How to Write Newsletters That Get Opened, Read and Clicked How to Write Newsletters That Get Opened, Read and Clicked
You think newsletters ought to have a set number of articles
– like, say, four – which is making you focus more on quantity
than on quality
You’re creating “content” instead of developing value-packed
articles, infographics, videos and webinars your subscribers
would miss if they were gone
80% of B2B content marketers use newsletters ( 2014 )^1. If there
are 218,000 B2B companies in the US^2 , there may be as many as
174,400 newsletters floating around, competing
for subscribers.
I’ve been in content creation and copywriting for over a decade,
working with B2B and B2C of all sizes in industries from tech to
fashion, and I’ve heard the same frustrations over and over.
What do readers want? Why don’t they open my newsletters?
Why don’t they click to read our articles and posts? Why don’t
they comment or, at least, share our stuff? Is it asking so
much to get them to click to tweet our latest newsletter?
