Whether you use a printed newsletter or email (ezine).......the key is to do it consistently. When clients are hearing from you on a regular/consistent basis it really builds trust and shows them you are in it for the long haul. My preference is a printed monthly newsletter as not all emails get opened, and atleast with mail your information will get touched one way or another..........and hopefully if you have a relationship with your client list your newsletter gets into the A pile and is something they anticipate receiving each month. My clients tell me that not only do they love receiving the newsletter but they share it with friends and family members when their done reading it. I have one client that sends it to her sister in Pittsburg who is a teacher and takes it into her 8th grade class and reads some of the factoids and tidbits of trivia. Another client who works with seniors enjoys bringing my newsletter to work and reading it to 15-20 seniors for entertainment. Now tell me that I would get that kind of response with an emailed newsletter. But as I mentioned whether its email or print..........the key is to just do it and more so do it at the very least monthly..........&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Justin Stranere</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 05 Feb 2010 10:17:45 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: About GKIC-Philly</title><link>http://philadelphiamastermind.com/?page_id=2#comment-32048323</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Make sure and checkout the post and free download Mike gives us with the USP post.&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JStranere</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:37:14 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Why Newsletters Are So Darn Effective &amp;#8211; Part I</title><link>http://philadelphiamastermind.com/?p=102#comment-32048336</link><description>&lt;p&gt;I will second, third and fourth this post. As I have told Jim Palmer, Mike Capuzzi and many other GKIC members....starting my monthly newsletter back in Oct 2007 was the single best business decision I ever made.....my only gripe is I wish I did it 10 years sooner. There is no better way to stay in touch with your clients on a consistent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Great post and nugget of wisdom here Josh....&lt;/p&gt;</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">JStranere</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Jan 2010 10:35:53 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Welcome to Philadelphia Master Mind!</title><link>http://philadelphiamastermind.com/?p=77#comment-32048327</link><description>&lt;p&gt;Hey Everyone,&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mike Capuzzi just sent us an update telling more about the presentation next Wed 1/20/2010&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;comments from Mike:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Chapter member, Charlie McDermott is going to &lt;br&gt;show you innovative new ways to leverage the &lt;br&gt;Internet in your business when he presents:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to Build a Massive List &amp;amp; Profit From Your&lt;br&gt;Own Internet TV Show.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you're looking for the edge, creating your &lt;br&gt;very own Internet TV show is a must!
