Communicating with groups (and that includes all kinds of groups) is what newsletters do best. It is their natural element because a well-thought out, regular newsletter can quickly become the focus for the whole group. As well as being informed and entertained, readers can be given the opportunity to interact with the rest of the group, or sections within it. Take a look at Effective Newsletters for a deeper insight.
What Sort Of Groups Might Benefit?
Just about any sort that you care to think of. Many formal groups such as associations, clubs, schools, etc have long enjoyed newsletter interaction with members, but lots of less formal groups would find this form of communication equally beneficial. The key phrase is ‘common interest’.
Some ‘Common Interests’
Residents of a particular street or neighborhood obviously have a common interest in their district. Members of an extended family (uncles, aunts, cousins) share a common interest in the family. People interested in protecting or preserving something as well as people who have a common interest in removing the same thing. The possibilities are endless.
