60 Great Email
Newsletter Examples To
Guide & Inspire You

Introduction

We love collections of newsletter examples. When clients hire us to create their email newsletters, one of the first things we do is study other newsletters for ideas and inspiration. And we have a feeling that's why you're here, too. But we find most newsletter example compilations lacking.Many are poorly organized (if they're organized at all). They contain a bunch of random email newsletters from various industries, which doesn't help if you're looking for inspiration for a specific niche.

But worst of all, while they may explain why they like the newsletters on their list, they don't explain how the newsletter helps the business that produces it. And at the end of the day, the purpose of the email newsletter is to serve your business. So we decided to create our own newsletter example compilation that succeeds where others fail. We've collected 60 great examples of email newsletters and organized them by industry. For each newsletter, we provide a background on the business behind it and who their target market is. And we break down the contents of each email newsletter and show you how each part works to serve the business's bottom line.

By reading this article, you'll not only get all the ideas and inspiration you need for your newsletter, you'll also gain a better understanding of how newsletters work and how they accomplish business objectives. And, most importantly, you'll be able to reverse-engineer your own email newsletter based on your audience and goals. If you want to get straight to our list of newsletter examples, feel free to skip ahead to that section. Otherwise, to help you get the most value from our list, let's first discuss the purpose of a newsletter.

The Purpose
Of An Email Newsletter

Before you can understand why a newsletter is good and how it
works, you must first understand what the purpose of an email newsletter
is.

Every email newsletter needs to accomplish two objectives:

  • Keep Subscribers Engaged
  • Accomplish Business Objectives
Mail-sent1

1- Keep Subscribers Engaged

In order to be useful to your business, a newsletter has to keep subscribers engaged.By engaged, we mean opening and reading each newsletter you send out. For that to happen, your newsletter must be valuable to subscribers and it must contain content that benefits them in one (or more) of three ways:

  • Actionable Newsletter Content
  • Informative Newsletter Content
  • Entertaining Newsletter Content

One way to make your newsletter beneficial to subscribers is by incorporating information that's actionable.
Actionable newsletter content is information that helps subscribers resolve pain points and/or achieve goals related
to the company's products.

For example, Beardbrand is a company that sells male grooming products (particularly for beards). Their email newsletter incorporates articles and videos that cover male grooming topics including how to care for your hair and how to groom your beard. Subscribers who want to stay well-groomed will find lots of value in the tips they share. Reflectly, one of our past clients, is a journaling app that uses artificial intelligence to help users structure and reflect upon their daily thoughts in order to improve their mental health and become happier.

Together, we created a newsletter that shares mental health tips (how to manage anger, how to stay positive during quarantine, etc.). The tips not only help
subscribers improve their mental health, they also work as journal entry topics that subscribers can use if they don't know what to write about. Another form of
actionable newsletter content is deals and discounts. Subscribers can use this content to achieve their goal of saving money and getting the products they want. Goop is a retail brand that sells wellness products. They use their email newsletter to promote their latest sales and deals to their subscribers.

Actionable
Newsletter
Content

Informative newsletters keep subscribers updated with important information that they want and/or need. Unlike useful newsletter content, informative newsletter content doesn’t necessarily need to be actionable. It’s more important that
the information be relevant and timely. Informative content can come in the form breaking news, new product releases,
company/product updates, and more.

For example, Buffer is a social media tool that marketers can use for social media management and analytics.Their
newsletter shares informative content in the form of updates to social media platforms (i.e. algorithm changes) and updates to Buffer’s software (i.e. new features).

Another example comes from Minority Mindset, a website and newsletter that shares advice on how to make, save, and invest money. In their email newsletter, they share trending news stories and analyses of how those news stories may affect their subscribers finances and investments.

To create informative newsletter content, ask yourself:

  • What information do my subscribers need/want to know?
  • What kinds of information will help my subscribers make decisions?
  • What information and updates about my company/products do my subscribers want to know?

Informative
Newsletter
Content

Another way to benefit subscribers that often gets overlooked is entertainment.
Entertaining newsletter content is content that’s humorous, interesting, inspiring, or fun. If your newsletter content entertains subscribers, they'll keep coming back for more.
To create entertaining newsletter content, you can either incorporate content that’s entertaining or present
informative/actionable content in an entertaining way.

Huckberry is an e-commerce company that sells men’s lifestyle/adventure products. Their email newsletter includes a “Diversions” section where they share articles curated from sources all over the internet that subscribers can use to entertain themselves throughout the day.
The Middle Finger Project is a blog devoted to helping women build businesses and design the lifestyle of their dreams. Their email newsletter contains mostly actionable content. But it uses swear words and humorous anecdotes to make things more fun and entertaining.

