What’s a Follow-up Auto-responder?

Posted on by Tamara Brooks

mailHave you ever signed up for a website or bought a product or service on the net and as soon as you hit “send” you instantly receive an email confirming your action? You may think that there are a hundred elves waiting in the North Pole to answer your emails. While certainly a cute thought, that’s not the case. Usually, the company or website has an email auto responder set to send you an email once you’re done ordering or signing up.

Letting go of any lead, no matter how big or small, is a big no-no. All leads can become clients and sometimes, something as simple as not returning an email or not sending information is a mistake. An email follow-up auto-responder is an automated system which immediately replies to a set of customers, members or subscribers. It can save you the hassle and work of replying to each and every person on your mailing list. While a personal touch is different, imagine if you had hundreds or thousands of people on your mailing list. Sending out an individual email to each person is not only impractical but time-consuming, taking resources away from your business.

Big Sisters of BC lower Mainland matches volunteer mentors with young girls who face a multitude of challenges. Many of the young children suffer from low-self esteem and social isolation due to poverty, abuse or neglect. For every Little Sister that is successfully matched with a volunteer mentor, a quiet revolution of hope takes place. It costs $2,000 to make and maintain one Big & Little Sister match for one year.

As a primarily privately funded not-for-profit organization, it really does take a village, rather a community, to mentor a child. The paths these young girls start on are critical to the future successes in their adult lives and to the lives of their future children.
