The usage of Email Newsletters is growing day by day. This clearly shows that email newsletters are benefiting the internet marketers. Even though email newsletters are beneficial to the internet business, it has its own advantages and disadvantages too. So, if you are a beginner to this online market first understand the pros and cons of Email Newsletter before using it.

The Pros

Through email newsletters you can communicate with your customers quickly and easily. This is also one of the cheap methods to build strong relationship with your existing customers. The newsletter is an excellent way to promote your product and drive webtraffic.

You can have regular touch with your customers through newsletters. Most of the internet marketers send the newsletter weekly once, fortnightly or monthly. Hence, the subscribers can easily recognize your mail and show interest to visit your site. By sending frequent newsletters you are making them to give repeat sales to you.

The newsletter is a wonderful platform to expand your business. The newsletters need not be sent only to your subscribers alone and some time you will get a chance to send it to some business people also. These people may have interest in your product and this definitely will help you to widen your business.

The newsletters are easy to dispatch. You can deliver hundreds of newsletters in seconds which is not possible through traditional posting. Also traditional postal takes more time and days to reach the subscriber, hence it partially affect your business.

When you compare the cost of the email newsletter with the printed newsletter, the former one is always cheap. When you send manually it take more time and more money. But, the email newsletters can be preset, which means you can select the time and date of delivery and the autoresponder will do the rest of the job. Your email newsletter will be directed to all the people in your listing at the time set by you. So, you can do the job even without assistance of your staff.

The Cons

Timing is very important in the online business and email newsletter may affect your reputation if not sent in time. Most of the internet marketers promise the subscriber that they will receive newsletters either weekly or fortnightly or monthly once. But, in case if you could not meet the dead line, then the audience may not show interest in your product.

Some time you will have the intention to add some more news in your email letter, but you will not get sufficient space. The newsletters should not be too lengthy as subscribers will not show interest to read a newsletter with so many pages.

You will send email newsletters to hundreds of subscribers but only few open it. Most of them do not even take time to open it instead they click the delete button. But with special autoresponders you can track those customers and take out them from your list as they are not going to help you any more in your business.

The one more disadvantage which I noticed in the newsletter is spam. At present all the email servers have spam filter and this filter sometime directs your newsletter to the spam folder. If your newsletter goes to the spam folder, then there is only less chance for your email newsletter gets opened by the customer.
