Sitting down and working out all the details of how an opt-in email marketing campaign will work often includes conversations about whether to produce content in-house or to hire professional content writers to create the desired email newsletter content. The choice will probably ride on a couple of factors. One will be whether there is an appropriate person or department for handling the writing and editing of content. Another will be how the time involved in creating content will be fit into the budget or schedule. The way that works for many is to first look at the current company structure and seeing how it handles this type of thing. Is there a person or department that uses social networking and other social marketing tools who might already be tapped in to how the market tends to work? Is there a writer who would be ideal for creating the content? Is there a staff member who would enjoy (and be proficient at) uploading content into the template, sending newsletters and looking at the statistics (such as click-through rates) to gauge the success of different tactics? If so, how can these new tasks be fit into their workweek? Is there room in the budget for more hours to facilitate everything getting done or will they need to fit this into their existing schedule? Is there flexibility for spreading the work out more so that no one person is trying to fit everything in? Obviously, giving new tasks to employees isn't exactly something that is out of the norm, you simply want to make sure that it is a good fit so that content can be produced on an ongoing basis without stops and starts or other aspects of the business having to be put on the back burner.
Obviously, for those who would need to hire on a person to take care of email marketing content production, there is another option, and that is to purchase not just sending services and a template, but also custom content. Having your content professionally written will go a long way to ensure that each newsletter is well written with marketing principles in mind. Professional content writers will work hard to ensure that your newsletter is written in your "voice" and is tailored to have your marketing goals in mind. In many ways, this is much the same as it would be had you hired a new person, only far less expensive, generally. If the company that provides you your template is the same company who employs the writer who creates your content then you can rest easy knowing that everyone involved knows exactly how the process works and what needs to happen to create the best possible email marketing newsletter.
