Auto-responders are just that, they are programs set up to automatically respond when an email is sent to a certain email address, this can include a question, blank mail for a newsletter sign up and most of all a sale.
Basically Auto-responders make your information available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and greatly reduce your e-mail workload, I use auto responders for:
• Newsletter sign ups
• Customer support (FAQ's)
• Sales
Using auto-responders for newsletter sign ups enables you to send a confirmation e-mail to the person who has committed to your newsletter. In this auto-responder you can include your download links to free items.
Imagine receiving 100 newsletter sign ups per day and have to deal with everyone individually you would just not have the time. Customer support is particularly relevant to any new products or products you seem to be receiving a lot of inquiries about. Auto-responders allow you to set up predefined answers to the most likely questions about your products or services. Once again this will save you large amounts of time answering repetitive questions to multiple e-mails. Using auto-responders for sales is another way to save time but also creating time for the buyer. Not all of us can be at our desks 24/7 to monitor received e-mails regarding a sale, so an auto-responder is the perfect solution. Set your auto responder to forward your product zip file, URL, download link, or whatever sources you use and your client will almost immediately receive their item. This will gain you respect in the form of reliability from your customers. A great thing about auto-responders is they all collect e-mail addresses whether it be a sale or an inquiry and all of these can be added to your mailing list. Auto responders can even be set up to email these people at designated times of the day, week, month or year.
