Emailing endusers

[Joe Tito]

Could anyone give some advice on how you typically approach an end user via email/calling? I'm starting to get into domaining and want to know the proper etiquette.

Here's a couple questions I had:

- Do you use email templates, or just plain text emails? Anyone care to share any email templates?
- How do you convince the enduser that they 'NEED' your domain?
- Do you include the price of the domain in the first email, or wait until there's interest from the enduser?
- Do you give your phone numbers, or encourage emails at first?

Already started! Wish I would've read this before I sent out an email blast to end users yesterday!

Is ok as long you learn from your mistakes. There is a learning curve to all this Good Luck.

You should also do some reading on the FCC rules for unsolicited emails (CAN-SPAM Act).

The FCC’s rules require:

• Identification – Unsolicited commercial email sent to non-wireless accounts must be clearly identified as a solicitation or advertisement for products or services.
  
• Offering a Way to Reject Future Messages – Commercial email senders must provide easily-accessible, legitimate ways for recipients to reject future messages from that sender.
  
• Return Address – All commercial email, and email considered transactional and relationship messages (about existing transactions), must contain legitimate return email addresses, as well as the sender’s postal address.
  
• Subject Lines – Commercial email senders must use subject lines that are accurate. Using misleading or bogus subject lines to trick readers into opening messages is prohibited.

Just made my first enduser direct sales call. I got a receptionist, but thrilling none the less!

I can see how this is addicting!

Here's a sample template I got a while back off the "how to find potential endusers thread" :

Hello. My name is(your name here)and I am the owner of the domain name
(your domain). I am contacting you to let you know this domain is available for purchase.
I believe owning this domain will further your online presence and benefit your company.
If you are interested in this domain, please feel free to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your time,

Just tweek it a bit to your liking and remember to put a short subject line. I just use the keywords of the domain. Ex: custom jewelry if your domain is customjewelry.com.
