP – Once you give the service, follow-up your customers. We know this is a critical situation, where you can find out how satisfied are your customers, and how you can improve their experience.

Devote yourself to the fan base and perk up your ROI graph. Stay ahead and make your brand get popular with few devoted clicks.
