Many people wonder exactly what an auto-responder is. They have a vague idea that it has something to do with email. That's typically as far as it goes. Let's define what an auto-responder actually is and what it actually does.

Auto-responders allow you to follow up in an automated fashion with prospective buyers that visited your website. Here is what makes them so effective. When people visit your website, an auto-responder can automatically follow up with them. It can send them prewritten emails that cover more details about your product or service. It can also do it over time so that your potential customers are not inundated with too much information. It can also provide helpful customer service information or frequently asked questions. This can save valuable man hours by preventing the need for your customers to tie up your phone lines with questions.

When it comes to buying a product from your website, here are some essential reasons for an auto-responders effectiveness.

. Most visitors don't order a product on their first visit.

. They don't know enough to order a product on the first visit.

. They can easily get sidetracked or busy with other projects.

. They may not have the money at the time.

. They may be shopping and haven't made their mind up yet.

Industry statistics can prove it take 7 or more times of exposure to a product before someone will actually buy it. Instead of relying on them to revisit a site, an auto-responder offers a helpful reminder that a product or service is indeed available.

By asking a visitor to opt into a newsletter or offer to follow up with them via email, it can gain a large number of additional sales. It can also help gain credibility, trust and confidence with a prospective client. Auto-responders used to be very expensive and some companies would even charge monthly fees, or even a charge per email. Thanks to internet growth, technology, and competition, auto-responder fees from companies have come way down and can be quite affordable.

The auto-responder and the internet do most of the work for you. Once it is set-up properly, it never has to be toyed with again. An auto-responder is just one of many tools required to set-up and maintain a successful website. The more automated a website is, the less work it takes in the long run. If a website is too automated however, it can lose a lot of its appeal. There is nothing like live human communication.

Figuring out where to draw the line between customer service and computer customer service, can be a daunting task. A wealthy marketer will harness these tools and human communication in a perfect balance. For an internet business to grow successfully and smoothly, an auto-responder is almost always required. If you don't communicate properly and effectively with your clients and your prospective clients you may find yourself out of business very soon. As a matter of fact the quality of your communication (or your websites communication) will directly affect the quality of success in your life.
