A newsletter is a vital part of your online marketing. It helps connect you with customers who aren’t in your store but have shown an interest in keeping in contact with you. You can notify them of new stock, new sales items, or new products being released, or just provide them with advice.

Research has shown that for every $1 you spend on email marketing (newsletters), you should get back $38.

To get these results you need to grow a mailing list. There are several apps, like this one, that can help you. However, you might also want to follow these steps to add a subscribe button to your website.
