Social media is useful, but a post reaches only the share of followers a platform chooses to show it to. A newsletter goes to everyone who asked for it. For a Grenadian business whose customers are scattered between the three islands and several continents, that direct line is worth a lot. Here is why.
1. It bridges the off-season
Tourism in Grenada is seasonal. A guest who stayed in February may not think of the island again until next winter unless you remind them. A monthly newsletter with news, photos and an early-booking offer keeps you in mind until they are ready to plan.
2. It reaches people who have left the island
Visitors fly home, students graduate from St. George’s University and move on, and Grenadians live and work abroad. Their inbox travels with them. A newsletter is often the only channel that follows them after they leave.
3. You own the list
Your email list belongs to your business. If a social platform changes its rules or your account is restricted, your subscribers are still there. Build it carefully with subscription forms and it becomes one of your most valuable assets.
4. It works on the phones people use
With internet use at 74.1% of the population at the start of 2025 (DataReportal, Digital 2025: Grenada), most of your local audience is online, largely on mobile. Mailpro newsletters adapt to any screen, so a reader can open, read and click without zooming.
5. It can be personal at scale
Use personalisation to greet readers by name or show content for their island, and segmentation to send different versions to locals, visitors and trade buyers. A Carriacou guesthouse can mention the Regatta to sailors and the quiet season to families.
6. You can measure it
Every send gives you data: who opened, which links they clicked, which offers worked. The statistics dashboard shows it in real time, so you can see whether your Spicemas offer beat your Independence Day one and plan next year accordingly.
7. The cost per message is low
Compared with print, radio or paid advertising, a newsletter costs very little per reader. Mailpro prices by the messages you send, not by the size of your list, and you can start with 500 free credits.
Getting it right
A newsletter only works if people want it. Ask permission, send useful content, and make leaving easy. That also keeps you in line with the rules that apply to overseas readers, such as CAN-SPAM, CASL and the GDPR. Include a clear call-to-action button in every issue so readers know what to do next.
A newsletter supports every other channel
Your newsletter can drive people to your social pages, your website, your booking engine or your shop. It can announce a new product before anyone else hears about it, or remind locals about an event that you have been posting about online. Readers who get your newsletter are usually your most engaged customers, so they are also the people most likely to share your news.
