How To Deliver Smarter Auto responders With Send Windows?

Posted on December 28, 2014September 1, 2018 by Ish Sarwar

When sending out emails, it would be great if the follow up emails would deliver themselves only during the days and times that you want and to avoid the days and times that don’t work for your subscribers. This was only available for broadcasting and not for auto responders. That’s all changing.

With AWeber you can deliver your automated follow up messages during the days and times you’ve determined to be best for your subscribers. To see it in action, watch the short video below:

As you can see, you can easily choose which days, and times you want your auto responders to go to your customers and prospects. If you use the geographic awareness feature, AWeber will automatically adjust delivery to each subscriber’s time zone regardless of where they are in the world. If you like, you can send it each morning.

How can this help you to make your email marketing more effective?

It can help you by:

Looking at when your subscribers are opening your email and/or clicking your links. AWeber’s opens over time and clicks over time show this. Then you can adjust your send windows so your messages that stand out at the top of the inbox during those times.
Running a weekend sale – You can schedule one of your follow ups to only send on Friday mornings.
Finding out if there’s certain days or times that you know are bad for your subscribers – You can send windows to avoid sending during those days/times.

These are just a few of the ways you can start to increase your response rates with send windows. There’s many more ways to use them. I’m sure when you give it a go, you’ll find more creative ways to use them.

AWeber’s Smart Video Thank You Pages

Posted on December 27, 2014September 1, 2018 by Ish Sarwar

The thank you page is the first thing a subscriber sees after signing up to your email marketing campaign. It does a lot to establish expectations about your campaign. It’s also where you can knock their socks off. An awesome thank you page can get subscribers excited about receiving your emails and making each and every broadcast you send a celebratory occasion for them or at least get more email opens.

Smart Video thank you pages are the happy medium between AWeber’s default thank you page and your own custom URL. AWeber will pass the subscriber form data to the page so that everyone who signs up to your list gets a unique experience. This is your subscriber’s name with your confirmation subject line rather than a generic “check your inbox” message. It’s as simple as choosing a Smart Video Version from the page drop down menu.

The smart thank you page will pick out the subscriber’s email provider and adjust the video accordingly. So, if someone enters an email address that includes @gmail.com, they’ll see a video telling them to check their Gmail inbox. Likewise with Yahoo, Hotmail and many more.

A good looking web form makes a great first impression on a subscriber but an engaging thank you page is just as important. You can shape expectations and build anticipation, all the while directing the subscriber to their inbox. One extra thing to note is that these thank you pages are only available with confirmed opt-in.

3 Steps To More Sales By Split Testing

Posted on December 27, 2014September 1, 2018 by Ish Sarwar

Have a look at the last email promotion you sent. Open it up. How is your subject? Is it interesting enough to open? What about your call to action? Is it intriguing that you want to click it? Great but opens and clicks only measure interest. That’s not your end goal though. Your goal is to make more sales. It’s the revenue from customers purchases that keeps you afloat. So, the broadcast’s true worth can be measured in the sales it generates. The trick is to find out how to put the message together that prompts the most purchases. With just a little setup, you can do this with your AWeber account.

The first step is to set up sales tracking. You need to make sure you’re tracking the sales you’re getting from each broadcast. You can do this with the sales tracking feature.

The second step is to tweak your promotional broadcast. The idea is to see if a different version will sell more, so you’ll need to create another version. You could tweak your call to action, your text to image ratio, your pre header, your format and your images and copy.

The third step is to split test for the winning design. Use the broadcast split testing feature in AWeber to figure out which design will generate more sales. This feature sends each version to a randomly selected, equally sized audience to get the most accurate results. After the broadcasts go out, follow the Quick Stats for each version to keep track of sales. When you find the winning design, you know which one to use for future promotions.

I highly recommend you to do sales tracking and split testing. It will help to get a lot more profitable.

Why You Need Sign Up Forms That Are Mobile Responsive?

Posted on December 23, 2014September 1, 2018 by Ish Sarwar

If you’re like most business owners, you most likely know about the influence of mobile devices on your website’s ability to retain and convert visitors. Check out these statistics:

According to Microsoft, mobile internet usage is on the verge of overtaking desktop internet usage.
According to a 2013 study by Pew Internet, 60% of mobile phone owners use their phones to access websites.
61% of people have a better option of a company when it offers a good mobile experience.

This is why many companies have mobile responsive designs that look great on smartphones and on other mobile devices.

AWWeber also made changes that make it easier for people visiting your site from mobile devices to interact with your site and to join your mailing list.

AWeber’s Mobile Responsive Sign Up Forms

When you create sign up forms in AWeber, they’ll automatically resize themselves so they’re usable for mobile users.

Why This Affects You?

It’s very common for websites to publish email sign up forms on their website. Most of the time, the forms look fine on the computer. However, the forms look horrible on mobile devices. If you’ve seen a mostly great-looking experience but with a sign up form that wasn’t responsive, it may have looked like this:

Did you notice how disruptive that is? It’s not what you’d want your visitors to see. A much better experience for visitors is one where the form adjusts to the smaller mobile screen, like the one shown below:

Do you see how that form is more user-friendly and more likely to get filled out? If you don’t want to fill it out, you can actually see and press the X to close it?

AWeber’s Mobile Responsive Forms

There’s some good news. All of the hundreds of sign up form templates that are available in your AWeber account are now ready to look great on mobile devices. So any new form you create will automatically be mobile responsive.

What are you waiting for? Give AWeber mobile forms a try. To create a new form, just login to your AWeber account and click on Sign Up Forms in your account.
