How to increase profits with a newsletter - By: Debra Nolan

It's time to stop throwing your marketing dollars away. Some of your ads are costing you a lot of money and are not generating enough leads to continue the ads. If you want to generate some leads and increase your profits, consider using a very simple yet effective and often overlooked marketing tool. The customer newsletter is a serious marketing tool and can generate new leads while generating new jobs from past clients.

Here are the facts about newsletter marketing:

Newsletters are widely read and shared among friends, family, and co-workers. Readership for a newsletter is actually four times more than a traditional newspaper.

Customer surveys revealed that readers think a newsletter is more credible than an ad in any media. The print media has known this fact for a long time and some are starting to offer the "newsletter" sponsored ad in their publication. They realize that they are losing marketing revenue because most ads are not generating the leads or opportunities the businesses need to continue the ad Therefore they are trying to find ways to let business place paid ads that have the apearance of a news article, which is generating a buzz and a lot of businesses that have taken advantage of these find that the results are better than any traditional ad.

A newsletter provides a lot of benefits for a business. They provide brand recognition and help to establish your business as an expert and authority in your field. It increases name recognition and sets your company above the competition in the minds of the reader.

Newsletters provide a larger media so you can give detailed information to the reader, while an ad is condensed so save advertizing costs. A newsletter enables you to educate the reader about new products and services. Giving them tips and insights with how to articles are found to be shared more. Your newsletter could be placed on a facebook account, mentioned in a tweet, sent to digg.com.

The benefits of your newsletter going viral are endless. Once you have established your business as an expert or the go-to company, prospects will be more likely to call you and hire you for their next project.

A newsletter is not only read by more people, it also has a longer shelf life than ads. Newsletters, because they are emailed, are more likely to be kept and shared for a long time after it was first received. Because of this phenomenon, newsletters can be used to attract new customers, increase repeat business, enhance a company reputation and improve customer communications. With all the benefits that a newsletter offers it is confusing why more businesses don't implement this form of marketing.

Newsletter marketing is effective, but only if it provides real value to the reader and is professional developed. A newsletter is not a one page ad about a business. It must have well thought out articles that attract readers. Articles that feature new products and services, helpful tips within your business' expertise, or a special section about a completed project. Free tips are one of the best ways to provide the reader with insightful information and it goes a long way in building customer trust.
