There are so many reasons every business owner should be sending a monthly newsletter.

newsletters

Now you know why you should send a newsletter. So what’s holding you back?

do any of these sound like you?

  • You’ve wanted to offer a free e-newsletter on your website, but don’t have the tech skills to design one.
  • Writing articles is not one of your strengths, and/or your graphic design skills are lacking.
  • You don’t always feel super creative and would love to hand this task off to someone who is.
  • You know that sending an e-newsletter will boost sales, but you need a push to get it done.
  • Your clients and prospects would love to hear from you regularly, but you just can’t find the time to publish each month.
  • You would rather spend your time working with clients (making money!) than create a monthly newsletter.

finally, there is an answer to your prayers!

Time to Organize offers Easy-Does-It Custom E-Newsletter Design! If you are out of time, but full of desire to boost your business by sending a regularly scheduled newsletter to your clients (and equally importantly, your prospects), check out this time-saving new service. There are two options:

one-time template design

If you just need someone to get a template designed and the first issue ready to go, the One-Time Template Design option is for you. We will design a newsletter template using Constant Contact, an amazing, flexible contact management, and email marketing tool.

  • This newsletter template will enhance your company’s brand — it will include your company colors and logo. 
  • You have the opportunity to jot a quick “from the owner” note to include in the newsletter’s intro, or we will write a short intro for you.
  • You may provide a paragraph or two that shares information about your company, such as your mission statement, the services you provide, your ideal client profile, or anything that tells your readers a bit about who you are.
  • Your contact information and personal photo/headshot will be clearly visible on the template.
  • Your first article will be provided for you from our Articles on Demand library. You may pick the article you want or allow us to select it for you.
  • Your first issue will include an appropriate photo/graphic to go along with the main article.
  • We can include an “inspirational quote of the month” from our library of organizing-related quotes.
  • You have the option to include a special offer in this issue to get your phone ringing. You may select an offer from our pre-written list of offers or write your own.
  • We can include links to your social media accounts, such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
  • You have the opportunity to give your newsletter a title/name.
  • We proofread the entire issue, check to ensure all links are working properly, and schedule your first issue’s send date and time.
  • In addition, we will provide the code you need to put an e-newsletter sign-up link on your website.

To get started, simply click the “add to cart button” below. You’ll receive an email from us requesting your company colors, logo and/or headshot in jpg format, and contact information. We’ll get started on your template, and be in touch regarding article choice and any text you’d like to provide in the first issue. You’ll receive a first draft for approval. We are happy to make adjustments to your liking at this time. We will finalize your first issue and send you a final “test” draft. We can then schedule your first newsletter’s send date/time, or leave it ready to send (in draft status) in your account so you can take over and send it whenever you’re ready. Following your first issue, you can take over and use the template for quick “cut and paste” future issues. Or, you can purchase our Keep-It-Going Newsletter Service (see below) and leave all the work to us.

on the fence?

Consider your Return on Investment (ROI). How many new or returning client sessions or product sales would it take to recoup your costs on this smart investment in your business? Likely, in just one or two client sessions, your new e-newsletter template cost would be recouped. And each month, your investment of around $100 could be returned many times over!

Your competitors are sending e-newsletters to their clients and prospects, allowing them to stay in constant contact with those curious and ready to buy their services. Sending a monthly e-newsletter is one of the most essential tools in your marketing toolbox. If you’re out of sight, you’re out of mind. Stay top-of-mind and your phone will never stop ringing!

frequently asked questions

Do you have an example of a custom newsletter?
Two sample newsletters are shown above. You may contact us if you’d like to have one emailed to you for your closer review. Of course, your template will be customized for your business, with your company colors and logo, personal headshot, contact information, and more!

How long does it take to set up my first newsletter?
Once you pay and provide us with some basic info (company colors, contact info) and graphics (logo, headshot, etc.), we can get started. In most cases, you’ll have your first draft within about two weeks.

What about subsequent months’ issues?
We will help you set up a consistent monthly schedule. We will select your articles that are relevant to the time of year or organizing-related holidays that occur in specific months. Or, you may select any article of your choice from our Articles on Demand library, so long as you get it to us by our requested deadline.

I would like a custom-designed graphic, logo, or header for my e-newsletter. Can you do that?
While we do not offer graphic design services, we can connect you with a great designer who can do it at an affordable rate.

What choices do I have for images/photos?
We will provide one image per issue at no additional charge that works with the main article’s topic. If you desire a different image or multiple images, you will need to provide those to us in JPG format. Constant Contact does offer a unique library with millions of images (for an additional charge of $5 per month) that you might find helpful.

Can I provide photos or images for each issue?
Yes, you may upload them to your Constant Contact account and let us know that you’d like to use them for a specific issue.

What if I’d like to have more than one article or desire additional custom changes to one or many issues?
We can provide these services at a small additional charge. Please contact us for details.

Will you set up my account with Constant Contact?
No, you will need to do that, as you’ll need to provide your contact information and set up a username and password. We want you to have full access to your account, whether you hire us to just create the template or to manage your newsletter on a month-to-month basis.

Who pays for my Constant Contact or MailChimp account?
The account is yours, and you are responsible for setting up and paying for that account. Constant Contact accounts begin at $15 a month for 500 subscribers and have the option to purchase its amazing library of over one million images for an additional $5 a month. (Pricing is subject to change. Please see their website to confirm pricing and details.) Constant Contact offers a free 3-month trial and many flexible add-ons as your business grows. It also provides a code so you can link up your e-newsletter subscriber form on your website.

What types of articles do you provide?
All articles are organizing-related. There are many sub-topics to choose from, including:

testimonials

I wanted to let you know that the first email blast for the new Busy Bees newsletter went off without a hitch on Sunday. It was very well received. I am grateful for all of your expertise in putting this together for me. I had a really good rate of opens in Constant Contact. I even got an email from a new client within the first 1/2 hour of the mailing asking to set up an appointment with me. I never would have been able to put this together on my own without your help. I am so pleased with your services!

I first met Sara when I started my business. As an organizer focused on helping others, the marketing piece was suffering. I have purchased articles and social media posts, and most recently I asked for Sara’s help with my newsletter. I hired her to create a new e-newsletter template for me using MailChimp. She thoughtfully incorporated things that would allow me to highlight both my services and products in each issue, along with a feature article. Now, it’s easy for me to send a regular newsletter to my prospects and stay top-of-mind. Sara also created a simple, new website from scratch using WordPress — www.AnneMcGurty.com. It was a quick, painless process that gave me a sophisticated web presence at an amazing price. She turned the whole thing over to me upon completion, and now I have easy access to make changes to my website whenever I see fit. I’ll never have to rely on a pricey web designer to make edits ever again. Sara will get the job done in record time, professionally, and with a clever edge that will put you ahead of the competition. Sara, you are my marketing fairy!
