Company Newsletters – Print or Electronic?

That’s a question many businesses and nonprofit organizations are asking

 

Scottsdale, AZ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/06/2006 --Of the various marketing vehicles to choose from, many businesses and nonprofits have enthusiastically embraced the “company” newsletter. What better way to stay top-of-mind with consumers, customers or supporters to build sales and revenue? Yet, more and more organizations have abandoned their print newsletters, opting instead for online versions. Although e-newsletters may be more cost-effective to produce, those who choose this one communication channel exclusively over the other may not be making the best business decision.

The tips and advice are very valuable and we’ve heard nothing but positive comments from our members.”

Topics covered include: developing a newsletter marketing strategy, whether to use internal or external resources, advice on printing and distribution, how frequently to produce a newsletter, how to measure results, and finally, the ultimate question - should you print it or to send it by e-mail?
