Thursday, October 23, 2008 9:00am - 12:00pm

Learn the right questions to ask as you plan or revise your organization's newsletter.

Audience, mission, style, design-four questions you need to answer before you can go forward with your newsletter. Time, cost, software, distribution-four logistics items to consider, too. Add these eight elements together and you'll have the right mix to engage people-in print or on-line. Participants will come away with answers-or ready to answer-Patrice's eight questions.

You will learn:

  • Who your audience is and how best to reach them
  • Elements of good newsletter design
  • Where to find additional resources
  • Best time to mail or launch your newsletter
  • How much it will cost to produce and distribute
