Newsletters are like email: you love them and you hate them. They are key to keeping your audience informed and connected. But newsletters are very difficult to do well and on a regular basis. Are they read? Does your audience care about the content?
In our experience, here is what it takes to develop a succesful newsletter program:
- a strategy to meet readers' various interests
- a commitment to publish on schedule
- an organized and passionate person who can gather relevant stories and facts
- a writer who can take the time to stop everything for several days and commit to producing a newsletter
- a person who can lay out and illustrate the newsletter to make the reading enticing and the important data stand out.
- a way to measure readership using today's most effective online marketing techniques.

“Life was very dark, really sad. It was like I was not living,” said Vanessa, now 18, healthy, and in her third semester of college. She credits SMHC’s Dr. Marguerite Hogan with saving her life.

PAWSitive Approach: Guide Dogs of Texas is the only organization of any kind in Texas that is using offenders off the prison grounds to work with animals.
“Guide Dogs of Texas does more than help the visually impaired,” said Aaron Spencer, a puppy raiser with GDTx’s PAWSitive Approach program. “They help change the lives of people like me that have made some poor decisions in their lives.”
