the importance of sending newsletters to your customers

Awareness

While your main goal is to make future sales, newsletters also serve to provide brand awareness to your customers. Sales and promotional emails are not always attention-grabbing. However, a thoughtful newsletter about your company, the owner, or the team, as a few examples, can help customers to feel attached and therefore more aware of your business.

Showcase Your Expertise

You are the expert! Send customers newsletters containing information about your industry and the types of products you sell. For example, a nutritionist may send a newsletter about, '5 foods that give you energy'. Readers will be curious to know more, engage with the email, and be happy that they were provided with value, with you to thank!

Redirect To Your Website

Newsletters are a great opportunity to indirectly initiate a transaction by leading them to your website. A great example of doing this is to provide previews of blog posts in your newsletters and  prompt people to read more on your website. People will want to peak around the website to learn more!

Promote Social Media Channels

Grow your social media following by letting customers know where else they can stay in touch with your business in your newsletter. By directing customers to your social media channels, you will continue to reach more and more potential customers as your posts are engaged with and shared.

Run Special Promotions

Newsletters can effectively let customers know about special promotions going on! Let them know about what deals your business is offering and direct them to your website.
