Maximize your Marketing Efforts with eNewsletters
Technical Application Spotlight -eNewsletters
by Christine Pinney

“I need more bang for my marketing buck.”

“I need to touch my prospects 7 times before they’ll buy.”

“I need an easy, cost effective solution that I can implement in house.”

“My marketing budget has been slashed and burnt. How can I still consistently bring in sales leads?”

 


Whether you are an author or an entrepreneur, a holistic healer or a hi-tech honcho,  a coach or a consultant, you absolutely must consider communicating with targeted email newsletters.

 

About Web-Based eNewsletters:

They are an easy and affordable solution for organizations to build and manage permission based email lists, create and send eye-catching HTML email newsletters, announcements and promotions, and track results. They help small and mid-sized businesses, non-profits and for profits to develop and maintain continuing relationships with prospects, partners and clients.


Companies that use eNewsletters:

Center for Entrepreneurial Growth, LLC. Bedford MA, Publishes a newsletter announcing events and articles on various subject matter. Carlton SooHoo and Julie Hartman, Managing Partners of the Center for Entrepreneurial Growth, LLC, told us


“We understand the importance of relationship building in all aspects of business development.  With the help of eNewsletters, we are able to inform, inspire and reach out to the 2000+ members of our database on a consistent basis. Staying in front of clients and prospects with relevant and timely information is vital to the success of any organization."

Cliff Bodenweiser, The Cash Flow Consortium, Communication and Resource Specialists, Marlboro MA says
