An e-mail newsletter is an excellent marketing channel for printers. It can supplement your print campaign, your social media activity, your in-person sales calls, your telephone conversations with customers and prospects, your customer events and any other marketing efforts you have going on.
The primary reason why a printer should bother doing an e-mail newsletter is because it gets your name in front of customers and prospects on a regular basis. Provided your content is solid (informational and well-written; not promotional and cheesy) and relevant to your list, you're providing terrific value.
