Now, an Email & a Newsletter are almost the same, but with a basic difference between them. Sometimes, they are also referred by a single word “Email Newsletter”

Let us first understand, what an Email & a Newsletter is. By knowing what an email and newsletter is, you will also understand, what the basic difference between them is.

Email : An Email is a piece of information, which is used to provide updates about a new article or a post, that your company or blog has published. For example, if you are blogger and you have written a new article, then email is an effective way to let all your subscribers know about the article, so that they can go to your blog and read that article. The frequency of an email is much higher than a newsletters

Newsletter : A newsletter, is a piece of information, which is also used to provide news, but the news is more or less related to, the company or blog itself. For example, if you are a blogger and you are merging your blog with another blog, the you can send this “news” in the form of a newsletter, to all the subscribers of both the blogs, letting them know about the merger. The frequency of a newsletter is relatively lower, than that of an Email.