To create entertaining newsletter content, ask yourself:

  • What kind of content can I share that’ll keep my subscribers entertained?
  • How can I present my actionable or informative content in a more entertaining way?

2- Accomplish Business Objectives

A valuable email newsletter keeps subscribers engaged. And by keeping subscribers engaged, you'll create opportunities to accomplish business
objectives, including:

  • Boost Sales:

    You can use your email newsletter to promote your products and share exclusive discounts that drive sales. Adidas uses their email newsletter to promote products that are tailored to each subscribers interests. They also use it to promote their latest sales.

  • Promote Blog
    Content:

    Email is one of the best channels for promoting blog content. Subscribers are much more likely to see, read, and share your blog content than other promotional channels. HubSpot uses their email newsletter to share curated articles from their blog. Sometimes they share their latest blog posts; other times they share blog posts curated around a theme like agency marketing or social media.

  • Cultivate Brand &
    Authority:

    You can use your email newsletter to nurture subscribers into a position where they're ready to buy your products and services. One of the best ways to do so is by sending them content that helps you establish authority in your niche and build a positive relationship with your audience. Morning Brew shares trending financial news stories and analyzes how those stories will impact their subscribers investments. By doing so, they position themselves as an authority on finance/investing and build a positive relationship with subscribers by helping them make sense of world events.

  • Demonstrate Value:

    Another way to nurture leads with your email newsletter is by demonstrating the value of your products and services. You can share case studies that demonstrate that your products/services work and position them as the best solution to your audience's problems. Rankings.io shares videos that break down exactly how they helped past clients increase their SEO rankings.

  • Promote Other Offerings &
    Marketing Channels:

    You can use your email newsletter to promote everything your business has to offer, including podcasts, related products, social media channels, other newsletters, and more. Daily Worth uses their email newsletter to promote their podcast. LeadPages uses their email newsletter to promote their other tools, like LeadQuizzes.

  • Keep Subscribers
    Informed:

    You can use your email newsletter to keep subscribers informed about any updates or changes to your business. Buffer uses their email newsletter to share updates to their software. Lookout Farm uses their email newsletter to share their seasonal fruit-picking events. Bombas uses their email newsletter to inform subscribers when their products are on sale.

Putting Your
Newsletter Together

Otherwise, it's about time we get to what you came here for - newsletter examples.

Mail-sent1

To help you get the most from the examples shared below, we suggest you start by:

  • 1) Determining what kind of newsletter content will
    best keep your subscribers engaged - actionable,
    informative, or entertaining.

    Of course, your email newsletter can include all three. But it's likely that one of the three will be more important to your audience than the others. Figure out which one.

  • 2) Determining what business objectives you
    want to accomplish with your newsletter.

    The list of objectives we shared above is far from complete. Newsletters can be used to accomplish so many things. But be careful not to overwhelm your subscribers by including too much in your newsletter. Each objective you include takes a bit away from your ability to accomplish the others. We recommend that you start with just two to three objectives that will have the greatest impact on your business.

  • 3) Find and study the most relevant
    newsletters below.

    We've organized our newsletter examples into sections based on industry. We tried to cover as many as we could. While you can probably learn something from every example in our list, we suggest you start by finding the industries and companies that are most relevant to yours and studying theirs first.
    Oh, and by the way, each newsletter example below is divided into sections:

    • Company Background: A brief background on the company and their target market.
    • What's In The Email Newsletter: A breakdown of the newsletter's content and how it benefits subscribers.
    • How It Helps Business: A breakdown of how the newsletter content benefits the business.

Product Stories:

Fashion Tips & Advice:
Vogue's newsletters share fashion tips and advice to their mostly female audience. This advice gives the newsletters practical value

How It Helps Business:

Improves audience Relationship:
Vogue knows what their audience likes best. Their newsletters offer a convenient way for their audience to choose and receive the Vogue content that they want most, without having to search for it. By giving readers what they want most in a convenient format, Vogue is building a better relationship with their audience and keeping them engaged.
Keeps Audience Engaged/Reduces Friction:
The effort required to find and consume the Vogue content they want is a form of friction for Vogue's audience. In other words, while their audience loves Vogue's content, they may not always feel compelled to spend time going through Vogue's magazines to find the things they're most interested in. They may decide it's not worth the trouble. But by curating and delivering the content readers love, Vogue keeps them engaged and constantly reminds them of the value Vogue has to offer.
Web Traffic:
The convenient delivery of their top content to subscribers inboxes is a great way to generate web traffic. I'd be willing to bet that a sizable chunk - if not a majority - of the traffic to Vogue's web content comes from their newsletter.
