Make the Most of Business Cards

When you meet people in person for any reason, be sure to offer them your business card and ask for theirs. This will also help you increase your social circle, but it will also go a long way toward building a killer email list. If you have a physical business site, place a special box at the reception desk in your office or store, and ask your visitors or customers to drop their business cards in it. You do something different to encourage people to do so. It could be anything like a free service, gift, or product. Offer special discounts on the back of your card to persuade visitors to subscribe to your email campaigns.

Host an Event

You can stage an event to gather people for the promotion of your business. You can drop invitations at neighboring businesses, advertise in the local media outlets, post a notice on your front door or distribute flyers or something along those lines. You can hire and book a public figure to create a lot of buzz for your event. You will have a great opportunity to market your business and increase the number of subscribers to your email campaigns.

Offer a Freebie

You may use your existing email list or even snail mail to send people a card asking for their email information and reward them for doing so. This will go a long way toward building an email list.
