It's been about 15 years since I developed my first e-mail newsletter. It's not rocket science. But I still come across clients that are missing the basics.

Here are some tips to get you started -- or to help you quickly review your existing e-mail newsletter and confirm that you're still in line with best practices to make it successful.

It's All About the Reader, Not You

Remember: When you're developing an e-mail newsletter, make it relevant and interesting to your audience. This sounds so simple, but I still see clients whose e-mail newsletters are "all about us" -- we've hired a new VP of sales, we landed a new client, etc. That's nice, but what's in it for the reader?

Not paying enough attention to your email marketing effort can lose you customers and compromise selling opportunities. While e-mail marketing is a great way to stay in contact with your customers, if handled badly it also has the power to ruin the relationship. You'll respect your customers and get the most out of your e-mail marketing efforts by avoiding these five critical mistakes:

1. No Opt-out Clause

The U.S. CAN-SPAM Act 2003 requires that your commercial e-mails contain an unsubscribe link making it easy for a list member to unsubscribe from your e-mails. It also makes good business sense.

To avoid your e-mail being perceived as spam, make sure that every outgoing e-mail contains an opt-out link that the recipient can click to unsubscribe from the list. Make sure that the link works and make sure that the system is in place for managing the process effectively. Respecting your list members by doing this is a way of saying that you care about your business and your relationship with your customers.
