Newsletter or eMagazine?

[Dan]

Hi everyone,

One of our members of staff, Vigge_sWe, has brought up an interesting idea of having an eMagazine once every 2 weeks instead of a newsletter. This magazine would contain everything the newsletters have, but we would also be able to have full length tutorials, proper articles and even accept articles from our users.


A good example of this is here.


So what do you think, post any questions or comments below.


Also, anyone that has a tutorial or would be interested in writing a tutorial for the newsletter - please PM or email me.

I think that would be a good idea. I'd help you out with designing and putting it together if you want.

An eMagazine sounds cool! Just have to make sure it's going to work as the example above is broken :P

The example above works fine for me o_o

emagazine, but once every month, not twice!

The problem with this is that you can't click links...
I sorta hate the idea of an eMagazine.

You can click links, if you can't in the example, then it is the way they put it together...

You can click links in an eMagazine.

I'll find an example, just a min.

I don't mind what format we have e.g newsletter, emagazine, etc.

The idea of tutorials, snippets, tricks and tips is excellent.

Yes most of the information will be available elsewhere but it creates new interest in the comms channel.

To keep things fresh and interesting there is a need to reinvent yourself, comms channels are no different.

Over a period we will get tired of anything, change is important, need to continually reinvigorate the comms over a period by changing content.

Well, the reason we thought of perhaps having an eMagazine instead was so we could fit a lot more tutorials, snippets, tricks and tips into it :D
In the newsletter as we have it at the moment, there really isn't much room for much more than a paragraph per article.
