Using Email Newsletters

Email marketing has received mixed reviews over the past few years. Most of revolving around the dreaded scourge of spam.

However at the same time the use of email newsletters has also become both an accepted and some might say necessary tool for any business. This is especially true in a service business where it is important to keep in touch with clients and keep them informed about new opportunities, products and especially legislation changes changes.

Very few IFAS are using quality Email Newsletters, but you are in the perfect profession to utilise these. If you have (say) 300 clients and get (the standard) 3% response that would be 9 clients making an enquiry every time you send a mailing. If you keep this to a reasonable level (I would suggest monthly) that is a very nice extra income for about 45 minutes work a month.

One of the most widely used Newsletters, and many think the best, is Constant Contact.
