Does anyone use a newsletter template that they can recommend ?

BTW I don't mean the Joe Polish/Alltec variety - just want something fairly simple to keep in touch with existing database.

I used to set up a word document and put maybe 6 boxes on an A4 then write rhetoric or copy bits from women's magazines (I say I, I really mean the wife did it) but they just took up too much time they did do quite well but you do have to look at hassle v outcome, postcards are far easier you have no hassles remembering to get them out the return is not quite the same and customers don't keep them as long but realistically you want an instant response.

Cheers Shaun

I currently send out a reminder letter - just fancied doing something a bit different that wasn't so obviously a sales letter, they are existing clients after all.

Hows the new TM ?

Don’t do newsletters but do cards (well wife) on birthdays, anniversaries (care on that one ;)) and Christmas. Response ant been that bad  :o

I found that newsletters took up too much time for nearly the same response.
