For any business, one of their biggest challenges is gaining new customers and keeping them. To do this, a company can use a variety of marketing tools whose goal is introducing the company to the prospective customer, describing products and services that they offer and how the customer will benefit from them.

With the use of newsletters, companies can provide a continuous stream of information so as to persuade potential customers. There are many benefits that organizations stand to enjoy and below is a list of the most significant ones.
To promote brand awareness
The content printed in the newsletter provides a broader picture of the organization. They
do this by expanding the possibility of addressing how the organization’s products and services will cater to the needs of the customers. It also offers prospective and current customers the opportunity for them to understand what your company is about. For this reason, it is important you create valuable, unique and high-quality content. Educational information is fundamental to keep your customers engaged with your brand. Building brand awareness is important not only to attract new customers but to also to your repeat customers to be loyal to your organization.
It increases engagement
When customers feel emotionally connected to the brand, they will trust you and desire to participate in the community as brand advocates. By adding interactive spaces and user generated content in the newsletters allow active members as well as potential customers to feel part of a greater group of people that are united by a vision or a goal.
Expand the target audience
Newsletters have an advantage, and that is longevity. This means that they can still work for you long after an issue has come out. They are portable which expands the range of action that was originally targeted since people can carry them from one place to another. There is a group of people who do not want to read their news online, or they are not connected to the internet 24/7, and newsletter is the best medium for them.
Print gives people a chance to unplug
In this digital age, we are on constant information overload. A high percentage of people are feeling overwhelmed by all the information that they get each day.

Many customers feel the same way, and you can take advantage of this as print communication might be hat you need.
It promotes without selling
The essence of a newsletter is simple to update and to inform customers about the recent happenings in the company and the industry. By increasing awareness through a regular newsletter you reinforce the company’s credibility and you remain continually fresh on the minds of the customers. It helps promote the company in a subtle and a systematic way. It is not the place for flashy advertisement and sales hype but instead draws attention to providing interesting and useful content that is beneficial to your customers.
The benefits of print newsletters should not be underestimated! Regular newsletters keep people informed and give you a chance to present new products and services.
