Email marketing is a great strategy. Ask your customers if they would like to sign up to your email list every time you make a sale. Put up some examples of what customers will get if they join your email list, and make it easy to sign up directly from that page. Ask your customers for just their name and email address. Let your customers know you will be sending out useful information, as well discounts, in your emails. Send emails with eye-catching titles to your mailing list regularly. Use email software that adds the person's name to the subject line; this measurably increases open rates. Your email should contain content that you have posted in your website, as well as links to your updated pages. It is good to include special offers at times. If you are having trouble getting people signed up for your newsletter, offer subscribers exclusive deals. Email is also a great way to stay in contact with customers, and develop positive relationships. Use e-mail to send thank you letters for purchases, advertise related products, ask for product reviews, and spread word about upcoming discounts.

Ask your visitors to complete surveys about your site. Trial and error, along with some good logic, will help you to find the tactics that stand the test of time and produce consistent success.
