HOW OFTEN TO
PUBLISH
There are a lot of factors to consider when deciding upon a
publication schedule. The main one is how fast can you produce a
newsletter.
Work backwards, You want a subscriber to receive the newsletter
on a certain date. It needs to be in the mail a few days before
that. And before that, it will take the printer how many days to
deliver the printed materials? How long will it take a typist to
finish the copy, and for you to decide on the final layout?
How long will it take you to research and write material for your
newsletter? This may be a deciding factor in the size of the
publication. Perhaps you'd prefer to get a four page newsletter
out every other week rather than an eight page newsletter out
every month.
If your topic is filled with today's news, then you'll want to
get that out to your subscribers as fast as possible. Other
subjects can be done monthly, bimonthly, or even quarterly.. Be
careful with infrequent mailings, however, because the
subscribers may just forget about it. And what use is a small
newsletter only a few times a year?
