Unit 1h - Create a newsletter
What a success our first ever open competition was. I was really surprised by how many people entered considering how little advertising we actually did. I know that many people were impressed by the quality of mountain bikers that we have living in the locality. Tim has suggested that we continue to promote the event even after it has happened. Good publicity could result in future sponsorship for this event. Tim has suggested that we produce a newsletter to let people know more about us. If we can let people know about this event we can generate income from spectators in the future. Sarah wants to include information about her paragliding lessons, we can't miss that out, she’d never forgive me, I also think we should include some sort of competition with a prize to keep people interested. We need it to be as professional as possible, and also make sure that the information in it is relevant and correct. We can’t afford any mistakes with our first issue. |
