10 Undeniable Reasons Your Business Needs a Newsletter

In partnership with

Welcome back!

It’s great to have you here for this Tuesday’s edition of the Creator Summit Newsletter.

This week, I want to talk about why your business needs a newsletter.

People often forget the power of email for businesses. Let’s look at 10 undeniable reasons your business needs a newsletter.

1. Boosts Customer Retention

Jumping right into a topic not related to getting new clients, a newsletter is crucial to keep existing clients or customers. Sending regular emails to your email list keeps your business at the front of your customers’ minds and continues to iterate to them your expertise and knowledge in your niche.

With these reminders, anytime they need what you have to offer, you’re the first person they’ll think of.

2. Provides Your Customers with Personalized Content

You can highly customize the emails your subscribers see, making the content they receive relevant to them.

Seeing content that is relevant will make your customers more likely to engage with an email or purchase your product.

Social media is more of a broad brush stroke that captures as much attention as possible. In a newsletter, you’re able to dissect your readers and offer targeted content.

3. The ROI is Fantastic

The ROI on well-written email newsletters is 36% higher than ROI attributed to social media campaigns., and emails are one of the best income-generating marketing tools.

Your investment in an email newsletter, when the copy is done well, can be one of the best you ever make.

Who really owns your audience?

Being a Creator has never been easy, but unpredictable algorithms make connecting with your audience on social media harder than ever.

Enter beehiiv, the newsletter platform used to send this very email.

beehiiv frees you from the algorithms, giving you the tools to connect and create a more direct relationship with your followers.

Plus, with a network of premium advertisers and paid subscription options, you can tap into new revenue streams from day one.

4. Opportunity for Communication and Engagement

Your recipients can privately respond to your emails, which provides a great resource for you to receive feedback from your customers.

You can engage with your audience and potential customer base through polls, asking for reviews, or simply asking for direct feedback about a certain aspect of your business.

5. Deeper Customer Connection

Regularly touching base with your customers and engaging with them via email newsletters builds a deep connection between them and your business.

If you’ve helped them out time and time again through sharing resources, information, or experiences in your newsletter, they’ll look to you as an authority in your niche.

And when they have a need in that niche, you’re going to be the first person they contact because the connection has already been made.

6. Increases Brand Awareness

When your audience receives an email from you several times a week, or even once a week, you’re kept at the front of their mind.

Whenever they see or hear about anything to do with your niche, they’ll think of you because they’re consistently seeing you in their inbox.

7. Provides Analytics on Customer Behavior

To turn our attention to your side of things, your email newsletter platform (I use Beehiiv, for example) will have analytics that shows you how your recipients behave toward your emails.

You can test different marketing strategies, send unique emails to specific recipient groups, and see information on those times someone clicked through your links.

8. Better Customer Experience

With your email newsletter platform, you’re able to customize certain email “paths.”

If your analytics show that customers who buy this product are likely to buy this other one, you can market that item to customers who’ve purchased the initial product.

9. Invests in a List of Leads

One of the best benefits of an email list is the literal list of email addresses. That list is an asset to you and your business.

If you launch a new product, pivot to a new service, rebrand, or start anything where you’ll be marketing a product or service, your email list gives you a head start.

You have a list of contacts already, with analytic data, you can contact to gauge interest, market products, and get feedback.

10. Provides A Strategic Way Forward

All of the analytics data you collect from this email list provides guidance for your future business strategy.

What customer bases you tend to sell to, what their purchasing habits are, and what times of year your sales increase or decrease are all important metrics that help you make informed business decisions.
