My First e-Newsletter

How's your monthly e-newsletter working for you?

I've only sent out one so far (only been in the business for three months!) and I've seem to be getting a pretty good response from my sphere! I was wondering though, what type of information do you put in your e-newsletter? Do you get a good response from it...any leads? Do you follow up with a phone call every month?

Check mine out: http://tyghre.com/newsletter/2007/october/

Is there anything you would add or take away?

All comments are helpful for a newbie!!!

Thank You!

Keep up the good work. Newsletters are the best form of contact for your current customers and a great way to create new ones. Good luck!

Welcome to the business and welcome to Active Rain! How often are you going to do newsletters? Great ideas...numbers and stats are what people want I think.

Once a month, I think more than that it will be an over load! And thanks!

I like newsletters to keep in touch with present and past clients. I send it out monthly by email to all of them. I include season tips on selling, current news articles about the real estate market, I throw in a congratulations section to all the sales of the month, I include a list of new listings for the month, all kinds of good stuff. I get past clients who come back to me and tell me how they always know how to find me because they get my newsletters. Its worth every minute I spend on it.

Newsletters are a great tool for staying in touch, I send them out every month

I think it looks great -- very pleasing to the eye! I need to develop one for myself but I keep putting it off -- this is good motivation. Welcome to the business!

Very nice! Wisconsin-Stout must have a great marketing program. You are way ahead of the field already.

Congrats on your newsletter My newsletter is my very best marketing tool. I send an e-letter and a snail mail.

My newsletter has tips 2-3 articles of interest, a recipe ( many hold on to the newsletter for that) my UA, solds & active with photos, I have put in baseball schedules & football schedules you can get good ideas from the postcard vendor magazines.

I don't overload with NAR stuff people don't care they want to know whats in it for them.

Always offer a free ( What's a market analysis anyway) You may want to use the term

Free Market opinion of your home's value

Think like someone thinking of buying what would they want - easy access to a free list of homes for sale send them to your web site

Think like someone thinking of selling - they want to know you are active list your U A , actives & solds with photos.

Always, Always, Proof read and spell check a must. Good luck you are on the right track.

Good job - nice look & feel! Congrats!

Is your newsletter basically a blog format? I am trying to figure out if I should use a blog or newsletter platform but can't find any for free.

I use both, a blog on my website and from their I have a subscription to my e-newsletter. I haven't found a free one yet! If I do I'll let you know.

Great job on your newsletter. I use a pre-formulated newsletter produced by Century 21. I have sent it out monthly for the past 3 years. I have found a great response from it. I also try to gain at least 5 new email addressed for the newsletter every month.

Thanks for all the feedback, I feel pretty confident in my e-newsletter now, if only I could feel this confident about my website, ha!

Tyghre, I love e-newsletters and yours is a perfect design of introducing you with some helpful non-salesy topics. I think the key is frequency (at least monthly) and useful information. I also like the layout of the newsletter. Very colorful.

Tyghre, Your newsletter and your blog are beautifully designed and interesting to read. You've done a great job!

Tyghre - I like the enewsletter. I have been doing one for over a year now monthly. It seems to work well, but it is hard to tell. At one time, I had thought about canceling it, but I went to a referral meeting where I saw a lot of people that were on my email list, and several of them said they looked forward to getting it. I then decided to continue. Got to stay in front of the prospects.
