An email newsletter is an invaluable tool for communicating with customers and would-be customers. Whether your brand caters to the B2B or B2C market, email is one of the most popular and most successful methods of interacting with and engaging your customers online.
Email newsletters are exploding. With the rise of popular email newsletter platforms, including most notably Substack, many bloggers and small business owners are using the medium to escape the noisy web and grow a loyal base of readers and customers away from social media.
It’s easy to see why: Readers who share their email address with you feel a closer connection to your content and thus are more willing to receive messages from you regularly.
