Creating newsletters with Outlook - the best tips
In this practical tip, we will tell you what you should consider if you want to create a newsletter with Outlook.
The best tips: create newsletters in Outlook
If you would like to send a newsletter with Outlook for your business, we generally advise against it. You can find out exactly why here:
- First of all, you would need a template, i.e. a design for your mail. You can get this from Mashable.com, for example.
- You can insert this by clicking "Attachment", selecting the HTML file, but choosing the "Paste as Text" option in the lower right.
- Now you can start with the text. Please note that if the text is changed, the formatting of the email can be lost!
- Especially if you want to use the newsletter for your business, you would have to enter all emails by hand. We recommend entering them in the "BCC" field as a blind copy.
- The disadvantage: incorrect email addresses are not filtered out. You also have no overview of who received and read your mail and who did not.
- Furthermore, the recipients cannot unsubscribe from the newsletter with one click if they no longer want to receive it at some point.
- However, there is the advantage that there are no costs for creating the newsletter. Professional software can cost 100 euros very quickly.
- Conclusion: Sending a newsletter with Outlook only makes sense if you have a hand in emails and can do without an evaluation of the newsletter.
