Newsletter subscription (a form of email marketing) indicates that a user willingly wants to be informed of any kind of updates of the brand he has used or been using. He willingly gives his personal information to the brand owner. The contacts list record holds its role in here. From here, a marketer could reach the secondary market. End users will be simplified recommending a product by forwarding the newsletter to other people he knows. There are three possibilities arisen in here. The secondary market would buy or ignore or safe the email for reserve, see if the product is needed in the future.

Make sure that the email has user friendly format, e.g html format or text with links. Do not give too much in an email. Try to make it simple and brief. Ask them to visit the website instead of making a load full email. If there are many things to offer to the end users, several emails can be sent, clustered, based on group of needs or types of offers. At the bottom, provide email link for direct contact or input.
