Marketing a newsletter
Why is a newsletter such an effective marketing tool?
A newsletter is an effective marketing tool due to the fact you are putting your brand name in the hands of a targeted demographic with a common interest. This in turn increases engagement and communication levels, subscribers, clicks and links visited.
An email newsletter is beneficial because you can reach your audience in real-time and quantify the success of engagement. They also allow you to stay in direct contact with your audience to build brand trust and keep your brand at the forefront of the consumers mind. Further to this an effective newsletter will boost your content marketing strategy as the valuable information provided, and links back to your main website, will encourage customers to engage with your core products. Finally a newsletter can be forwarded on to outside of your network thus increasing your brand awareness.
Only 55% of marketers think more than half of all the emails leaving their organisation are relevant to the individual recipient (DMA) through the use of a standard newsletter. However, using CaboodleAI allows almost 100% of your emails to be relevant. This is because CaboodleAI looks at the articles which have received the best results and then selects what is most relevant for your audience in future, therefore the articles are always relevant.
