What can a regular newsletter do for your small business?
- open up communication between your customers and your business, allowing you more feedback which you can use to improve your business.
- Help current and prospective customers to relate to your brand. (Customers may not want your products/services immediately but when they need it they will think of your business.)
- Simplify marketing and customer service processes and communication. (When you have a message, include it in your regular newsletter rather than issuing ad-hoc information at irregular intervals.)
- Get noticed by new customers. ("Wow! - that's a professional looking newsletter, the business must be well run too.")
- Cross-sell products more effectively. (You already have your customers' trust, why not include your other products/services in your newsletter?)
- Create an advantage over your competitors ("This business issues a regular newsletter so it obvisouly cares about keeping it's clients informed.")
- Make you an authority in your field of expertise. ("This business is going to the effort of keeping me informed with up to date, relevant information. They must really know what they are talking about.")

- make it look professional
- have a consistent format each issue
- issue the newsletter at regular intervals
