The newsletter is currently read by around 2500 subscribers in over 80 countries and is advertised regularly on Facebook, X, Instagram and Linked In. Please note; 1000 people were taken off the list in the last quarter of 2023 to ensure that the readsers who are left are actively opening and interacting.
The most productive adverts have an online element that does not restrict the demographic. For example events that also offer online products, or services that can be accessed by phone/internet as well as in person. Events need to be residential or easily accessible to a wide area.
Since the newsletter archive has a long shelf-life with search engines, please mention any add-on services that are not date-sensitive if you're advertising an event. e.g. Your workshop advert can be enhanced with a link to online consultations or products. If you'd like to see if your ad would be suitable and get my top marketing advice, please read the tips and guidelines and to look at previous newstters click here.

Would you give a stranger your number? Making Your Advert More Effective
Probably not - most of us wouldn't. Business is no different - it's about building trust and familiarity. Whatever you're offering, your potential customers need time to get to know you. Appearing in an opt-in enewsletter which attracts the market you want is like having a personal, trusted introduction. It's not always about how many people are on the mailing list either - how many actually get delivered and opened are important factors too. Spirit of Transformation has open rates way above the industry average.
A one-off ad isn't enough to build a relationship. In an enewsletter you may be luckier because it's already in a trusted source and readers may have heard of you before, so it could be the nudge they need. However, you might use at least part of your ad to generate leads for the future. It's like getting business cards at a networking event or swapping details at a workshop. For people to part with their contact details you need to offer something they value as well as something representative of your service. It gives them a taster so they can decide if they'd like more. It could be your top tips, a relaxation technique, a way to resolve conflict or your best hayfever remedy. Whatever it is, make sure it's something helpful that they will value.
Increasing the Exposure of Your Advert
Even after the main issue date, each newsletter continues to go to new subscribers throughout the month and is posted on Twitter and Facebook. It is then archived on the website, so google will find your ad for a year or more.
'I had such a huge response from my adverts - and Nikki's advice on what would work best was invaluable. Within just a few days I had over 28 people sign up to my programme. This is really the spirit of co-operation as well as a wonderful partnership and I will definitely advertise again!' Sarupa Shah, The Soul Agent Blog
