How the Zine Newsletter Program Makes Producing a Stunning and Effective Newsletter Do-Able, Affordable, and Consistent
The Zine Newsletter Program was developed to implement direct response marketing strategies and eliminate common pitfalls and speed bumps that derail marketing efforts.
Zine Newsletter clients receive expert management of the entire process PLUS coaching and consultation to help them grow as a marketer and entrepreneur.
Six Issues Instead of Twelve
We plan for SIX issues of a 4-page newsletter. We’ve found that six issues a year (every other month) is just as effective as 12 issues a year, and less prone to burn-out and scheduling challenges. Plus, it essentially cuts costs in half.
Postcard Newsletter
Is it a month of fires to put out? Family emergency? Are cases and clients overflowing reducing capacity? A Postcard Newsletter keeps the rhythm of a nurture marketing effort without extra work. It’s a postcard that acts like a newsletter. The Zine Marketing Team creates the postcard using repurposed content and our client’s best offer and call-to-action. It acts as an effective stand-in for any issue or a compliment to the full newsletter on off-months.
Premiere Issue
The first issue is a special evergreen edition with strategic content. It can be used in place of a practice brochure, as part of a Shock & Awe package, welcome kit, or a give-away at events and speaking engagements.
Content Guidelines and Topic Ideas
It is common to struggle with what kind of content to create or how much to write. A detailed Content Guideline provides over 20 different topic ideas, word counts, plus a visual template.
The Repoz
Newsletter clients receive exclusive access to the Zine Article Repository (the Repoz) to choose quality content and articles to include in their newsletters. These will be relevant and interestingly written in the fun, engaging style that we love so much. Select from a treasure trove of articles, images, recipes, puzzles from our article repository that you can add as-is, or customize to fit your style and message.
Planning Calendar
A 12-month planning calendar keeps the newsletter moving forward by setting aside time for ideas and writing.
Reminders, & Marketing Checklist
We send a reminder email with a checklist that ensures the content meets all the necessary marketing requirements.
Beautiful Custom Design and Professional Layout
We always hear how it’s all about the content. But people are still severely influenced by beauty. Our professional designers make sure every newsletter is a show-stopper in your readers’ mailboxes. The final product is a beautiful 4-page layout that matches our client's brand style and tone, including images and graphics.

We take care of the printing and mailing to streamline the process and ensure the results meet our high quality standards.
