Drip marketing is when you regularly 'drip' information to prospective and current clients/customers.

Sending out an advertisement for a product or service only once is unlikely to have much of an effect, if any at all, on sales, but when people see advertisements many times, the message will at some point 'stick' in their minds or grab their attention. It gives a better impression, even on a subconscious level, of permanence or continuity of a product, service or brand.

I first heard of 'the trickle effect', as it was known by, many years ago when I had my bricks-and-mortar business. The internet was still in it's infancy for marketing purposes, so most marketing was offline. At that time, I was advised that prospects for my particular business, private tuition for children, needed to see my adverts on average 7 times before 'making the call'.

So, I would send leaflets out with the local newspaper, drop leaflets through house doors, display posters in community centres and schools, ask schools to distribute leaflets, hold charity events which led to being featured in local newspaper. I even held prize draws in the town's schools where the winner would win a year's free tuition. Then of course there was word-of-mouth, this of course was the best one, as it was given by parents and teachers who had already seen the benefits to the children of my classes.

By the time I received a telephone call, my new customer would often say "Well, I got this leaflet a few months ago, and I saw your article in the paper. I've been meaning to call but forgot until my friend mentioned today that her son comes to your classes". It was not just one advert that led to them making a call, it was the 'trickle effect' , the drip, drip, drip of several encounters with my brand.

Now we have the internet, the same principle applies, and we have more opportunities with online methods of marketing, however it is even more important to use the drip marketing strategy because there is a lot more competition with customers being exposed to many more adverts every day.
Some online methods are:
- social media marketing
- classified ads
- PPC
- your own website, SEO optimised so it can be found in google searches
- and by far the best method, by building an email list, by offering perhaps a free business report, or a free TC Gift Card, so you know that your subscribers are interested in whatever you are offering, whether it be a work-at-home business, or online shopping or auctions.
- your Genealogy, even your inactive downline, can all be exposed to your drip marketing, by sending regular newsletters out, maybe they are not ready for the opportunity when they first sign up, but perhaps will notice and take action a few months along the line.

Your Genealogy and email lists are 'captive audiences' where you can contact the same people on several, or many, occasions.

There are many more methods available, for both online and offline promotion, in SFI's Marketing Center:
https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter

Your advertising should also follow a DRIP strategy, where the acronym DRIP stands for:
D - Differentiate - how does your product or service compare with others, how is it better?
R - Reinforce your brand message
I - Inform or make people aware of your brand
P - Persuade your audience to behave in a particular way, e.g. signup to be an affiliate, buy products at TripleClicks or take part in auctions or games

The more often people see your adverts, the more places your adverts are seen, the higher your chance of recruitment and sales.

Remember - many drips fill a bucket, and even an ocean!

This is defined through Wikipedia as:

"Drip Marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or "drips," a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over time".

"Drip marketing" strategy may be used with e-mail, social media or use of regular mail. This is simply having timed communication with those that are part of your distribution lists. Drip Marketing is also known as Auto responders.

I ,personally, do not use this in my SFI business as I wish to connect with people as a profile to profile matching rather than simply send out a form message or memo to people on my distribution list because of my marketing needs. I have used Auto-responders as a way to generate leads and then from that have taken the leads to connect with them personally and customized responses to them based on how he or she responds to the Auto-responder questionaire they took the time to respond to

Connecting with people and businesses is critical for the growth of our SFI businesses so if the use of Drip Marketing approach is preferred then be sure to consider all the information that is available through SFI about the use of such networking strategy so as not to be mis-interpreted as Spamming.

This is a strategy that you may want to use or not use. The choice is up to you but be sure that if you choose to use Drip Marketing that it does not have people think that SFI spams people as this will not attract new affiliates but push people away.

Happy Building!

Hello,

The drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or will "dripping" a set of pre-written messages to clients or candidates over time. These messages usually take the form of email marketing, although they may be used other media, is characteristic:
1 the meaning of the messages follows a predetermined path
2 messages have a specific behavior

The drip marketing can be used as a function and as a qualification process of lead generation.However The drip marketing is popularly used as a sales tool, particularly in long cycles of sale,items of greater value or sales at company level.

In my opinion, the best way to use drip marketing in SFI business is using this tool to a target audience, and a product / service that you already have a proper planning for knowing who you will sell.

Curiosity:
The term "drip marketing" derived from "water drip" technique of farming / gardening that constitutes release limited quantities of water for watering plants over long time periods

My best regards

Drip marketing is a direct marketing strategy that involves sending out several promotional adverts over a period of time to a subset of sales leads.

