Welcome to the second in a five-part series on leveraging AI as a small business!
Growing your contact list doesn’t have to be hard—especially with a little help from AI! Whether you have a storefront, a website, or just a few social media followers, you can start building your list today. Just type your thoughts into a tool like ChatGPT and it gives you a starting point!
Try asking AI this:
“I own a [type of small business]. I want to grow my email contact list. Give me 5 specific list-building strategies I can use online or in-person, including what I should say to encourage people to sign up.”
Example:
“I own a small yoga studio. I want to grow my email contact list. Give me 5 specific list-building strategies I can use online or in-person, including what I should say to encourage people to sign up.”
AI Might Return:
Offer a free first class in exchange for an email signup: “Get your first class free when you join our email list.”
Add a pop-up form to your website: “Sign up and receive weekly yoga tips and exclusive offers.”
Use social media: “DM us your email to receive a free meditation guide.”
Collect emails during check-in: “Join our wellness list for special event invites.”
Host a giveaway: “Enter to win a yoga mat by signing up for our email updates.”
