Re: Mailing just ONCE for an affiliate offer is pointless and amateur
Hi Paul,
There is a bit of a healthy mix here...
There are certainly plenty of offers that won't convert.
Me mailing a "how to play the piano" offer with an expensive price tag and a weak pitch to a group of truck drivers may land me a sale or 2 if I mail 5, 7, 10 times... but it's a poor conversion.
But, if you know the offer is relevant and the pitch is quality and see a few sales come in from the first mailing... then most of your list needs to be "interrupted" with that SAME offer a few more times to really have the value of it set in before they buy.
Conversely, if you interrupt them with a different offer again and again and again, you lose credibility and they won't understand the value of any of them. Only your super eager hyper responsivess (hint: your minority!) will buy.
