Email newsletters are hot property
Yes, you heard me correct, email newsletters are hot property!
However, if your email newsletter is like an old dinosaur it is time to add a little sparkle to that t-rex.
Almost everyone has at least one email address (some of us have many more). Email offers a direct line of communication from a business to its followers/subscribers and ideal clients/subscribers.
Subscribers
You can separate your subscribers into a couple of areas and potentially, even more, depending on your business.
Followers – These are the people who are curious about your business but may never actually buy from you. They want free info and may also be competitors.
Ideal clients – GOLD – These are the people who you know to be perfect for your business. They may already be clients/customers or they may be potential clients/customers.
How do you make your email newsletter hot property?
- It must cover a topic/s that your ideal clients care about
- The email newsletter should be obviously yours and what your business cares about
- It must be uniquely your business with information that cannot be found everywhere else
Is your current email newsletter hot?
Think about the emails you currently receive from other businesses.
What inspires you to open them?
What are they doing well?
