		<description>Ryan, great to see you!  :-)  Your comments about opt-in are critical to building strong customer relationships.  One can ruin a budding relationship with one poor email message that isn&#039;t at all relevant.  A company should know its customers well enough to understand how they want information (newsletter, snail mail) and how often, as well as what they are interested in (if anything).  Opt-in is an important part of that conversation!

Brandon, you are right, content is very important.  Relevant content is the most important!  It can&#039;t be about me; it has to be about something that will help you.  Customers Rock! companies know which information to send to their customers, and which information not to send.  Thanks as always for the great insight, Brandon!

Silvia, you are the first photographer from stockxpert.com to come to my blog - welcome!  I use stockxpert.com almost exclusively for my blog graphics.  I like your blog, too; I am new to Photoshop, and it looks like you have some great tips there.  Thanks for the wonderful photo, too!  :-)</description>

		<description>I am a big favorite of newsletters, hoever, they &lt;b&gt; must &lt;/b&gt; be content rich.  From local realtor newsletters that show up in our mail to e-zines that flood my inbox, they must have something of value for me.

My word of advice (as a consumer) is to strengthen the value by adding content. More than anything, the newsletters brand you and your company.  Content, content, content.</description>

		<description>Newsletters and industry info are great tools for this.  Just make sure to always, always, always get permission.  Opt-ins are a must for this type of content distribution.  You don&#039;t want people getting upset and cleaning you out of their inbox thinking you&#039;re just another spammer ;)</description>
