Big news this week!
You might notice a new button on the home page, to the far right on the navigation bar. It reads “Bookstore,” and it links directly to the brand-spanking-new
ebook that MarketingProfs just published this week.
A Marketer’s Guide to e-Newsletter Publishing is the single source that gives you the “how” along with the “why” of e-newsletter publishing. The authors of the book—Hank Stroll and Tamara Halbritter—guide you step by step on how to create, edit, distribute, manage and track electronic newsletters. What’s more, they tell you how to convert your readers from casual suspects to paying customers.
Cool, huh?
So check it out. Heck, buy a copy—at $24.95, it’s a steal!
Hank and Tamara are all over the site this week. In addition to the book, they also unveil a new column. In it, they offer up a marketing dilemma and ask you, dear readers, for your “best advice.” Read their “Invitation to Join the MarketingProfs SWOT Team” and start sharing your wealth of experience with this week’s thorny problem. (Or email Hank and
Tamara with a thorny problem of your own!) As always, your feedback is both welcome and encouraged. Until next week, Ann Handley ann@marketingprofs.com MarketingProfs.com
