E-Newsletters 101: Promote and Grow your Business with E-Newsletters

Promote and Grow Your Business with E-Newsletters

It's common lore in the sales industry that you need to "touch your prospects" at least SEVEN times before they buy from you. Electronic newsletters are one of the most easy and effective ways to get your message to your clients, prospects, networking contacts, and partners, many times on a consistent basis.

Previously, "professional looking" newsletters required mastery of complex software combined with graphic design talent. This is no longer the case with Constant Contact(tm)'s powerful web-based newsletter system.

In this live demonstration seminar, I'll show you how to create a very professional looking newsletter in a matter of minutes.

This seminar includes a 30-minute business consultation to get your newsletter on its way.

E-Newsletters for Not-For-Profits, Promote your Favorite Charity with E-Newsletters

How can you promote your favorite non-profit? Did you know that 60% of people who attend charity events and/or contribute to charities have attended an event or contributed before? That is why it is so critical to communicate with the contact list. Direct mail is expensive! A calling campaign requires lots of volunteers. This class will teach you the benefits and specifics of creating E-newsletters. Learn how to maintain and manage the data base of contributors, create handsome emails, and track the results. No previous experience necessary! The more people understand the depth and value of the services that your non-profit delivers, the more likely they are to volunteer and contribute. Learn ideas for content and design. Learn how to send emails to donors, sponsors, volunteers etc. to keep your costs down and your results high. Christine, the instructor, is a marketing consultant for businesses and non-profits.
