What are Auto Responders?

What are auto responders? Auto responders are the automatic responses you get when you send someone an email.

There are many uses for these time savers that can benefit you and your inquirer.

Here are 5 Ways You Can Incorporate Auto Responders to Compliment Your Website:

1. You can let others know that you have received their email and will respond within a certain amount of time. This eases their tension of waiting and gives you time to promptly and carefully respond to each individual email without being rushed.

2. Auto responders can be utilized to inform your inquirer that you will be out of the office for a few days and will respond when you return.

This helps prevent emails like the ones below while you're gone:

• First Email: Hi, I have a question for you, etc...
•  
• Second Email: Hi, I wrote to you yesterday with a question. Did you get my email?...
•  
• Third Email: I still haven't heard from you. Are you there???
•  
• Fourth Email: Well, I guess you just don't want my business. Don't bother writing back!

... and you haven't even read the "first email" yet.

3. Subscribers to your ezine mailing list or newsletter are able to receive their first issue automatically when they subscribe. This gives your subscribers "immediate gratification" for their efforts.
