How To Make Your Email Newsletters More Interesting
Does your email newsletter need some punch and pizzazz? There are lots of newsletters that are sent out everyday that are so dry and boring that they get deleted before they are ever read.
You don't want your newsletter to be one of those newsletters that gets deleted immediately so you should take a long hard look at your newsletter and see if you need to make some changes.
Is your newsletter drier than toast? Don't worry, there are lots of things that you can do to make your newsletter a lot more edgy and fun while still getting important information to your customers.
Do you have graphics in your newsletter? Graphics are a great way to dress up your newsletter because graphics break up blocks of text and add some visual interest for the reader.
But you have to make sure that you only use graphics that are optimized for the Web because otherwise the graphics might take a long time to load and then the reader might just give up and close the email rather than waiting for the graphics to load.
Also, some email systems will automatically remove graphics from emails as a way to prevent the spread of viruses and to catch spam. So never put anything that is very important in a graphic or your customers might not see it.
Graphics should be used as an addition to the text in the newsletter not instead of text. If you're not sure what graphics to use look in your newsletter software. The newsletter software that you use might have a library of graphics that you can insert for free.
If your newsletter software doesn't have any graphics that you can use there are lots of websites where you can buy stock photos and other graphics that you can use in your email newsletters that are royalty free.
Another way that you can keep your newsletters from getting boring is to ad in some quotes or personal anecdotes. Adding in personal material needs to be done very carefully. You should never put long, rambling stories in an newsletter but it's ok to throw in a short personal anecdote or two if it's relevant to the content.
Lots of companies will put in customer testimonials about how well that company's product works. Testimonials are very poplar. If you can get some of your previous customers to give you quotes or short testimonials that is a great way to add in a human element to the newsletter without going overboard.
If you have newsletter software look through some of the templates in your newsletter software for ideas on other ways that you can add some sizzle to your newsletter.
Newsletters can be great marketing tools but only if people are reading them. So take the time to assess whether or not your newsletter needs a creative overhaul before you send out the next one. You'll be glad you did.
