It is important to maintain a connection with existing clients and to initiate contact with potential clients. There is a way to reach a large population without having to worry about finding them individually.
Ezines are online newsletters dispensed to existing and new customers. Ezines contain valuable information about industry news and your goods and products.
Do you compose and deliver a company ezine? If you are not convinced of its effectiveness, then read on.
Why should my business be concerned?
Some businesses do not compose ezines because of the time invested. Yes, it will take time to orchestrate the ezine and require dedication by the authors, but it can be profitable for your business.
- You can reach your entire market with one ezine.
- Customers enjoy tools that help them make educated purchasing decisions.
- You need to maintain relationships with current clients –out of sight, out of mind.
- Potential buyers can easily transform into current buyers. Ezines keep you linked to them.
- Do not be a salesperson. Brand yourself as an expert in your field. People feel more comfortable purchasing from knowledgeable businesses.
- You will have the ability to inform customers of industry news, new products, and upcoming events.
What can I provide that will be seen as valuable?
Content is important to consumers. As mentioned, people want to make informed decisions. Your ezine will serve as a valuable educational tool.
You can provide the readers with tips regarding making purchases within your industry. Customers will appreciate an insider’s view free of technical jargon.
Literature can be supplied by outside sources as well. This will make people know that you are concerned with providing information rather than strictly advertising your products and services.
Writing your own in-house articles better establishes your company in the eyes of the public. Would they rather buy from a source they do not know of or one which has established themselves?
It is not frowned upon to alert the readers of your products and services, but keep that content down to a minimum. Think about reserving less than a fifth of the ezine to your products and services.
How often should I write my ezine?
Ezines can be issued weekly, bi-monthly, or monthly. There is no timeframe set in stone, but it is important to keep the timing consistent. Your ezine is an extension of your business. If you establish an ezine and gather a population of readers, then they will come to expect it. If you are inconsistent about it being issued, readers may come to think you are inconsistent about other aspects of your business.
