A newsletter is a regularly distributed
publication that is generally about one main topic of interest to its
subscribers. Newspapers and leaflets are types of newsletters. For example,
newsletters are distributed at schools to inform parents about things that
happen in that school.
Newsletters are published by clubs,
churches, societies, associations, and businesses—especially companies—to
provide information of interest to members, customers, or employees. A
newsletter may be considered "grey literature". Newsletters delivered
electronically via email (e-newsletters) have gained rapid acceptance for the
same reasons email in general has gained popularity over printed correspondence.
It is easy to deliver electronically and very cost effective.
For many decades, the newsletter has
been a powerful marketing tool for businesses seeking profits, non-profits
seeking donations and participation, and for people who just want to
disseminate the information of their choice.
With the dawn of the Internet Age,
newsletters quickly went electronic and millions of companies and individuals
started offering “free newsletter sign-ups” on their web sites. This was
basically a way to capture a customer, capture their email and contact
information, and then keep them interacting with the company. It is a way to
encourage people to “opt in” to get emailed information from a company that
will not be considered spam by the receiver.
The primary benefit of a newsletter is
that they keep a customer interacting with the entity that is distributing
them. Again, this can be for a non-profit motive. For example, the senior
citizen organization, issues a regular newsletter to all it’s members. Their
goal is to serve the needs and challenges of senior citizens.
What are the benefits for a marketer?
Updating your subscriber with your
product launches and other information.
Growing your subscriber base and lead
generation.
Keeping your downlines informed of the
developments.
An excellent marketing strategy, which
should be a part of your promotions. It is easy to create, with so many
features being available to create a letter with eye catching designs. You can
use “ PUBLISHERS “. In your M.S office to create your newsletter. You can even
add external links in the newsletter, sending traffic to the particular link. You
can convert it into pdf format and upload in your website for easy download.
You can download one and HAVE A LOOK at how they are
designed and if you don’t have the time to create one, you can even HIRE people
to design one for you for as little as $10, per issue.
If it is not part of your strategy, it’s
time to consider to start including it in your strategy.
To your success
