It implies that you would have obtained the willing consent of subscribers to provide you with their names and email addresses. This reflects an ethical behavior on your part.

Below are proven tips that will help you to achieve effective opt-in marketing:

(1) Construct a really good opt-in box

(2) Customers are ensured their rights to choose to opt-in

As far as opt-in marketing is concerned, customers are given the right to choose to participate in the opt-in, by providing their first names and email addresses. They have the implied equivalent right of consensual marketing. They can choose not to provide any details at all. They have this special right. No doubts about it.

Only those who express interest and need what you are offering will provide their names and email addresses.  Effective opt-in marketing ensures that your list consists of qualified prospects that will support your campaign strategy. Half the battle is won.

Opt-in marketing as said above is similar to permission-granted marketing. There will not be any issue of ethics as far as getting first names and email addresses are concerned.

(5) Opt-in box must be easy to use

Ideally, the opt-in should indicate only three things: First Name, Primary Email Address, button for “Sign me up now”. Of course, do not forget to put in your Privacy Policy, that will provide subscribers with the confidence that their first names and email addresses are in safe hands.

(6) Schedule efficiently for follow-up emails

Effective opt-in marketing requires you to engage an autoresponder for the sole purpose of dispatching follow-up emails to your new subscribers. These emails can be scheduled for certain number of days interval.  In such emails, always highlight the special benefits that your product or service can give them.  It is good to give them a free newsletter  or ebook to read on related topics.

(7) Retention of subscribers

As the subscriber list builds up, you must ensure to retain every one of them. Keep building the relationship that you have initiated with them.  Try to keep their trust and confidence.  They are precious to your online business.

In conclusion, you can achieve an effective opt-in marketing system only if you ensure that communications are efficient, and that strategic plans for the growth and retention of your subscriber list are firmly in place.
