Why You Business Should Be Using Newsletter Campaigns.
There are now many ways to stay in touch with your customer base. With the advent of the digital age a printed newsletter may seem some what out dated by today’s standards. Perhaps even a little behind the times. However, newsletters seem to have remained a popular way to communicate. Popular enough that they have evolved and crossed the boundary into the digital format. There are still many industries that like to use the printed format to stay in touch. Large companies for example use printed newsletters to keep employees informed of company updates, company achievements and milestones as well as touching base with customers on a regular basis. This is still an effective way to communicate and at the end of the day a lot of people like nothing better than to hold a physical piece of paper and have a good read. For this reason a well designed and well written newsletter is a great public relations and marketing exercise for your business or company. At Hopping Mad Designs we can help you design and produces a newsletter for both printed and digital formats.
- Newsletters are a great way of grounding your business. People are constantly being bombarded with information. This is happening so fast that if you receive an email you often delete it before you even open it. This is compounded by the social media phenomena. There are just so many media platforms to choose from that it is now becoming quite difficult to disseminate information. Question arise like; who do you trust?, is the information i am getting real or is it spam?, who is actually writing the content and where did they get this content from?. The more you actually look into this the more you realise that most of what is out there is just recycled from some other place. This is why a newsletter is so important for your business. Your customers can physically see that it has your branding and it comes from your email address, adding legitimacy and credibility. Even getting a physical newsletter delivered in the mail personally addressed to you means adds the ‘privilege factor’ meaning that you are more inclined to open it and read it. Customers will appreciate the fact that you have gone to all the trouble of compiling a newsletter and might therefore be inclined to be just that much more loyal to your brand or product.
- Newsletters Enforce your Brand. We well designed newsletter can have a huge impact on your audience. If for example, you have a new product line or service that you want your customers to know about a well designed page in your newsletter can put the spot light on this product/service. Although people might only glance over it, they will remember this newsletter and the article when it comes to making that all important buying decision.
- Newsletters are awesome for staff morale. Internal newsletters are always read by company employees. Its a great morale booster if you highlight a particular employee who has done something special or telling the story of an employees work history. It gets people more involved with the company and may help company retention rates. Another great morale booster is if the company does something for a charity and wants its staff to know. A newsletter is an awesome medium in getting this information out there.
- A company newsletter can mean the difference between winning new business or not. If a potential customer chances to read your newsletter and likes what is written you may just be awarded the next big contract that he/she is in charge of. You never know who will read your newsletter and you never know when it may pay dividends but it is a powerful marketing tool and should always be incorporated into part of your marketing mix.
- By getting people to sign up to your newsletters via your website you are actually building a database of people that you can continually stay in touch with. Obviously they are able to opt out if they prefer but its a good marketing ploy to get people onto your database with perhaps a give away or an incentive to join.
