Unit 1h - Create a newsletter
This business of music downloading is getting really popular. Companies are popping up left, right and centre. Competition is getting hot! After a recent meeting with Richard and Aishani, we think that a newsletter would be a good idea. Only problem is we don’t have anyone with the skill to produce one that would look good and attract new customers. Richard feels that it will be important to include a comparison of our prices to rival businesses. Aishani would like to include information the most popular downloads and future releases. I think it would be fun to include a quiz, and the latest celebrity gossip to keep people interested. We have had a growth in customers over the last few months so we need to keep them up to date with news and reviews. We need it to be as professional as possible, and also make sure that the information in them is relevant and correct. We can’t afford any mistakes with our first issue. |
