If you already have a newsletter designed and you simply need content for the newsletter that leads to your website, it will be on the low end.

For the setup, you’re paying us for our expertise in design, and our technical know-how in working with email newsletter programs. For writing the newsletters, you’re paying us for our writing and marketing skills, and the time it takes to consult with you about what topics should be covered.
