Is the Monthly Newsletter Dead?
#SalesChats Episode 13
There are dozens of great ways to market to consumers, but one that hasn’t been very talked about is the monthly newsletter. This is an old-school way of networking and providing information to leads that many salespeople have disregarded as outdated. But are they missing out on revenue by not utilizing this method of marketing? Edward van der Kleijn talks about the effectiveness of newsletters in this #SalesChat, hosted by John Golden and Martha Neumeister.
Van Der Kleijn explains:
- How the newsletter is beneficial, especially at the beginning of the sales cycle
- The importance of keeping current prospects engaged while in the buying funnel, and how newsletters can do that
- The various kinds of newsletters that can be targeted to specific people and kinds of leads in order to provide relevant information to each person on an individual level
- Why newsletters are a good catch-all to interest a variety of people
- The best places to source newsletter content
- How to best organize the content for your newsletters in a way that is seamlessly integrated into your everyday tasks, and won’t take exorbitant time
- Measuring the effectiveness of your newsletter to understand if it is effective or not
- How social media has been a distraction away from classic marketing techniques, and how newsletters are making a comeback now that the social media hype has died down
- Why people still enjoy and still want to read newsletters
