Internet has come to stay, e-commerce has come to
stay as well and Auto-responder must surely exist. There is money in the list
they say and this remains true. You entice a customer with gifts or service in
order for them to give you their email address and you in turn forward to them
about your goods on the internet thereby drawing their attention to your
product and how reliable you are. For an
effective online supermarket, an auto-responder is their soul mate. It will be
hectic on you banging email to thousands of your customers that comes to your
site in search of one thing or the other. Therefore with this idea of
auto-responder, you can comfortably set it up within an hour and it will be
there doing your work for you.
Be careful not to use your auto-responder
improperly. Having one auto-responder respond to another auto-responder, for
example, can be chaotic and could cause server overload. This situation occurs
when you sign up for something using your auto-responder address. After the
sign up, your message is sent to another person’s auto-responder, which
responds to your auto-responder – and this continues until it is manually
stopped. Second, be aware that certain words or phrases used
in your messages will automatically activate spam filters. When
used responsibly, then, auto-responders can prove to be important automated
tools for helping the success of your online business.