It was developed in response to the "Law of 29" in which many marketers believe that an average "prospect" will not turn into a client until they've viewed their marketing message at least 29 times. I do believe in the need to stay in touch with my current and prospective clients in order for them to purchase from me. There are too many competitors out there..
An effective way to use drip marketing is to consistently do something each month to keep your name in front of your current clients and prospective clients. By doing this you diminish the sell-produce curve and will find that you will have a steady amount of business coming in the door.
Drip marketing requires a plan of action. Using this plan and following it throughout the year guarantee that my marketing campaign will be consistent all year long.
.
Using available marketing resources in SFI, I focus on the 3 step Plan and the Plan. From there, I will list a plan of actions and goals.to develop a productive drip marketing campaign:
Step 1: Develop my Plan by referring to: https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics3Steps
(Plan something EVERY month) and https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan 9(for the whole year)
Step 2: Strategize the Execution of Your Plan @ https://www.sfimg.com/SFIBasics
Step 3: Decide who your Target is. Use marketing ads and methods @ https://www.sfimg.com/Resources/MarketingCenter
Step 4: Create consistency by developing your slogan or phrase. Then place it on every promotional and marketing piece. Using promoting and marketing adverts and gateways to have consistent and customized adverts.
I will use X-cards ,e-cards , newsletters email newsletter (Be careful of spam filters) and promotional or Sales Brochures to send to my prospects on Deal of the Day, discounts and awards.

Drip marketing campaign as a way to nurture my current and potential clients. My campaign should keep them aware of your products and services. With this thought in mind my campaign will succeed.
The kind of information I want to include in my drip emails will vary depending on the nature of the campaign. My goal is to keep my prospects thinking about me, I might send them bits of useful information at regular intervals. I can send links to material I found elsewhere, along with a bit of commentary.

I periodically test new types of content or email designs for my drip marketing campaigns. I divide my email list into two different groups, and send the old version to one group and the new version to the other. If the new template gets a bigger response than the old one, I can then roll out the new template in future emails to my whole list..

So drip marketing is not one-off campaign but sporadic or staggering over time.

Drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or "drips," a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over time. These messages often take the form of email marketing, although other media can also be used.

Drip marketing is distinct from other database marketing in two ways: (1) the timing of the messages follows a pre-determined course; (2) the messages are dripped in a series applicable to a specific behavior or status of the recipient. It is also typically automated. Widely used ways can be:

1. Email. The most commonly used form of drip marketing is email marketing, due to the low cost associated with sending multiple messages over time. Email drip marketing is often used in conjunction with a Form (web) in a method called an autoresponder.

2. Direct mail. Although more costly, direct mail software has been developed that enables drip marketing techniques using standard postal mail. This technology relies on digital printing, where low-volume print runs are cost justifiable, and the variable data can be merged to personalize each drip message.

3. Social media. The principles of drip marketing have been applied in many social media marketing tools to schedule a series of updates.

Drip marketing can be used as a function of the lead generation.

With the above understanding it becomes clear that how useful a tool it can be in generating PSAs or PRMs from your warm or cold market segment?

Simply create a message with ad works with simple but self targeting text to propagate your message across to your target segment and get new sign ups. With new W3 links it can become a potent strategy to boost your income through new sign ups.

Hello Ronald

Let’s first get to know what is Drip Marketing _ Drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or "drips," a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over time. These messages often take the form of email marketing, although other media can also be used.

Drip marketing is distinct from other database marketing in two ways: (1) the timing of the messages follow a pre-determined course; (2) the messages are dripped in a series applicable to a specific behavior or status of the recipient. It is also typically automated

Email. The most commonly used form of drip marketing is email marketing, due to the low cost associated with sending multiple messages over time. Email drip marketing is often used in conjunction with a Form (web) in a method called an autoresponder.

Direct mail. Although more costly, direct mail software has been developed that enables drip marketing techniques using standard postal mail.

Social media. The principles of drip marketing have been applied in many social media marketing tools to schedule a series of updates.

Drip marketing can be used as a function of the lead generation and qualification process. Specifically, drip marketing constitutes an automated follow-up method that can augment or replace personal lead follow-up. Often called Autoresponders, new leads are automatically enrolled into a drip marketing campaign with messaging relevant to the call-to-action from which the lead came. This is also known as lead nurturing.

ADVANTAGES

Include the automation and efficiency, as well as the continued ability for direct response. Intelligent e-commerce sites, such as Dell, have integrated this form of drip campaign with un-purchased shopping carts. The continued messaging is relevant to the contents that the shopper stopped short of purchasing, and continue to include direct response actions (i.e. buy now).

DISADVANTAGES

Include the impersonal manner of follow-up. If not augmented with a traditional and personal follow-up method, this automated follow-up has a lower response rate than does personal sales. The lowered response rate is often justified by the volume and efficiency with which leads can be generated and converted.

Hope it would help
Cheers !!

Drip Marketing is a "lead nurturing" and a "customer service management" strategy based on an automated, sequential flow of communications..

