Getting People to Enlist for Your Newsletter

November 21, 2010

No company in existence would deny that it could benefit from an increase in newsletter subscribers.

Anomalies aside, every added subscriber can improve a business in some way. It can be an added click on an ad, another number in a growing feed count or anything else in a myriad of possibilities.

This isn’t the cup-half-full line of thinking, it’s basic mathematics and marketing strategy.

To get these much-desired subscribers that’ll allow you to employ your content marketing strategy, you’ll need to pawn something of yours. A freebie, if you will. Now, these can come in many shapes and sizes, and sometimes the most unassuming freebie can be the biggest draw to visitors. So, choose wisely.

With every bloated list of newsletter subscribers comes another powerful-but-underrated list, which is the e-mail list. If your subscribers have opted to get additional mailings, this improves the options at your disposal, and subsequently, your competitive positioning.
