Lead generation for new businesses with Email List Marketing

The most challenging thing for a business is to make clients and customers and to do that one needs a marketing strategy, especially if you are a startup. Every day dozens of startups are introduced and most of them are related to technology. In such market, it's very hard to make a presence let alone converting it into a brand. So the companies are opting for various marketing strategies in order to benefit and have successful marketing campaigns.


                                   

There a lot of options available to promote a business online most common of which are social media, content marketing, SEO, SEM or paid marketing (google Adwords, bing, yahoo), and more. But the one channel that remains on top by outperforming the rest is the email. Email has been one of the oldest and most effective ways of promoting and creating awareness of a business among people. So if you are an established business or a startup then you should directly market your products to people who uses similar products like yours. To make this easier there are various email list providers that provide the list of audience based on the type of business you run. 

The email database provided by these companies is highly targeted according to various needs like the kind of technology, location, demographics, and more. For most of the businesses, the major challenge is to get in touch with the people who are on the executive level like CFO, CEO, COO, CXO, and IT executives. The email lists help you by saving your time of finding the contacts or emails of such people as this list comprises of the full database of a business. You can buy mailing lists that are targeted on the basis of a type of business, location, and specialty. One such company that provides mailing list is Emailonbusiness that provides a list like CEO email lists, CFO email list, B2B mailing list, and other types of lists.

The main focus of a business is to have sales conversion and the email lists can help you by providing the database of people already using services or products similar to yours which gives you a lead on them. This lead can be turned into a customer by including a discount or some other kind of offer. For an e-commerce business, email marketing is the best to get sales and to make the task easier you can always buy an opt-in email list which will help increase your ROI and increase the number of successful marketing campaigns. 

Some of the small businesses use top social media sites like facebook, Instagram, and twitter because they are a free tool for marketing (unless you go for the paid marketing, which a small business will find hard to invest in). And, even after so much of work only around 15% of your audience will see the post on your facebook timeline because facebook wants you to invest in their advertising platform which is not an easy task for a small business. So, it's, in fact, a good idea to invest in an opt-in email list which is comparably cheaper and provide more sales conversions than any other social media or paid marketing service.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
