Inside Story Headline

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 150-200 words.

One benefit of using your

newsletter as a promotional tool

is that you can reuse content

from other marketing materials,

such as press releases, market

studies, and reports.

While your main goal of

distributing a newsletter might

be to sell your product or

service, the key to a successful

newsletter is making it useful to

your readers.

A great way to add useful

content to your newsletter is to

develop and write your own

articles, or include a calendar of

upcoming events or a special

offer that promotes a new

product.

You can also research articles or

find “filler” articles by accessing

the World Wide Web. You can

write about a variety of topics

but try to keep your articles

short.

Much of the content you put in

your newsletter can also be used

for your Web site. Microsoft

Publisher offers a simple way to

convert your newsletter to a

Web publication. So, when

you’re finished writing your

newsletter, convert it to a Web

site and post it.

This story can fit 100-150 words.

The subject matter that appears

in newsletters is virtually endless.

You can include stories that

focus on current technologies or

innovations in your field.

You may also want to note

business or economic trends, or

make predictions for your

customers or clients.

If the newsletter is distributed

internally, you might comment

upon new procedures or

improvements to the business.

Sales figures or earnings will

show how your business is

growing.

Some newsletters include a

column that is updated every

issue, for instance, an advice

column, a book review, a letter

from the president, or an

editorial. You can also profile

new employees or top

customers or vendors.

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 75-125 words.

Selecting pictures or graphics is

an important part of adding

content to your newsletter.

Think about your article and ask

yourself if the picture supports

or enhances the message you’re

trying to convey. Avoid selecting

images that appear to be out of

context.

Microsoft Publisher includes

thousands of clip art images from

which you can choose and

import into your newsletter.

There are also several tools you

can use to draw shapes and

symbols.

Once you have chosen an image,

place it close to the article. Be

sure to place the caption of the

image near the image.

“To catch the

reader's attention,

place an interesting

sentence or quote

from the story here.”
