Ezines and Digital Newsletters
What is an Ezine or is it a digital newsletter?
By now you've probably received and E-Newsletter or Ezine in your e-mail inbox. Technically speaking, E-Newsletters are rich format e-mail. Rich format e-mails contain graphics, hyperlinks and increasingly, Flash animations. E-newsletters are the digital form of print and television advertisement. Whatever marketing you do for your organization, from simple flyers to a television commercial, can be reproduced as rich format e-mail and sent directly to you clients. As to the question of whether it's called an Ezine or an E-Newsletter: E-Publishing mirrors traditional publishing. If your E-Publication looks more like a newsletter, then it is an E-Newsletter. If it looks like a high gloss magazine, then it is an Ezine.
What are the benefits of E-Newsletters?
