Newsletters

[malk103]

Does anyone use newsletters in their clubs? We have 3 instructors and 7 lessons in a week at different locations so have lots of students spread out - only fools like myself train at 5+ of them....

I visited a Dojo a while back that had a newsletter for it's students, parents of students and any visitors so thought it might be a good idea or a useful tool to keep people updated.

We keep mentioning the website but they don't seem to check it regularly.

We have plenty of ideas of weekend training, trips away, competitions etc but I mainly thought it could be an ideal medium to put questionaires on the back and provide a means for people to write down their thoughts rather than try to speak to and explain to an instructor.

we use news letter, the web site and emails. The new age really made it much easier to get info out...but I notice that people pay less attention to the whole thing and you now NEED to hit them with ten different ways to know something and they still may not see it.
