audience of the
newsletter. This could be
anyone who might benefit
from the information it
contains, for example,
employees or people
interested in purchasing a
product or requesting
your service.
You can compile a mailing
list from business reply
cards, customer
information sheets,
Business cards collected
at trade shows, or
membership lists. You
might consider purchasing
a mailing list from a
company.
Next, establish how much
time and money you can
spend on your newsletter.
These factors will help
determine how frequently
you publish the newsletter
and its length.
