Writing by Nick Stamoulis Tweet

An email newsletter is something that should help you generate new business on a consistent basis. Sure, not every newsletter that goes out is going to create this but eventually as your newsletter builds in size it should work great for you if designed and carried out correctly. Email marketing is still one of the most effective marketing vehicles known to the business world and it is also one of the oldest. Email was one of the very first forms of digital communication used by businesses and it continues to stand its ground in the online business community.

Here are 5 ways to increase newsletter activity:

Calls to Action
Increase the amount of calls to action that you have in the newsletter in order to stir up some new clicks. You have to give people a reason to click around and make it to your website. Just having one link back to your website is not going to be enough. Give your recipients multiple choices on something to click.

Discount Codes & Promotions
Offer discount codes and promotions in your newsletter from time to time and you will see an influx in traffic back to your website. People love deals, so give them some and you will quickly see an increase in activity.

Supply Ample Links
If you are discussing something in your newsletter that exists on your website, create multiple links back to that page. Link the title, an image, and a “read more” button so that your audience has more than one way to make it back to your website.

Understand Your Audience
You have to understand your audience better than anyone else so you need to know what they like and what they don’t like. You have to be able to understand frequencies that are ideal, colors, and topics of discussion that are going to get your audience thinking a bit more about you and what you offer.

Email marketing is a very important touch point but like anything requires testing and tweaking before it is perfected.
