Email List Management
An email newsletter is a powerful promotional tool that is extremely effective and relatively inexpensive.
Advertising, promoting services, selling products, spreading new ideas – all this can be achieved very cost effectively if done right. Excellent for traffic generation and can do wonders for your cash flow.
To enjoy these benefits and more, as a bare minimum you need the following:
- Legitimate list of opt-in email subscribers that you have collected yourself
Buying a list or using email addresses of people who have no idea who you are will do you no good at all. In fact it is more beneficial for a business to do nothing then using an email list of questionable origin. Unless you want to promote yourself as a spammer, of course. - Email List Management software or service
There is a wide variety of email list management services. Depending on your circumstances, one can suit you more than another. I like using MailChimp List Manager, because it is quite flexible, cost-effective and comes with lots of additional features such as free email templates, email delivery reporting, easy integration with Google Analytics, Twitter, etc. There is a bit of a learning curve but, ultimately, it is worth it.
