The first thing you need to know is what an auto-responder is and what it does. An auto-responder is like having a personal mail carrier at your beck and call. An auto-responder is simply an online computer program that allows a person to fill it up with pre-written email messages and then have those messages delivered at any time you set the messages to be sent.

Using an auto-responder is very simple and yet it can do some very complicated chores for you. Here is a list of 7 tips you can use when setting up your auto-responder.

1) You can set up an auto-responder to reply to any person who has requested information about your product or service.

2) You can set up your auto-responder to automatically send follow-up emails to people who originally requested information about your product or service.

3) You can set up your auto-responder to send out your pre-written messages, daily, every other day, weekly, monthly or any combination of all these.

4) You can set up your auto-responder to deliver a newsletter.

5) You can use your auto-responder to respond to email queries if you are going to be gone for a week or two or an entire month.

6) Most of all, your auto-responder can quickly and easily build you a list of eager-paying customers who would like to purchase the products or services you have to offer.

7) You can set up your auto-responder to send out special seasonal offers or special event offers or even special sales offers.

Think of your auto-responder as having your own set of grocery coupons. Every Sunday in your local newspaper you see a section of it stuffed fulled of grocery coupons, reminding you of one thing. Come shop with us and you will get 50% off or 2 for 1 or something like that. The stores’ main purposes are not to give you the best deals in town but to keep “reminding” you, “Here we are, do not forget about us.”

Sometimes it takes a person as many as 7 to 9 times of seeing something before they decide to purchase that item. Without consistently being in front of them with your offer, you are just throwing money out the window. If you send a person to your website and they only see your offer once, chances of making a sale right then is not very likely.

Your auto-responder is a great tool to use for building trust with your prospects and then turning them into good paying customers. To see how a auto-responder works go to: http://www.whoisdirectory.com and type in a question in the upper right corner where the auto-responder is located.

Many businesses have implemented energy efficiency measures in their facilities over the past several years to help decrease operating expenses and aid the local and global environment. What a lot of these companies do not know is that sizeable federal tax deductions are available to them and also that time may be running out.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005) provides generous, immediate tax deductions to businesses for making energy efficiency improvements to their buildings. The federal tax incentives center mainly on efficiency improvements to lighting, HVAC and building envelopes and can be as large as $1.80 per square foot.

The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 extended Section 179D and EPAct 2005 so the act will not expire until December 31, 2013. However, that does not mean that time may not be running out for some companies.

For businesses that implemented energy efficiency projects in 2006 it is probable they filed their tax returns before April 15, 2007. If they were unaware of the deductions at that time, they are now at risk of losing those tax deductions forever since the IRS only allows a three year period to amend tax returns.

That means if you have not yet amended your 2006 tax return you have only a few months left to do so!

Gossips are always current. It is a dazzling ability. The minute that a story evolves they know it. You must also strive to be this current as a blogger.
