Using Email Newsletters to Promote
Using email to promote your ecommerce store is an economic way of providing professional services to your customers and creates community.
Email marketing campaigns are one of the most effective ways to keep customers coming back to your website. They are a cost-effective way to keep in closer contact with customers and build brand awareness and loyalty. Emails let you talk to your customers long after they have left your store and moved on to other things. So what are the basics to ensure successful email newsletter campaign.

No.1 Create a persuasive email newsletter and send it regularly - You can use a variety of ways to develop interesting, useful and fun email marketing campaigns. Many businesses lay out their emails as newsletters and market them as such. This format can give a friendlier feel and does a better job of building the customer relationship. Good newsletters feature any or all of the following:

Special offers and prices from your store

Helpful information. This can transform your message from a simple sales pitch to a resource which your customers will find genuinely useful
Reasons to come back to your website by teasing customers with hints about new information on your site

Advice about new products and services that you use to get your reader excited about new developments

No.2 Sell it! - Too many businesses market their newsletters by saying nothing more than "join our email list." It's hard to imagine that thousands of people will sign up with so little to persuade them. Use email marketing campaign tactics to encourage people to join your mailing list:

Tell your customers and prospective subscribers what valuable information or offers they'll get by signing up. It sounds incredibly simple, but often businesses forget to set out their stall properly. newsletters are just the same as a service; you wouldn't sign up to it without knowing what it entailed.
Include links to prior newsletters. Consider putting links to old newsletters on your website so people can see what they'll be getting.

Give customers and prospects plenty of chances to join. Put invitations to join your email list all over your website. Make sure there is an invitation on the front page. When a customer has entered an email address for any other reason (e.g. placing an order), have a box allowing them to join your email newsletter with just one click.

Sign people up offline. If you have a retail outlet or office make sure you have some convenient cards placed at the till or office reception. All people have to do is write their email address and join. Make it easy to join your list by limiting demographic questions. Each question you ask will reduce the number of people who sign up. It's a difficult thing to do because demographic information can help you target messages better. However, the ideal solution is to limit the number of questions you ask during the sign-up process, but you can follow up with questions in a later email once your readers are comfortable with the service. Some firms offer customers special rewards such as discounts for sharing their personal information. But, customising messages based on demographics requires a fairly sophisticated email list service, so you may want to keep the questions during the sign-up to a bare minimum to increase your list.
