Subscribers to your newsletter are potential customers for you and deserve to be treated like the VIPs they are.

Do opinion Polls/surveys to find what subscribers like 4. Target your advertising Create trust -credibility: Good content in your newsletter will do this. Info articles and tips are the main source of content. If possible use either freshly written articles or write your own. Tips are always popular, small jokes and sayings are often used to lighten up the newsletter. All these things will help your readers enjoy their newsletter and when you publish a good quality newsletter it will boost your credibility and create trust with your subscribers.