It can be effectively used to grow an SFI business in lead prospecting and in affiliate training. First, it can help us interact with prospects and bring them to register with SFI..Second, it can be instrumental in training PSAs and teaching them duplication.

It is well known that Drip Marketing derives it name and strategies from Drip Irrigation, which takes into consideration soil characteristics, the plants' needs of water, and the best time for water absorption. It saves water by avoiding waste in evaporation, and delivers it only where it is most needed.

Similarly, Drip Marketing is suited for nurturing leads through the conversion funnel to increase conversion rates by delivering the right amount of information at the right time based on a "trigger". The trigger is typically the prospect's reaction to the previous message.

Applying Drip Marketing to build and nurture a list of prospects will follow a sequence of information delivery:

1. After a prospect's personal data is captured, on their visit to our website, our blog, or their click on one of our ads, we send them a first pre-written email message introducing SFI, its origin, its history and its tract record of success.

2. We follow up to present SFI as THE most lucrative and user friendly business opportunity today. We explain its worldwide reach and and its multiple streams of income, with special focus on the affiliate program, the TripleClicks store and the ECA program

2. Our third message should dwell more on the streams of income, introducing the Pricebenders auctions and the Eager Zebra Games

4. The fourth message could focus on the facts that SFI is free to join: there are no upfront fees and any out of pocket investments are made on a voluntary basis.

5. The fifth message should be an invitation to join with guidance on how to start SFI successfully by following the outline steps in "SFI Basics"

6. From this invitation, any follow up messages could use the material found in the "Frequently Asked Questions" pertaining to the subjects to which the prospect has been exposed in the first five emails.

Again, the objective of this "Lead nurturing" phase .is to keep the prospect interested until they register. The length of this phase will vary from one prospect to the next It is well know that conversion of a prospect into a customer or affiliate may take a long series of messages, up to 19 or even 29 times.

Applyng Drip Marketing to train PSAs and teach them duplication will be more effective if it follows the training sequences outlined in the SFI official training schedule from "Start" to working the "to-do-List", the Launchpad lessons, Marketing for beginners, for intermediate and for advanced affiliates, sponsoring and advertising.

After the welcome letter, all the following messages should be specifically tailored according to the PSA's personal situation, using the Genealogy filters, and the progress they are making. We have that progress recorded on their VP ledger.

According to Wikipedia, Drip marketing is a communication strategy that sends, or "drips," a pre-written set of messages to customers or prospects over time. These messages often take the form of email marketing, although other media can also be used.

This is also known with other names like automated email campaign, lifecycle emails, autoresponders and marketing automation—the concept is the same: they're a set of marketing emails that will be sent out automatically on a schedule.

This is designed from the research finding that people take action after reading same subject or ads for 5 to 10 times.

This marketing method can be utilized also in building our SFI business. Here's how to do Drip Marketing.

1. Write 10 short articles about SFI. be creative, select 10 different aspeact of SFI. Do not make it too short nor too long. See to it that it can be read in 1 minute or less.

2. Do not forget to insert your gateway link (for email) and landing page (for social media).

3. In Social media like Facebook. Post your article daily in your page. One article daily.

4. For Email marketing send your article at most one article daily or 1 article every two days,

5. You can use auto responder programs and schedule the sending of email to the suggested interval.

There are three things that you should prepare in advance.

1. You articles.

2. Email addresses.

Hi Ronald, drip marketing or automated email marketing are a sets of marketing
emails that you send out automatically on a schedule. Perhaps one email will go
out as soon as someone signs up, another will go out 3 days later, with one more
going out the next weekend. Or, the emails can be varied based on triggers, or
actions the person has performed like signing up for your service or making a
purchase, which is why they're also sometimes called behavioral emails.

1. It has to be targeted: Relevant targeted emails produce 18-times more revenue than globally-broadcasted ones. For instance some of your affiliates achieved EA last month and not yet this month, send targeted emails to them close to the end of the month on why they should achieve EA or what they may loose if they don't.

2. Reward Notification: Send regular drip emails to all your affiliates on your promotions, rewards etc

3. Knowledge Exposition: Get specific URL of training materials that could help your affiliates understand their business better and communicate the same to them on regular basis.

4. Triggered Welcome Note: Set up a triggered welcome note for all your affiliates. As soon as they sign up they should immediately receive an auto-generated email. This will put them on a good start.

5. Careful Planing Required: Too many drip emails will only annoy your affiliates. But a thoughtful set of drip emails can be the perfect way to remind them to buy products to make EA for the month etc

Specific SFI business support to apply drip marketing include the following:
Nurturing Leaders
Welcoming
Onboarding
In-active CSA and PSAs
Recommendations on improvement
Renewals of status
Confirmations of achievements
Training materials

Good luck to you.
