14. Building Customer Loyalty
"A good newsletter keeps you in front of your customers, adds value to your services, establishes your
expertise and credibility, and saves you valuable selling time," says Elaine Floyd, author, speaker and
newsletter expert extraordinaire.
CUSTOMER LOYALTY BUILDING IS POWERFUL. AND INFORMATIVE NEWSLETTERS
CAN BE THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL IN YOUR SALES TOOLBOX.
• Do you have good customers you'd like to stay in touch with without interrupting them with phone
calls or visits?
• Is your product or service line changing quickly?
• Do some of your best customers not know about your latest product offerings and how each one
benefits them? Or have you heard your customers say, "I didn't know you did that?"
• Do your customers like hearing stories of businesses similar to theirs and how they've been
successful?
• Can you share information that saves your customer's time and money, helps them get more business
or prepares them for the future?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then you needed a newsletter
yesterday.

15. What other CEO’s are saying about newsletters …
"Custom publishing is becoming a preferred way for companies to communicate with their customers,"
Says Chris McMurry, Custom Publishing Council Chairman "And that's the reason nearly every
[company] is doing it.”
A STUDY CONDUCTED BY THE CUSTOM PUBLISHING COUNCIL, "EFFECTIVENESS OF CUSTOM
PUBLICATIONS: A STUDY ON HOW CONSUMERS RESPOND TO CUSTOM PUBLICATIONS," REVEALS THAT 64
PERCENT OF CONSUMERS AND 67 PERCENT OF BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS WHO ARE REGULAR READERS
OF A CUSTOM PUBLICATION HEAVILY CONSUME THE CONTENT, MEANING THEY READ THE BOOK COVER TO
COVER OR SOME PAGES IN DETAIL, AND PICK IT UP AN AVERAGE OF TWO TIMES BEFORE FINISHING IT.
The research even finds that nearly 40 percent of those who receive a custom publication retain it or
pass it along to additional readers, another key indication of the high value a reader places on any
magazine or newsletter.
MILLWARD BROWN REPORTS THAT CUSTOMER PUBLICATIONS FORM STRONGER BRAND RELATIONSHIPS.
BRAND LOYALTY INCREASES BY A THIRD. MORE SPECIFICALLY A CUSTOMER PUBLICATION CAN BE USED TO
ESTABLISH A DESIRED BRAND IMAGE OR POSITIONING.
