Autoresponder Scenario

Here is a popular scenario, just one of the many ways in which you can use autoresponders.

The Challenge

A user has shown interest in your product and has subscribed for a 30-day free trial of your product. Your challenge here is to engage the prospect in your product and follow-up with right email messages to win the deal. This is a real-life Drip Marketing situation where autoresponders can be used.

The Scenario

  • A visitor to your web site submits the web form and signs up for a 30-day trial period of your product.
  • An auto-generated Thank you / Welcome email is sent to the user. 
  • User's (lead) details are listed in the CRM under a custom view (eg: Today's Leads).
  • Autoresponder is initiated.
  • Day 1 - 'Getting Started' email is sent to the user.
  • Day 2 - 'Support and Feedback Information' email is sent.
  • Day 5 - 'Product Updates' email is sent.
  • Day 15 - 'Purchase Offer' email is sent.
  • Day 25 - 'Reminder' email is sent.
Note
  1. If the user subscribes to the product and is excluded from the mailing list, then the follow-up emails that come after will not be sent.

The procedure to set up an autoresponder

  1. Click the Leads tab.
  2. In the Leads Home page, under Lead Tools, click the Autoresponders link.

Note
  1. If the user subscribes to the product, during the follow-up process, the user's email address should be excluded from the mailing list. On excluding the email address, the successive follow-up emails will not be sent to the user.
