diseases by physical

barriers, inflammatory

responses, and your

immune system.

eat a healthy, balanced

diet, drink water, reduce

your stress levels,

,exercise regularly, and

get regular medical check

many different pathogens

in so many places that it is

impossible to avoid them.

bacterial disease. Its

symptoms include sore

throat, fever, and yellow or

white specks on tonsils. It

can be spread by contact

with mucus from an

infected person. Tetanus

viral disease with

symptoms of headache,

sore muscles and throat,

fever, vomiting, fatigue,

and cough. It spreads by

contact with saliva or

mucus of an infected

person and by personal

contact. The cold is also a

common viral disease with

symptoms of scratchy,

diarrhea, and sometimes

Newsletter Title Page 3 of 6

The purpose of a

newsletter is to provide

specialized information to

a targeted audience.

Newsletters can be a great

way to market your

product or service, and

also can create credibility

and build your

organization’s identity

among peers, members,

employees, or vendors.

First, determine the

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 in

Inside Story Headline

You can also research

articles or find “filler”

articles by accessing the

World Wide Web. You can

write about a variety of

topics, but try to keep your

articles short.

Much of the content you

put in your newsletter can

also be used for your Web

site. Microsoft Word offers

a simple way to convert

your newsletter to a Web

publication. So, when

you’re finished writing

your newsletter, convert it

to a Web site and post it.

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 your

newsletter and its length.

It’s recommended that you

publish your newsletter at

least quarterly so that it’s

considered a consistent

source of information.

Your customers or

employees will look

forward to its arrival.

Your headline is an

important part of the

newsletter and should be

considered carefully.

appears in newsletters is

virtually endless. You can

include stories that focus

on current technologies or

innovations in your field.

You may also want to note

business or economic

trends, or make

predictions for your

customers or clients.

If the newsletter is

distributed internally, you

might comment upon new

procedures or

improvements to the

business. Sales figures or

earnings will show how

your business is growing.

Some newsletters include

a column that is updated

every issue, for instance,

an advice column, a book

review, a letter from the

president, or an editorial.

You can also profile new

employees or top

customers or vendors.

Selecting pictures or

graphics is an important

part of adding content.
