How to use email as a tool for your news site

By RJI on July 11, 2012 0 Comments News

Good email newsletters act as a convenient, curated guide to the daily news

  • Convenience: Emails should be accessible for
    readers. They don’t float down a page quickly, readers can return to
    them in their inbox whenever they’d like, and they can be read anywhere
    and whenever a reader has free time.
  • Curation: Email newsletters aggregate the most
    important news of the day in one place, and can be customized to
    specific interests of subscribers.
  • Connection: Email allows a newspaper to connect with users on a one-to-one level, which also improves the ability to attract ad revenue.
