Internal newsletter software facilitates the creation, distribution, and management of newsletters within an organization. Newsletters can help businesses boost employee engagement as well as create a stronger organizational culture. These newsletters are intended for internal audiences, such as employees, and external stakeholders. Internal newsletter software streamlines the process of communicating important information, updates, announcements, and other relevant content within a company.
Internal newsletters are often included as a component of holistic employee communications platforms, which use a variety of methods to promote top-down and bottom-up communication. However, internal newsletter software can also be sold as a standalone solution for companies that prefer newsletters to other methods of internal communication, such as face-to-face updates, intranets, or mobile apps. Along with company-wide news and announcements, newsletters can also be used by individual departments or teams for more focused and segmented communication. Further, they can be used to communicate with office-based, hybrid, and remote-based employees as well as front-line workers.
To qualify for inclusion in the Internal Newsletter category, a product must:
Provide a variety of newsletter templates that can be modified to align with a company’s branding needs
Enable users to add and format text, images, links, and other multimedia elements to create engaging content
Distribute newsletters to specific groups or the entire organization
Provide analytics and insights regarding open rates, click-through rates, and other metrics to measure the effectiveness of newsletters
