Many businesses have been sending out monthly or fortnightly newsletters as a means of staying in touch with their existing customers for years as it is a highly effective method of ensuring customer satisfaction.
This is a technique that can be used by any business in any market sector. Many businesses are excellent at what they do, but nobody knows that they do it.
By the nature of their jobs, directors and managers of companies generally have so much to do all of the time that the concept of every month finding topics to write about and delivering a full professional newsletter to their customers is near enough impossible.
Methods of keeping in touch with your clients/customers are often hindered by large workloads. However there are some services around that can take care of the bulk of the work for you.
Just one of these is SmartNews, the new service from SmartMarketing. What SmartNews does is create and send out a professional newsletter to all your existing customers AND to possible new ones.
Using this service or a similar one can make the production of these monthly newsletters ten times easier, but writing the actual content is still up to you. It takes around 6 to 8 good, well written/spoken contacts to get to the front of a potential customers mind, so writing page after page of generic text will most likely have no effect whatsoever to anyone. The content on your newsletters must be highly informative and useful information to your target market.
Sending the newsletters by email is not only far more environmentally friendly than traditional methods, but its far quicker and cheaper as well. The fact that its quicker means that neither you or your customers are waiting around for a response from one another for long, and the fact that its so much cheaper speaks for itself really!
Another great reason to use email to send out your newsletter is that it makes it much easier to measure the effectiveness of each email because you will have the information as to who has replied to what and when right there in front of you.
