E-mailers can be a powerful weapon in your marketing plan. They help to create trust among your customers, increases Brand visibility and establishes the Brand in the minds of the readers.

Here are a few tips to help you take your E-mailers to the Web 2.0 standards.

1. Empathize your audience.

Though your E-mailer’s ultimate goal is to promote your business, its primary function is to build relationships with prospects and customers. Be sure to discuss topics that are relevant and interesting to your readers. If they know they’ll be getting useful information, they’ll continue to subscribe.

2. Successful writers make it unique.

If you want your E-mailer to get noticed, make it different. Adding a touch of personalization by including a photograph from your official event can help the mail to stand out. Don’t be afraid to portray emotion and personality.

3. Right design makes sense

A good visual can speak mor than 1,000 words and it has got a lot to do with its success. The right design can captivate your audience before they read a single word. Create a design that is clean, simple, elegant and reinforces your brand.

4. Request for feedback

Always prepared to get commented back. Ask your readers for comments on your articles or writeups. They’ll feel welcomed and you will get feedbacks on what you can do to improve and what your readers really like.

5. Do not forget to Include your contact information

A E-mailer for sure will get you regular sales. So make sure readers have a way to reach you if they feel the urge to buy now.

Follow the above steps and your E-mailer will help convert your readers into lifelong customers.

15th March 1985 – A significant date in .com Industry

25 years ago, computer manufacturer Symbolics, Inc, registered the first .com web domain ever: www.symbolics.com. By today’s design standards, and considering how websites looked back in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it’s quite decent, although a bit short on content.

However, its content and even the (now defunct) company that registered it are far less important than the boom it ignited: In 1997, more than one million .com web domains were registered, and in 2000 the .com bubble burst, resulting in an inevitable IT slowdown.
.com Crash
The .com crash proved the IT experts that a .com name alone is not sufficient to be succesful. But the coming years proved .com is inevitable and is not very important part of everyone’s online lives. Despite many other top-level domains available, .com is still the most coveted TLD — the one that many people still associate with the world wide web in general.
.com Millionaires
.com has made more than a few hundred Top millionaires around the world. Right now, around 700,000 .com sites are registered every month.
If we were to go back to 1985 and ask this question, “Do you know how many web domains were registered in the whole of 1985?”
Its not more than 6 (Jus six???)
P.S: Well, In 2010 a small web site designing company in any corner of the world would register more than 6 domains on any given working day..!
