How to Create an Email Newsletter for Your Restaurant

On this page I'm going to show you step-by-step, exactly how to create an email newsletter for you restaurant.

If you need any help at any point, or would just like me to set everything up for you instead, my contact information is at the bottom of the page.

So, let's get started with creating your email newsletter...

Step 1: Get Your Email Software

If you're going to build a list of hundreds (or thousands) of customers and potential customers, you need the right software to be able to do it. You couldn't just, for example, create a list in Gmail and send from there as the software just isn't designed for it and your email would end up in the spam folder.

Instead, you need to use specific email marketing software. The software I recommend you use is GetResponse and here's why....

  • I've been using GetResponse for my own email lists and those of my clients for over 20 years!
  • It is totally free to get started and remains free until you have over 500 subscribers.
  • Low cost: When you have over 500 subscribers it is less than £10 per month for up to 1000 and only £16 per month up to 2500 subscribers. 
  • Getresponse makes it very easy to add people to your email list and to send them professionally designed email newsletters.
