How to write a successful newsletter?

When many people think of “email marketing,” they think of opt-in email promotions. That is, where you buy a product online and click on the check box for “send me periodic mailings with news of related products and services from XYZ, Inc.” Then, once a month, you get a short promotional email.
This is a very common model of email marketing, and it has proven itself to be one of the most effective digital marketing techniques. The problem arises when you take this model of email marketing and apply it to email newsletters.
Many companies don’t understand that the purpose of email newsletters is customer retention, while the purpose of email promotions is customer acquisition.

Does this scenario sound familiar?
You’ve just created a great new product or service that you believe in 100%. It’s fully developed and ready to be introduced to the world. However, now you face the steep up-hill climb associated with promoting an unknown brand. Oh, and don’t forget that your target audiences is already receiving an overwhelming amount of messages and attention from your bigger, more established competitors.

Online newsletters, also known as e-Zines, can help sell your products or services, improve your customer’s impression of you and your business and develop you as an “expert” in your field. Some business owners choose to design their own newsletters and handle their own subscriber data base. Others prefer getting assistance from a professional newsletter subscription service. The main goal is to create newsletters online people will want to read.
