In our campaign to  "GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT SINGLEDIVERS.COM" several of you have suggested that we do an email news blast or newsletter.

 

So now we need the following:

 

1. Do you like the idea?

2. If so how often should it go out? (Once a month? One regular blast and one specials blast?)

3. What should it contain?  Trip reports? Hot topics in the forums? New trips open?  Cool SD info/tricks/tips?  Diving hints?

4. How do we get the content

5. Is a simple email format with text and pics ok or do we need some fancy program?

6. Is anyone or a small group of volunteers willing to help create or pull the content together for us? (We have a way to get it sent out.)

 

 

:thankyou: for your input and ideas and help!

I like the idea. My initial thought process would be to do a quarterly newsletter. Monthly would probably be too often, as it would be difficult to come up with content. Very few trip reports are posted on the forum now, and that would be a good starting point. There are a number of us that do not access the facebook options for the site. Maybe pulling some things of interest from there. Ed

Personally I prefer an email unless the newsletter is easy to read and doesn't take too much effort to read or make. People stop reading emails if they get too many so 8 a year seems reasonable. I like John's idea of providing info not just always advertising trips - but done right an email about future trips can also be informative - giving dive vacation ideas and pricing. To provide info someone needs to be willing to write it unless DAN will let us send out some of their articles which are great (or another dive research group).
