Success With Newsletters
Author : Will Shaw
Newsletters really DO work! With just a small amount of effort
on your part they will work for you, even if your marketing
budget a small.
Customer orientated newsletters are a wonderful way to market
your business when on a budget. You can choose to write them
yourself or even hire a ghost writer to do the job for you.
One of the most important elements of a newsletter is the title.
Not only the main title itself but also the title of each
separate news piece. You want something catchy that will peak
your customer's interest... grab their attention.
Stick to the basics. Provide important, relevant and concise
information. While it is acceptable to include such content as
humor pieces, trivia or even recipes at times, remember the MAIN
purpose of this type of newsletter is to SELL your product or
service and to INCREASE your customer base.
Newsletters do not have to be long and involved. They do not
have to contain a specific number of pages. In fact, many
readers prefer a newsletter that can be digested in a matter of
a few minutes as opposed to one that is several pages in length.
What is important is to provide a regular and informative piece.
In order to make things easier there are many companies that
offer low cost newsletter management packages for businesses of
all sizes. They are well worth the money when you consider the
time you save when utilizing this service. Depending on the size
of your newsletter (number of pages) and the number of
subscribers that receive your newsletter each month, you can
literally save HOURS of work with one of these packages.
Most of these budget newsletter services offer free trial
periods, online tutorials and some form of live help, via either
a toll-free number or live online chat option. They do their
best to offer "more than the next guy" to ensure you will choose
their particular service.
One example of such a service is Benchmark Email
(http://www.benchmarkemail.com). Packages start from as little
as $9.95 per month. They offer a 30-day free trial, unlimited
subscriber lists, unlimited email layouts and unlimited
campaigns. They also offer image hosting which eliminates the
need to place newsletter images on your website.
Submit your newsletter information to various no-cost online
newsletter directories and you will most certainly notice an
increase in subscriber numbers. NOTE: Chances are you won't
receive hundreds of subscribers overnight, but you will attract
readers that probably would not have found you otherwise. Let's
face it, every new subscriber is a potential customer and
obtaining new customers is what you are striving for!
To get started, list your newsletter on FreeEzines.net
(http://www.free-ezines.net/rmanager/user.php). They do require
a link back, but that is easily accomplished and well worth the
effort. They have a very high search engine ranking, which
translates into the possibility of a large number of new
subscribers.
The POWER TO SUCCEED is within you! Go forth and write, you will
not be disappointed with the results.
