I get 20-50 new leads per day from the various landing pages I publish. My policy is that when someone has shown enough interest to sign up for my list, whether it be for a newsletter, a particular product or service, or simply from curiosity, I want them to get a message from my PERSONAL EMAIL welcoming them, telling a little about me, a little about the program they subscribed to, and some free resources to help them in THEIR business. If I had to create this from scratch every time, it would be very time consuming.
GMAIL has "Labs" - add-ons you can use go provided features and functions over and above the normal, robust Gmail features. These come from various sources but are approved by the Google Watchdogs.
Get to Labs by clicking the "Gear" and then select "Settings". Find the section called "Labs" on the top menu. Click the Enable or Disable radio button, and Save Changes.
With the particular Lab called Canned Responses, the make it very easy. Simply compose a message as though you were sending a new email. Enter a subject line (which will become the title of the canned response message), the pull up the mini-menu at the lower right corner. Scroll down until you see in italics "Save New Canned Response".
Done!
To use it, compose a new message, pull up the mini-menu and select the cannedl responsre message you want to copy into your new message from the list.
