Why a store newsletter?
A monthly store newsletter given out free to customers is one of the best uses of your
advertising/marketing dollars because it fulfils some of the top rules of good marketing:
1. It's targeted. It hits the buying customer directly,
unlike blanket advertising methods, such as newspaper or radio,
which may only interest a fraction of the audience.
2. It's benefit-oriented. Articles report on products that
provide solutions to problems.
3. It's consistent. Appearance, format and frequency are
consistent and easily recognizable to customers, who
come to anticipate and appreciate it, month after month.
4. It builds your image. A newsletter keeps your name and number in front of your
customers and positions you as the local expert.
5. It's cost effective. A four-page newsletter has as much space as a full-page newspaper
ad, for a fraction of the cost. Surveys show that store newsletters are read more often and more
thoroughly than other forms of advertising, including newspaper ads and free magazines.
