Does Your Business Need a Newsletter?
If you are not yet using a newsletter as a part of your
internet marketing efforts then you are missing out on
potential and existing customers becoming valuable
long-term buyers.
Newsletters provide an effective tool for collecting
interested visitors' email addresses and converting them
into buyers. They also are a great vehicle for keeping in
touch with your most valued contact - previous
customers. How?
NEWSLETTERS KEEP CUSTOMERS
When you have a customer buy from you, but no
newsletter to follow up, than you are virtually handing
him or her back to your competitors. Of course, if the
service was good and the product memorable they may
come back, but what if you have a new product that
your existing customer may wish to buy and they do not
know about it? What if they lose your website address?
What if they just forget about you? A newsletter will
prevent these things from happening.
HOW OFTEN?
That depends on various factors. Some businesses
contact their subscribers as often as every day, others as
infrequently as several times per year. What works for
you depends a lot on what you are selling, what
information you can give them, how often your
subscribers will want to hear from you, etc.
A good rule of thumb for many businesses is once per
week. Twice a month if you really feel that is the most
you can do. More often and the customer may
unsubscribe or routinely delete your messages. Less
often and you're allowing your competition the chance
to win over your potential customer.
WHAT DO I WRITE ABOUT?
Are you very informed on the product or service? Do you
have a lot of contacts? Can you point out related
products or services they might be interested in?
You do not need a long newsletter. A sale alert or
announcement of a new service or product can do just
as well for some businesses, while others find a tips
format more suitable. Industry news or 'How to...' and
'Top 5...' topics are a good idea and always try to make a
connection between the newsletter and your product or
service. Subscribe to several competitors' newsletters
(they will surely be subscribing to yours). Use a free
email account to subscribe and see what they are
providing their customers.
KEEP IT CONSISTENT
It's amazing the amount of newsletters that abound
online. Because of this subscribers can forget which ones
are legitimate and which are spam.
Keep your format consistent so your newsletter
becomes visibly familiar. Also indicate that the
subscriber requested the information and provide an
unsubscribe link on EVERY issue. You must do this if you
want to limit complaints or spam reports.
Your newsletter deserves time and attention - it is the
voice of you and your business and will help you to build
relationships with your customers (and potential
customers) in a way that no other tool can.
