Week 10 - Newsletters



What information could your business use for a newsletter, and how often would you send one? Write a list of content ideas you think your customers would enjoy seeing and why.

Well, as I have mentioned, this particular adventure lends itself easily to visual and written advertisement.  For a newsletter, crafts are ideally suited.  A newsletter could contain ads for tools, locations for new schematics, ideas for ways to create various parts of a model, glues and glue techniques, paper and paper uses, types and thicknesses…  This is just the beginning… 

When I first started out the craft, I searched endlessly for clamps, knives, paper types, paints, glues as mentioned…  To publish a newsletter with information leading to places to find the products and information would have been a great help to me!  Thus, providing this to others will help them and me in return…

I would think I could do this once a month… But I am not sure having never done something like this before.  I KNOW I could publish others works, there models, and links to cool models, but I am not sure how often I could find a new source for tools or materials once the readily available ones have been covered…  I will have to find out!

  2. I think you could cover other types of modeling as well. Pass along dates and places of modeling conventions.
    You could highlight examples of extreme modeling, super small or super large models. rare materials,or intricate designs.

  3. I think your newsletter could go hand-in-hand with a blog about where to find the items you need to get started with your craft. That is a great idea. You possibly could work a deal that if people mentioned you or your company to those places and say they saw it in your newsletter, those places might give them a small discount as a way of saying thank you for new business. Helping others get started is always a big help and when” you pay it forward” and help others, it always comes back with benefits to you.

  4. Karl, looking forward to see your newsletter. Don't know if listing prices and where one can get their materials at the best rate would be of any value.

    I'm sure you have all the sites listed on who's doing craft blogs in case you don't have this one, here it is: http://menwithpens.ca/model-blogging/
