Formatting and layout is the next aspect and this is about the design and structure of the newsletter. Fonts , graphics, section formatting and other different elements are used here. Finally we have the third common aspect when it comes to newsletters - Delivery and list management , this is all about the organization of newsletters, recipient list management and the mechanism of delivery. Why would a business want to publish a newsletter ? What benefits do e-mail newsletters provide? Well, e-mail marketing costs a lot less than direct mail marketing and statistics show that it is 10 times more effective as well. It's also a way of keeping in touch with old customers since they are the ones who bring in the repeat business. It is harder to attract new customers and much easier to retain old ones. By creating newsletters and keeping in touch with old customers, you inform them about developments business wise and they are reminded of the quality of the products or services you offer. Competition is a part of business and despite the fact that most establishments look out for competition from their rivals and try to prevent these competitors from enticing their customer base, it still happens. Rival businesses can match your products, your prices and even surpass your efforts in terms of what you offer. However, despite this fact they cannot take away the existing relationship which you have built with your customers. Newsletters can help you solidify this relationship between your business and your customers. If you have a proper newsletter distribution system you can effectively test your campaigns as well. You can easily adjudge customer responses and identify potential areas of improvement without having to hire expensive assistance in order to do so. |

These shared similarities cover three basic aspects of newsletter creation, management and delivery. The first and most important of all these aspects is the content which has to do with what is written in a newsletter and how it is written.
