Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,
Hemen Parekh

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

FW: e-mail marketing


Shuklendu,

This email from Gopinath is a " Pointer "

He wants to make an offer to only Chennai-based companies

In each city , there will be individuals ( self-employed ) or small businesses , who want to offer their products / services , to other businesses in their OWN CITY - irrespective of the Industry Sectors

Eg :

>  Pinto wants to offer Security Services to businesses in Mumbai only

>  Mhatre wants to offer Courier Services to businesses in Kolkata only

>  Raghu wants to offer Broadband Services to businesses in Delhi only

It just does NOT matter , as to which Industry Sector those companies are operating in

LOCATION is the only governing criteria for such LOCAL businesses

The way , our BLAST MESSAGE page is structured today , it is NOT possible for such local businesses to select ALL businesses operating within a given city, quickly

They would need to select , one Industry after another ( 52 times ) , and their city of choice ( 52 times ) , to be able to send their message !

Can we do something to make it easy for targeting ALL companies in a given city ?

Dear  Gopinath


Thank you for writing

Unfortunately , we are not in a position to supply you the database of Chennai-based Companies , as requested, although , I think , there must be over 10,000 such Companies in our online database at.......'


listed according to 52 Industry-Sectors

Eg:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sector.................................................. No of Companies listed in Chennai
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hospitality / Hotels etc..............................  339

Shipping................................................      67

Industrial Consumables............................    726....... and so on for all the 52 Industry Sectors

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By registering on B2B , you can,



then,

Blast that message to those 10,000 + Chennai-based companies


It will take , only a few minutes  !


And sending those 10,000 Messages ( as Emails ) will cost you , mere Rs 2,000 / -  !- which you can make Online Payment , using your Credit Card , on our page............ Re-Charge Account

If you face any problems , feel free to phone me on 0-98,67,55,08,08

Wishing you good luck ,


with regards,


Andheri , Mumbai

RE: Creating OPT-IN database for B2B


Tanishq,

From my yesterday's email ( " Free Listing " page write-up ) , you must have noticed that I have conceived of two separate Registration pages , viz:

> for FREE LISTING        ( Bare Min Form )

> for Regular Registration ( Full Form )


Very broadly speaking , the benefits being offered to subscribers of these 2 levels are as follows :

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What can I get from this site ?...... FREE LISTING.............. FREE FULL Registration.............PAID Subscription

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

* Will I receive messages blasted
  by PAID subscribers ?..................... Yes................................... Yes....................................Yes

* Can I respond to messages ,

  > Received as Emails..................... Yes..................................... Yes .................................... Yes

  > Shown on page,
    " Hoarding of the World " ? ........... Yes........................................Yes...................................Yes

  > Shown on page,
    " Message Search " ?...................... Yes.......................................Yes .................................... Yes


*  Can I compose Message ?.............   NO.......................... Only ONE message......................... Any Number

*  Can I blast a Message  ?...............   NO ......................... Only to 1000 Cos(Joining Bonus )....  Any Number

*  Can I use Re-Charge A/c page ?...... NO...........................    Yes .......................................    Of Course

*  Will I get Re-Charge Bonus ?...........NO.............................   Yes........................................   Of Course

*  Can I see My Campaign Feedback ?... NO...........................   NO............................................Of Course

*  Can I see " Campaign Analytics " ?
   ( based on Netcore Dashboard ).......  NO............................  NO............................................Of Course
   ( yet to be developed )

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By a copy of this email , I am asking my colleague Kailas , to email to you , U/I and Page Write-ups for pages ,

Hoarding of the World

Message Search

Both of these are yet to be developed by Shuklendu's team

Does this tabulation adequately describe , the BENEFITS that the FREE LISTING offers ?

If you agree , then this ( Tabulation ) can itself be made into a separate page on B2B , called :

" WHAT IS IN IT FOR ME ? "

Dear Hemenji - It's been pleasure.

Here are my thoughts:

I would like to be part of your list if I see value in what you are going to send me which is not coming out from the 2 options given below. Can we think on the lines of what I will receive and will help me in my business. Also 1000 joining bonus (people might not understand how useful your credit s are unless they are explained about it)

Tanishq ,


At the outset  , I wish to thank you for the time you spent with us yesterday , explaining the finer points of E-Mail Marketing , in the context of B2B

I appreciate your suggestion to create a page on B2B , where Companies / Organizations can register , exclusively as RECIPIENTS of messages

Over the next few days , I will apply my mind as to precise structure of such a registration and will share with you , my detailed proposal when ready , for your comments / suggestions

You will recall that , during our discussions , I mentioned re our plan to introduce a JOINING BONUS of 1000 Free emails, as an incentive for visitors to sign-up ( Register )

Now , I propose that , on our SUBSCRIBER REGISTRATION page , we add the following additional WRITE-UP , just ABOVE the Registration Form :



YOUR  OPTIONS :


Dear Visitor,


Before starting to fill-up the Form below , please select one of the following Options


( * ) ….. Please treat me as a FREE SUBSCRIBER and add my details to your RECIPIENT DATABASE , to enable me to “ Receive “ messages from
            Your other PAID SUBSCRIBERS


( * )…… Please credit my Account with 1,000 FREE emails ( JOINING BONUS ) , to enable me to send out ONE marketing message , as a trial. I
            understand that I have NO OBLIGATION what-so-ever , to become a PAID subscriber later on , although I will receive messages



I feel , such an intervention , will serve at least some purpose , towards OPT In, and is , comparatively simpler to do

What do you think ?
