Catchy Newsletter Name

Your newsletter is not plain or simple. It is awesome!!! I love the layout and the color scheme is fabulous. What program do you use to create it?

Thanks! It really isn't as complicated as it looks; I create my newsletter as a table in Word, using two columns and three rows. The first row is my title, second is the little one with the date, and the thrird row is the actual newsletter.

Using FORMAT, I add shading and borders. Then I cut and paste the host and guest info from Consultant’s Corner. My kitchen tips and weird date info come from http://www.foodreference.com/html/triviatips.html and http://www.holidayinsights.com/.

The animated graphics are downloaded from Microsoft's website; I access it from the document when I go to INSERT CLIPART. I just choose "clips online" and specify animated clips. I also create the doc in "WEB VIEW" in word. To do this,click on VIEW in Word, then select WEB VIEW. Be careful not to make your newsletter too long and don’t use too many pictures. Clip art isn’t as graphic intensive as photos. Use word pictures instead of pictures whenver possible; many email programs can't handle too many graphics or too much text, and your readers will quit before they get to the end.

To send, from Word I choose "Send To" and then select mail recipient. I've got a group I created with all the email addresses in it. (Actually I have two groups, a thorugh l and m through z) I put my email as the recipient, then BCC (blind copy) my group so my customers’ email addresses remain private.

Does that make sense?

Snacks? Sales? Specials?

I was thinking SUSAN is sizzling.

You know - You are so hot! (meaning a great seller or recruiter - your business is great...)
