Stats show that Newsletters are 40x more effective at acquiring customers than social media. That’s a big number! More and more professionals are turning to daily newsletters over traditional media sites for their news consumption, valuing the convenience, personalization, and curated content delivered directly to their inboxes.
BUT senior finance professionals receive on average 20 – 30 marketing emails a day. With so much content vying for attention, how do you ensure your brand is the one that sticks in the minds of these decision-makers? To make sure your brand is top of mind, consistent visibility and engagement are key.
Why Newsletters?
Newsletters have become an increasingly popular way to reach this broader audience. Studies indicate that newsletters have an average open rate of 20-30%, and when done right, they offer an effective way to maintain regular contact with your audience.
In fact, 60% of consumers trust brands that produce custom content, making newsletters a vital part of any content strategy.
Sponsoring a newsletter can place your brand directly in front of a highly engaged audience, helping to build the trust needed to turn potential leads into loyal customers. But don’t take our word for it. Let’s take a look at Xero’s Newsletter Sponsorship with Accountancy Age:
