Thank you for your interest in a partnership in our Lawn, Garden and Landscapes specialist monthly ezine (Soon to be re-branded to suit all new partners).

Please find information below about what we are doing, how we will all benefit from the partnership and guidelines to ensure the ezine partnerships are able to function effectively. This will help to ensure a fair trade of effort and reward for partners.

In today’s competitive online and offline marketplace, we have recognised a growing need to build short and long term business relationships with new potential clients and continue to build our business relationships with our existing customers. We have found advertising is becoming less effective and more expensive to convert new customers.

The internet offers many new forms of advertising channels which initially appear quite cost effective but in reality, unless you are very experienced, these too become very ineffective and expensive.

Email marketing is no exception. While it is still the most effective marketing available today allowing you to convert more customers at a lower cost, there are many challenges which you need to overcome in order to effective use this form of marketing cost effectively. Some of the main challenges are:

With a good understanding of these challenges and how to effectively deal with them, we are able to offer a great opportunity to allow you to currently reach “over 2500 and growing monthly” targeted potential customers interested in Lawns, Gardens and Landscaping. This is in addition to your own list.

Once a month we send out our FREE eZine which provides unique Local “How To” Tips and DIY Knowledge provided by our team and our partners. Every month we give away 1 to 3 FREE prizes to readers who open the eZine. These are drawn through a 3rd party system where your list members privately verify if they “are” or “are not” the winner and that they were included in the draw. No one is able to see any names or email addresses!

Our partnership system is tailored so everyone benefits. You stay in control of your branding making the LGL Specialist eZine your own while benefiting from sharing lists to reach new potential clients. Our eZine is co-branded with both our logo and our partners logo and all email going to your list will show from your company’s “Business Email address”.

All eZine editions we have a “Provided By” section at the top of each ezine with all partners Business names and website links. Your article includes your logo and a link back to your site to continue reading your article, as shown in the example image.

You will have a valuable resource that serves to build a loyal community of customers. I am positive working together we can continue to grow our lists and more importantly benefit your clients with great local “How To” knowledge.
