Newsletter Starter Kit: Create Your Stay In Touch System For
Building Relationships And Growing Your Business
For Business Owners (And Virtual Support Professionals Assisting Clients), This Kit Will Guide You Through The Process Of Getting Your (Or Your Clients’) Newsletter Ready To Launch So You Can Grow Your List And Profit.
At the hub of your email marketing, sending out a newsletter on a regular basis leaves a lasting impression about your company.
A consistent newsletter mailing is one of the best ways to develop relationships with prospects and therefore help sell services and products to those who have come to know, like and trust you.
By publishing a regular newsletter and sharing relevant and timely content with your community, you are positioning yourself as an expert.
Unlike Social Media, Newsletters have a personal feel to them because they arrive in your prospects’ inbox.
“Launching a Newsletter Sounds Like a Lot of Work – I’m Already Feeling Overwhelmed! Where Do I Begin?”
Of course it sounds like a lot of work when you’ve already got far too much on your plate. That’s why I made it really easy by packaging together all the templates, checklists and cheatsheets you’ll need and referencing the tools and resources I use in my business and with my clients.
I break the whole process down into two parts: The Set Up and The System
It will only take a short time to work through and before you know it, you too will be publishing your Newsletter on a regular basis.
The complete “Newsletter Starter Kit” contains 15 Templates, Checklists and Cheatsheets that make it easy to get started AND keep the momentum going.
*It should be noted that this is NOT a technical how-to manual. For the not so tech savvy, you can outsource the implementation process and the ongoing management of this project to a Virtual Support Professional. There are a number of Online Marketing and Technical Support experts and professionals such as Virtual Assistants that specialize in custom Newsletter creation and distribution to help you achieve your goals. Consider hiring an expert to set up and manage your Newsletter.
The contents of your Newsletter Starter Kit are divided into two parts:
1. The Set Up – for the creation and set up of your newsletter, getting organized around a schedule and statistics tracking
