How to Write a Powerful Newsletter for Your Business
Most marketing people think of newsletters as quaint old things, like handwritten letters or mimeograph machines. While marketing is not immune to fads, newsletters are an absolute evergreen. After all, how can direct communication with your customers ever be a bad thing? And if you do it right, your customers will actually look forward to hearing from you!One reason newsletters are so hot is that no one is doing them. Some marketers may think they're hopelessly old school. Others may have tried to do them and failed (they're harder than they look). And still others are so buried under the avalanche of everyday emergencies that doing something as benign and friendly as a newsletter sounds almost unproductive.Newsletters are powerful. Think about what they are for a minute: it is a way for you to communicate directly with your customers at regular intervals. Most other marketing communications efforts are hit-or-miss. You place an ad that is seen by people who might be interested in your product bu

Be Sure You Are Understood Before Acting and You Can Make Progress at 20 Times the Usual Rate
I heard this story told about film director Cecil B. DeMille. I have no way of knowing if it's true, but the story beautifully captures the communications stall.Mr. DeMille spared no expense to part the Red Sea for his epic production of The Ten Commandments. Actors, engineers, horses, and assorted other animals were everywhere. The dust, heat, and noise were ferocious. Finally, everyone was ready to go and DeMille called out, "Roll the cameras" and "Action." After he finished shooting the scene, DeMille called to a cameraman on a high cliff to check on how that part of the filming had gone. The cameraman reportedly yelled back, "Ready when you are, C.B.!"If the story were true, DeMille should have checked to see if the camera was rolling before shouting "Action."You should do the same. Check first to see if your message is received and correctly understood before going into action. Ask people what they heard and what they plan to do, and keep repeating the message in different ways to rein
