Control
Your
messages, delivered your way. That level of control is rarely
possible if you use press releases or interviews to deal
with the traditional media. A newsletter means the subjects,
tone, and emphasis are handled according to your wishes.
Credibility
Do
you rely mostly on advertising to build your business? What
about people who ignore ads or read them with a particularly
cynical eye? The newsletter format boosts your credibility
by avoiding the appearance of a sales pitch. In addition,
because newsletters are perceived as having news value, they
have the ability to bypass gatekeepers such as secretaries
and assistants who screen out "junk mail."
Consistency
A
regular publication builds awareness of your company or brand.
Individuals may miss advertisements or interviews, but they'll
look forward to the latest issue of your newsletter.
