Keep your customers trust; you don't want to be perceived as a spammer. Encourage Registration Give the customers plenty of reasons to sign up for your email newsletter. Tell the subscriber of the benefits that they will receive. Encourage registration with promotional prizes like coupons, shopping sprees, or free shipping.

You don't want them to be annoyed with getting the newsletter too often. At the same time, some prefer to be updated daily. You also want to make sure your email is successfully delivered.
