Newsletter FAQs

If you have a question that isn't answered here, please email us!

Q. Why do you only have two publication periods?

A. Over the last 10 years we've found that most contractors prefer to publish newsletters twice per year, with postcard, greeting card, and calendar mailings in between.

Q. How can I customize the newsletter?

A. You can make the newsletter more personal for your company in any of the following ways: submit a short note or editorial, profile an employee, share company news, highlight your company's involvement in some community event or charity, invite customers to an open house or other event, or feature a new product or service.

Q. What areas on the newsletter can be customized?

A. You can change any article on the front or back pages of the newsletter, including the name of the newsletter.

Q. What happens if I want to replace an article?

A. If you want to change an article, you'll need to email us your copy in electronic format (e.g., a Word file). We'll let you know how many words you'll need to replace a particular article.

Q. What if I want to include a photograph?

A. You are welcome to submit photographs, but they must have a resolution of 300 dpi. Any photograph should be emailed as a .tif or .jpeg file, and you should include a caption written in the email note.

Q. If you do the mailing for us, what format should customer data be in?

A. We prefer data to be in an Excel spreadsheet, but you can also email it to us in text format or as an Access database.
