What is an AutoResponder?

An autoresponder is an automatic e-mail response tool. Once configured, the response is sent when someone sends an email to a specific address or fills out a form on your website.

For example, I could set up an autoresponder called subscribe@mysite.com. in the body of the e-mail reply I could have some information about my own company and maybe discount coupons to encourage the recipient to register for the program.

If someone sends an email to subscribe@mywebsite.com receive email response immediately to voice mail information and a discount coupon.

What are the benefits of using autoresponders?

Using autoresponders save alot of time. There is no need to manually send an email to those who inquires about your services.

Also, autoresponders are a powerful marketing tool. For one, you can collect e-mail prospects (the autoresponder asks for their permission) for your database. You can also configure multiple sequential message to go  out to your prospects or customers. In other words, the recipient receives a steady stream of email responses in spaced out time intervals of your choice.

AutoResponders I recommend:

Aweber Autoresponder
GetResponse AutoResponder
