A newsletter is an email or physical mailer you can send to a contact list to obtain a consistent form of indirect marketing. As a part of an email marketing strategy, newsletters can help nurture your relationships with contacts and bring them value through relevant, original content.

Benefits

When newsletters/e-newsletters are created with the client in mind, they can be very successful. The suggested goal is to provide educational topics that can establish your firm/team as an expert or thought leader on a particular subject. These forms of communications can influence your clients’ perceptions of the firm and provide an opportunity for you promote your projects indirectly.
