如何选择一个名称为您的电子邮件时事通讯

When it comes to naming your newsletter, brainstorming is one of the most effective ways. Before you put pen to paper, let your target audience guide you. Who are they? How do you want your catchy newsletter to help them?

Keeping these answers in mind, you can now start to list words about your unique selling proposition and the segment of the market that you serve. You can even turn to the name of your business as a source of inspiration. If you get stuck and run out of words that you can list, an online dictionary can help you to identify synonyms and other phrases that can also work. Then, using this list of words, you can use one of the following approaches to come up with newsletter name ideas that will be unique and stand out.

强g alliteration

If you have forgotten the lesson about figures of speech and sound devices, alliteration is the use of the same letter or sounds at the beginning of consecutive words. The effectiveness of this approach is that the name of the newsletter becomes easier to pronounce and remember.

The following are three examples of brands that managed to use alliteration without making it sound corny:

• The Daily Dispatch (by AskMen’s)
• Mention Memo (by Mention)
• Maker Mind (by Ness Labs

强g puns

A clever play on words can help you to create attention-grabbing headlines for your newsletters that will for sure stand out in your subscribers’ inboxes.

For example, John Fox, the founder of Bookfox, dubbed his weekly newsletter, Take Your Writamins. He explains that his newsletter is a resource for writers that offers them the nutrients they need to build their writing career.

Here are other examples of how brands have used puns in their newsletters’ titles:

• Fresh Thoughts (by Second Harvest)
• Shelf Awareness (a free e-newsletter aimed at readers and people in the book business)
• Extra Paint (by Efdot, a visual artist and community builder)

强g a reference to time

When creating content, whether it is a newsletter or an Instagram Story, it is key that you use a schedule. So, if you know which will be thebest day of the week to send your newsletter, one option is to include it in the name of your newsletter.

Here are some real-life examples:

• The Sunday Brunch Newsletter (by Allen Gannett)
• Monday Morning Memo (by Smith County Chamber of Commerce)
• The Friyay Fuel (a newsletter by Jenna Backus)

If including the day of the week in your name is too specific, somewhere in the title, you can simply include the word “weekly” or “monthly” (or even “quarterly”), depending on the frequency that you will be sending your newsletters. Here are some examples:

• The Weekly Wrap-up
• Best of the Week by [Your Brand’s Name]
• Monthly Highlights by [Your Brand’s Name]
• The Quarterly Round-up
• The Monthly Bulletin by [Your Brand’s Name]
• Thoughts of the Week by [Your Brand’s Name]

强g an adjective followed by a noun

If some of the other approaches sound too complex, this one is much simpler. All you have to do is identify an adjective followed by what your business does. You can even try to include alliteration like the Dense Discovery in the following examples:

• The Thrifty Homesteader (by Deborah Niemann)
• Dense Discovery (by Kai Brach)

强g your name

If you like to keep things even simpler, you can just name your newsletter after yourself. With authenticity becoming more important to brands, you can use it to your advantage and name your newsletter after yourself or your brand.

The following are just a fewcontent creators and blogswho have chosen this less-is-more approach:

对,所以你去找的工作memorable name for your newsletter, now what? It will be of no real use if your target audience only saw this name after they received their first newsletter from you, right? The following are some suggestions for where you can advertise the name of your email newsletter.

Sign-up form

While sign-up forms on one of your website’s pages typically do not have a lot of space, there should be adequate room to include the name of your newsletter. After all, visitors would like to know what they will actually be signing up for.

Landing page

Ideally, you want to take it one step further and design a landing page solely dedicated to encouraging your target audience to sign up for your newsletter. As it offers more space than a sign-up form, you can also let your target audience know what type of content you will cover and how often you will send newsletters (if this is not made obvious in its name). To make this approach more effective, you can include a lead magnet like a printable planner, free eBook, or a checklist. This way, visitors who land on your landing page will have an added incentive to join your newsletter subscriber list.
