6 Benefits of Email Newsletters

Company newsletters have long been used to share information about current events, upcoming highlights, and latest news. With today’s blogging and website capabilities, many companies have simply turned to web-based versions of newsletters, allowing both customers and employees to access critical information and the latest news. E-mail newsletters offer many benefits beyond a printed form, and can reach out to both your current customer base and potential subscribers through the website. E-mail newsletters allow you to:

1. Make you an expert.

By allowing readers to learn about the latest trends in the industry, your customers can enjoy keeping up to date with research, news, and reports. You can write up a brief summary or report about a particular news item for delivery each week or month and it’s a great way to position your company as a market leader or industry expert — even a guru.

2. Teach how to do something new.

How-to articles are well received, and can provide unique content amongst reports, statistics, facts, and figures. Any topic related to your industry can help make your e-mail newsletter that much more readable.

3. Promote your brand.

The more consistently you deliver your newsletter, the easier it will be to promote your brand and raise brand awareness. Your logo, colors, and theme can be incorporated into almost all e-mail newsletter templates and encourages the mind-connection with your customers.

4. Spend less money on marketing.

No matter what your marketing budget may be, e-mail newsletters are a simple and low-cost way to create an immediate impact. Many e-mail newsletter programs are also equipped with tracking services that let you see how many newsletters were opened and which links were clicked.

5. Build web traffic.

Direct links to articles, blog posts, or just your website can be included in each e-mail newsletter and make it easy for readers to simply click to your site.

Share new content. E-mail newsletters link back to articles and content on your site make it much easier to share. Adding a simple ‘forward this newsletter to a friend’ button provides you with an opportunity to increase readership at every single point of distribution.
