How To Build A List Using Free Giveaway Events
Saturday, November 25, 2006
There are a number of different ways in which you can get
people to join your mailing list; however, participating in
free giveaway events is perhaps the eaiest and most
cost-effective of all. The only problem you will encounter is
actually figuring out how to participate in such events. So how
can you do it?
The first way in which you can build a mailing list through
free giveaway events is to actually create the events yourself.
You can do this by organizing other business owners in your
given niche and asking them if they are interested in giving
away products in order to build mailing lists. In most cases,
you will want to use some sort of event as a reason for
conducting the giveaway. Perhaps you will organize a massive
Christmas giveaway - or perhaps you will use some other
Holiday. Regardless of what event you select, remember to use
some sort of a premise to help it build momentum.
Once you have selected a premise, you will also want to start
contacting everyone who sells a product in your given niche.
This works especially well if you contact business owners who
sell multiple products - some of which are relatively old. They
will usually be looking to make some money off of older products
by giving them away for free.
Let each of your potential partners know upfront what you plan
to do. Let them know that you plan to organize a giveaway
event, in which all product owners will allow visitors to
download free copies of their software in exchange for
providing them with an email address.
You can organize this in several different ways. One way is to
allow each owner who joins to give away all the products of all
the members in exchange for email addresses. Another way is to
attempt to get several different email addresses per giveaway
sign-up. The first is probably a better option to select if you
are creating it yourself, as it is more likely to attract
partners.
Now, if you don't want to start such an event yourself, you can
always wait for someone else in your given niche to organize it
for you. Again, look out for these events around Holidays,
including Christmas and New Years.
Once you actually get the email addresses of those who sign up
for the products, you will then want to carefully cultivate
them into buyers. You may want to do this by either using an
autoresponder or sending out periodic emails before you ever
try to pitch anything.
