Start by getting an authorization to send emails from your customers. You could place a subscription form on your site or blog and get people to sign up for a monthly newsletter or occasional email alerts to learn about your discounts. You should also add an option to sign up for email alerts or your newsletter on the page where customers can order products. Save these email addresses on a secure server or on a computer and do not share them with anyone else. You should never send promotional emails to customers who did not sign up for your distribution list.

If you want to send out a newsletter, make it more personal by adding your customers' name in the subject line. You could also send out slightly different newsletters with for instance a different selection of products advertised in function of what your customers are interested in. This can easily be done by using a professional emailing software: divide your customers into different groups and send out a slightly different newsletter to each group. This software will also allow you to personalize your email by including the customer's name.

Send out personal promotional emails to your customers. You should go through your distribution list and select a few customers who have bought a lot of products from you before. Send them an email to wish them a happy birthday, thank them for being a good customer, or simply let them know you are launching a new product they might be interested in. Keep these emails short and straight to the point. Select a small group of customers every time and try emailing a different group every week but do not waste your time with subscribers who have never ordered anything from you.

Send out automated emails when a customer orders a product and encourage them to answer to these emails if they have questions or comments about their order. This is a great way to get some feedback about your products. If you do not hear anything from a customer, wait a few weeks and send out a personal email to ask them if the received the product and find out how satisfied they are. You should also list your email address on your site, blog and on social networks and encourage people to get in touch with you if they have questions or complaints. Check your emails regularly and do your best to help your customers or anyone who seems interested in your products. Do not hesitate to get a customer to call you on the phone if you think their question or problem is too complex to be solved via email.

Make good use of these tips and do some research about your target audience to adapt these methods to your customers. Keep track of your results and look for ways to improve your email marketing campaign.
