CONTENT:
Each newsletter contains money-saving tips that are up-to-date, simple, useful and down-to-earth.
We send out two e-mail newsletters in HTML format twice a month on the first and third Thursday (we just changed from Friday) of each month.
We have created a publication that people read carefully. Because of the amount of email and spam people receive, we decided send only a few each month but packed with meaty content. Each newsletter contains a variety of about four articles. We believe that each reader will find at least one article useful and compelling.
On the Thursdays that the email is received our web traffic jumps dramatically due to readers clicking on links within the newsletter and others reading the issue online.
DEMOGRAPHICS:
Our audience is about 80% female, college age or older, with at least some college, who make an average or better income. They may be single or married, with children or without.
TRACKING
We can track clickthrough links in the newsletter and provide detailed stats on web pages traffic.

What SAVVY-DISCOUNTS.com e-mail newsletter
is all about by Editor, Rick Doble
Now in our tenth year, I believe the average household can save as much as $6,000 a year with no extra work and no change in life style. At SAVVY-DISCOUNTS.com we show people how to shop smarter not harder. People can live very well but free themselves from the burden of debt and then set themselves free to do the things they really want like take a vacation, or retire early, or buy a house or start a business. We don't tell anyone how to live their life. We'll just give people more ways to save so they can choose the tips that are right for them.
We are the experts. No publication knows more about the nuts-and-bolts of a wide variety of average everyday expenses. We can save consumers money on groceries, utilities, travel, prescriptions, credit cards, health care, appliances, home repair, cell phones and telephone expenses, clothes, insurance, automobiles costs and more.
Our newsletter is fun to read. When our paper edition was published several people wrote to say that they read it cover to cover on the day it arrived and then passed it along to family and friends.
I have lived this way my whole life. I learned many tricks from my father when I was very young and used these skills to put myself through graduate school (Masters in Communications) without taking out a loan, for example. I have always cherished the freedom to live my life my own way and knowing how to spend less money gave me that freedom.
