Newsletters remain among the most common communication tactics. Whether printed or digital, they’re often a significant element of an organization’s overall strategy. Newsletters can provide a way to share information directly with priority audiences, but only if they’re being read. Is your newsletter keeping up with changing reading habits in a social media age?
Join us on November 13 to hear from Kristie Aylett, APR, Fellow PRSA, who will help attendees:
- Apply industry research and trends to their communication tactics
- Identify ways to make their newsletters more effective
- Examine the future viability of newsletters as a PR tool
