A story about how a sick business got better.
I’d like to share a common story we come across more often every day.
It’s about a business who subscribed to a popular, overseas email software company for sending email blasts to their database.
Over the last 15 years they had built their database from past customers, enquires, competitions and promotions, all with the intention of sending regular email newsletters to keep their company name ‘front-mind’ to their database contacts. They had a very healthy database of 20,000 people!
After a while the response rates declined. People were not opening, making contact or sales enquires anymore.
“Quick! Let’s start posting on social media. All our competitors are there, so we better be there too” they said.
Sure enough, they soon accumulated thousands of Likes and Followers and they were happy… until they realised those Likes, Smiles, Hearts or Congratulations, were not converting to sales.
They spent more money on social media to try and get more Likes than their competitors. Their competitors also spent more money on social media to outperform everyone else. In the end, the social media platforms became the place to compare Likes on posts – great for awareness, but what about actual sales?
When business was getting a bit tough and budgets were being cut, they returned to their email database and realised the software they were still subscribing to, wasn’t supporting their business needs.
What they thought was a database was actually just lots of email lists full of duplicate contacts, inaccurate information, and most of all, they didn’t know anything about any of their potential customers.
They had been sending a singular email message to everyone in the database, regardless if they were interested in that topic or not. This was why people began to unsubscribe, not respond or make contact anymore.
They knew they needed to re-engage their database. And fast.
What happened next?
Our clients told us their frustration in having to employ someone from their own company to manage and run whichever software platform they subscribed to.
They didn’t want to become the expert in using special software, thinking of content, managing the database, creating professional emails and doing it all regularly enough that it continues to grow their business – and covered their cost to run it and pay for the subscription.
