Are Newsletters Dead?

Writing by Brick Marketing on Tuesday, 16 of October , 2007 at 11:24 am

There is a question that is asked a lot: “Should I have a blog or a newsletter?” Actually, I think you should have both. There are several strategies that you can use to increase both your newsletter subscriptions and your blog subscriptions. Here are a few ideas:

  • Use your newsletter to promote your blog
  • Include a newsletter opt-in form on your blog
  • Someone within your newsletter, have a link to your blog with a catchy title
  • Make your newsletter a blog promotional tool by making each story a blog post summary that links to the corresponding blog post; used this way, your newsletter is an extension of your blog
  • From time to time, post one of your newsletter articles to your blog

Using a newsletter to promote your business is one of the time-tested tools of online marketing. Newsletter marketing is all about permissions. Get their permission, send them an e-mail. It works. It isn’t dead.
