How to Expand Your Email Address Book

Too much of everything may be bad, but have you ever seen anyone say that they have enough leads?

Probably not! Because, no business ever has enough leads.

It’s good to always be on the lookout for exciting opportunities to generate leads and expand business.

So, how exactly do you go about? You may have bought a subscription to a nice contact management system but how do you actually expand your contact list?

Sustain Your Existing Contacts

To begin with, the first way to increase the number of contacts in your email address book is to create quality email content and sustain the contacts you have.

If you still don’t have software to manage your email list, you may begin using a free address book, and shift to a paid version once you get a hang of it.

It’s easier to retain an existing lead than finding a new one. Hence, rather than going all-out after new leads, sustain good business relationships with the ones you already have.

And, how do you do that? By sending them high-quality, occasional emails relevant to what they are looking for.

Target Various Buyer Personas

A nice way to send targeted emails is to segment your customers according to buyer personas and reach out to them with targeted content.

Include attractive CTAs in your emails and use content offers to keep them engaged. Reach out to your subscribers with high-value content, which they like sharing forward with their friends and colleagues, this way you’d get new subscribers on your own.

Organize Webinars

Yet another attractive way to increase your subscribers list is to organize contests or webinars on your website and invite people to participate. This can be a huge, instant boost to your email address book.

Gated Content

Next, you could also promote gated content through your social media channels and request people to get it in exchange for their email addresses.

Furthermore, you could even create a social media group and request people for their email addresses as they join.

There is a never ending list of ways to collect email addresses from people, but if there is something at the very heart of it, it is high-quality, value-oriented content.

If you are sharing something that nobody is sharing, you’d get people interested. If you have something to share that nobody else has got, they would love to subscribe to your email updates and possibly so, buy your product or service. It’s all about how creative you get!
