How often do think a newsletter should be emailed?

Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 - The frequency of emailing your newsletter depends upon your content. Time-sensitive items will need to be sent more often than evergreen ones.

Thanks Pamela! I love you analogy with a vacuum cleaner salesman. It's tremendously helpful to have a drip e-mail campaign with our past clients as well as our prospects taken into consideration all your 3 steps above!

You've outlined three very valid points.

Master marketer Bob Bly has a formula for how many of your messages should be "salesy" vs. how many should be pure useful information. I forget the formula, but he mails far fewer sales messages than informative messages - and I read his email every day even if I don't take time for any others.

Marte Cliff - Sales "pitches" can be done in a soft manner. Adding a graphic with text and link is a super-easy way to sell without being salesy.

These are useful tips. I have the same question as Georgie Hunter R(S) 58089 - How often is too often?

Kat Palmiotti - Frequency is dependent upon the length of your newsletter as well as the content. If you plan to create a lengthy newsletter, it should be sent less frequently. Content that makes your reader open your emails is the most important thing. See @MarteCliff

Thank you for reminding us of the importance of "cultivating" our leads and clients, rather than trying to sell them... And do you think that direct "paper" mailings are still good? Aloha.

Monique Ting - Yes, yes, yes. After several years of email-only campaigns, people are getting back to the personal touch.  Paper newsletters are expensive. So, I have started sending personal notes and cards to contacts.  The point is to let your contacts know you're there, you can help them, and they matter.

Great points.  Finding the attention grabbing headline for an e-newsletter isn't always easy :)  Thank you for the tips!

Jan Green - I think the headline is the hardest part. It's something a lot of us struggle with.
