As we approach 2025, your target audience’s inbox remains an ideal place for your business’s content to end up. This is why if you want to nurture leads, build relationships, and drive conversions, a successful newsletter strategy should be a top priority.
But what does that look like exactly? This article from us at Blue Orchid Marketing provides actionable insights to help you craft compelling newsletters and win new business.
What to Include
- Your newsletter content should be valuable, relevant, and engaging for your target audience.
- If you are a podiatry practice, for example, you may want to include news of a recent conference you attended or held. You can also share with your email list new treatments you’re offering, retirements and changes in staff, or any awards your practice has recently won.
- If you are a legal practice, the same ideas apply. Client success stories can also build trust in your attorneys to win favorable outcomes. Whether you’re speaking to patients or clients, industry insights (such as new laws or medical studies) can keep your audience abreast of the most accurate education.
- To build on that, your newsletter can have a section for how-to guides, tips, or resources that address your audience’s pain points. More popular newsletter content includes exclusive offers or promotions, special deals, or early access to new offerings.
- But no matter what you decide, remember to keep your content concise! Your newsletter should be simply formatted, visually appealing, and easy to digest. So, use clear headings, bullet points, and images to break up text and improve readability.
Conversion-Focused Newsletters
Okay, so what can all this great content do for you? In essence, newsletters can be a powerful tool for achieving conversions. That’s why every newsletter should have a clear “call to action” that guides your audience toward a desired outcome:
- Lead generation: Offering valuable lead magnets, like free consultations or products, in exchange for contact information.
- Appointment scheduling: Including buttons or links to schedule consultations or demos.
- Event promotion: Encouraging attendance at webinars or events by highlighting important takeaways and registration details.
- Product or service promotion: Showcasing new offerings or highlighting the benefits of existing ones.
Best Practices for B2B Newsletters
This all may seem straightforward, but there are a few things to keep in mind:
- First, take tone into account. The mood of the copywriting should reflect who’s reading it. For B2B businesses, the tone should mostly be professional and informative.
- You should also consider frequency. How often should your audience receive your newsletter? Segment your audience based on their interests to deliver more targeted, on-time content and personalize your emails by tailoring it to their preferences.
