I have an interesting problem. Some of my newsletter subscribers are missing out on prizes. 0.O
This year I’m releasing a new book (2nd edition from my series or a Quick Read) every 3 weeks. With each new release, one lucky newsletter subscriber is picked at random to receive a prize. Last month it was an autographed book and this month it was a beautiful, handmade wooden book charm on a keychain. But my subscribers aren’t opening the newsletter -or- haven’t told their mail server the email is friendly and shouldn’t go to junk. Last month I was able to send the autographed book to a happy runner-up. This month the winner and the runner-up failed to respond. An awesome prize unclaimed.
So how do I tell my subscribers to please watch for the newsletter and read it because they are missing out on some lovely prizes? I will put it in my newsletter but isn’t that like having a billboard on a highway that says “If you can’t read, please call this number and we will hook you up with a tutor. -Brought to you by the Literacy Council.” If they aren’t opening the newsletter I question how effective, putting the notice there, would be. The other option is what I’m doing now. I’m posting here in my blog and have put a notice on FaceBook and will on Twitter.
Please. I have a newsletter to share things with those who are interested in my writing. The letters are happy. If you would like to be eligible to win a prize and want to be on my newsletter you can sign up on this page or, if you need a link for some reason, here it is. I would love to have you as part of the family. http://eepurl.com/bM5fYH
