Secrets to Successful Newsletters
Most nonprofit newsletters are sent with the intention of keeping donors up-to-date on the activities of the organization. Unfortunately, with nonprofit staff juggling more balls than ever before, the newsletter can fall to the bottom of the priority list and get put together hastily. The result? Crap in print. Or online.
I’ve been there and I know how hard it can be to come up with interesting stuff to put in your newsletter while you’re managing grant deadlines, finance reports, and a million other things.
That’s why I created Secrets to Successful Newsletters. In easy-to-follow steps, I’ll show you how to put together a newsletter that donors will read AND respond to! Here are the 5 simple steps to creating stellar newsletters:
- Decide what you want your newsletter to be.
- Plan your newsletter.
- Write your newsletter.
- Send your newsletter.
- Measure your results.
