The Best ROI (Return On Investment) For Small And Local Businesses Is Email Marketing. Learn How To Make $60 Every Time You Spend $1.

So many small and local businesses like yours and mine come in contact with numerous customers/clients every single day. How much would our businesses prosper if we could find a way to capture their information and continually market to them and consistently make money from it?Email marketing is just such a tool. Current leading surveys say that for every $1.00 spent on email marketing it will return to our business slightly less than $60.00. That is one hell’ve a ROI (return on investment.)Here in my town of Grand Ledge, Michigan I have a good friend that owns a paint your own pottery studio. He has a list of about 2500 email addresses of his customers yet he does nothing with that list. He does not actively try to grow the list or market to it. If he did he could be making about (assuming that he spends a $1.00 per person) $14,000 every month or so.Do you think he would be having a hard time in this recession if he was making that kind of money? No. Probably not.What about your business? How much money could you be raking in every time you sent out an email or newsletter? $10,000; $15,000; maybe $20,000; or would it be more?Here check out this video and see what I mean:

Do your self a favor: Start collecting emails from all your customers/clients and send them an email and/or newsletter every so often.Don’t have the time or knowledge to do it? That’s fine. I will do it for you. Just email me at jae@thesuccessfulbiz.com or give me a call at 517-488-3783 and I’ll gladly give you a quote for my services. I guarantee it will be very affordable.

Happy New Year
It’s plain to see that I’m an optimist, sometimes more than is socially comfortable. The ease with which I dismiss the disastrous economic decline above serves as one example of that. I wrote that the recession will benefit our political system, and, before I cut this line, as having “rewarded our company for methodical execution and ruthless efficiency by removing competitors from the landscape.” I make no mention of the disastrous effects on millions of people, and the great uncertainty that grips any well-briefed mind, because it truly doesn’t stand in the foreground of my mind (despite suffering personal loss of wealth). Our species is running towards a precipice with looming dangers like economic decline, political unrest, climate crisis, and more threatening to grip us as we jump off the edge, but my optimism is stronger now than ever before. On the other side of that looming gap are extraordinary breakthroughs in healthcare, communications technology, access to space, human productivity, artistic creation and literally hundreds of fields. With the right execution and a little bit of luck we’ll all live to see these breakthroughs — and members of my generation will live to see dramatically lengthened life-spans, exploration and colonization of space, and more opportunity than ever to work for passion instead of simply working for pay. Instead of taking this space to regale you with the many personal and focused changes I intend to make in 2009, let me rather encourage you to spend time this year thinking, as I’m going to, more about what we can do in 2009 to positively affect the future our culture will face in 2020, 2050, 3000 and beyond.
