Make a page for your site that will show your customers what kind of emails you send out, and make it simple for them to subscribe. All you ever need is their name and email address. Do not ask for any other information. Inform people that by subscribing to your email listing, they will stay informed of the latest information and be offered discounts. Email your customers in a consistent manner. Be sure your email is compelling and your subject line interesting. Try a program that lets you send out massive amounts of messages that are each personalized with the customer's name. If people see their own name in the subject line, they will be more apt to open the email. Leverage all of your site's content in your emails, including blog posts, product links and articles. Advertise your newsletter as a great way to have access to discounts in order to get more subscribers. Always thank your customers for purchasing items.
