• Newsletters (e-mail or print)
• White papers
• Case studies
• Special reports
Can content improve the value—and, perhaps, the returns—of your e-mail marketing campaigns? Absolutely! But there are a couple ground rules:
- Be relevant to your audience—kind of obvious!
- Be good—No making silly faces into a video camera or pounding out a rant on your keyboard (unless it's REALLY well-written).
- Don't give it away—If your content is good and it's relevant, ask for something back from your recipients. Have them tell you a little about themselves before granting them access to your case study, video or article.
An added bonus—All that good, keyword-heavy content works wonders for SEO! More interested, maybe-ready-to-buy eyeballs to your Website!
