Title: Networking and promotion - help and advice welcome
Post by: Ray Baxter on December 03, 2013, 09:23:02 pm

Hi everyone,

The longer-darker nights have given us a little more time for reflection. Many conversations later we have decided to try to raise our profile a little. It's very easy to get bogged down with all the work that needs doing and forget that we are trying to create a sustainable business. Anyway, I was given the job of writing a newsletter. Does anyone have any experience of using newsletter's? are they effective? are they worth the bother? (see attached if you fancy a read)

Cheers, Ray

I like newsletters and blogs, but only online or if I can download to my kindle.  I wouldn't bother with a printed one.

That's a great newsletter - now I'm feeling guilty that my blog is not updated!! (about a year now...)
