3 Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Newsletter

By Judson Fiore


One can find many benefits you and your business can have from publishing your personal E-newsletter.

1. Keeping in Touch. Your customers and clients are the lifeblood of your business. What better way to stay in touch with your existing customers than through a newsletter? A newsletter allows you to add personal touches to your relationship and celebrate milestones, both your own and your client's. In addition to furthering your relationship with your clients, a newsletter can also allow you to introduce new products, offer special sales or discounts to your existing client base, and encourage referrals.

2. Hook in New Customers. Except they have a pressing need or you received them via referral, most prospects won't buy right away. They would often look around first and compare, that means you won't ever see them again. However if you have a free e-newsletter that provides interested clients the opportunity to learn more about you, your business and your products at no cost, they can also learn more about your relationship with your existing clients. An E-newsletter is an extremely simple way to turn a one-time customer into a lifetime customer.

3. Establish Your Expertise. No one knows more about your business than you do which makes you an expert. Also the construction of your own business has further left you with a great deal of expertise in your field. Share your nuggets of knowledge through your newsletter to deepen your relationship with your existing customers and convince potential customers that you are the answer to their problems.

Now that I have provided you reasons why you need to publish your own e-newsletter, I would like to go over a couple of questions that aspiring editors and marketers always ask.

What's an e-newsletter? A lot like their paper counterparts, E-newsletter deliver written messages usually talking about some common theme or subject. The main difference is that an E-newsletter goes past paper and ink and most likely only ever available on the computer screen.

Some E-newsletter is delivered only via email although some are delivered only on the web. You will find some that's delivered in a combination of these two. Nearly all my e-zines and E-newsletter are delivered via email, but can be found via website (put simply, blog site) and RSS Feed. You can select the methods that best you and your audience prefer.

How do you publish an electronic newsletter? It is much easier to start publication of your own electronic newsletter than it is to start up a print publication. You simply need to decide on a topic, name your publication and start writing. It is easy to find an audience (beyond your own customer base if you choose) through the various e-zine and newsletter directories around the internet as well as going directly to the source, for example discussion boards for people interested in your topic.

You will need to determine a delivery method, which means most likely setting up your own web site or page on your existing web site; creating an archive for your issues once they are created, which could mean setting up a blog; and tracking your readers, which likely means setting up a mailing or autoresponder service. However you can use free tools to do any of these things.
