NYCT March 2022 Member Meeting Online

 Title: Email marketing for freelance translators and interpreters

Presenter: Pavel Elin

Description:

Translations and language services are not everyday products. Thus, the chances of getting in touch with clients right on time when they are in search of vendors working with corresponding languages and specializing in certain subject fields are rather low.

That makes email marketing one of the most powerful tools for independent language professionals as it allows not only to deliver offers to customers, but it also lets them save proposals to use them in the future.

However, marketing without a strategy cannot be effective. For freelance linguists, the principal goal of such a strategy is to stay in contact with existing and potential clients. The tactics of gentle reminders presented in the book “Effective Email Marketing for Freelance Linguists” is a way how freelancers can tell their stories to clients in a real time mode, significantly increasing chances to transform their contacts into long-term customers.

At the presentation, the attendees can learn about the best practices for all 7 stages of email marketing from identification of the target groups of potential customers up to tracking replies and sending gentle reminders. All suggested approaches can be used by every freelance translator and interpreter right away.
