In trying to keep with my comments made last week, I have a question for
you. My department, along with QA, have been asked to develop a company
newsletter for our small company. I am excited about this, because we are
using our newly designed, proprietary software to create a tailored
newsletter that would be different for each recipient based on user
profiles. It is a good use of our software and will be extremely valuable
when creating topics for user guides. However, I digress.
I know basic categories of information that could go into a newsletter, like
company updates, or employee interviews, stuff like that, but I am a little
stumped on other topics that could be covered in a company newsletter. I
would be interested to hear what topics other companies put in their
newsletters.
I did searched through the archives, and all I saw were posts on layouts and
templates for newsletters. I am more interested in the information that
could be included. Any ideas?
