NEW YORK, Jan. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Company newsletters can go a long way in educating and persuading your clients and prospects to work with you. Developing a newsletter program with a solid audience will prove to be a very important component of your marketing strategy and the trick is making your newsletter's content engaging and valuable while maintaining the integrity of your brand. Here are four best practices to follow when kicking off your newsletter:
- Sign-Up forms. Have these located throughout the site including the homepage.
- Valuable content. Use content to entice readers to sign up. Content could include free reports, an eBook and/or white papers.
- Email Marketing System. Use a system to manage your program that provides subscriber list maintenance and metric reporting.
- Auto-responder emails. Determine what will work best for your audience. Emails can include thank-yous to subscribers for joining the list, an eBook on a topic that will benefit your readers or a future conference date reminder.
This cost-effective medium is an excellent way for building relationships and maintaining regular contact with customers and prospects.
