Speaker

Rob Weinberg and Frank

Pete McGuire introduced our speaker for the morning, Rob Weinberg, who has a 23-year history of creating unique solutions and profitable results for a wide range of clientele.  Rob's topic was Creating Your Own Email Newsletter.  He pointed out how an electronic newsletter is much less expensive, easier to produce and takes much less time than traditional paper-based ways of contacting and keeping in touch with clients and potential clients.  He recommended an email newsletter be sent on the same date each month so that its readers expect it, suggested sources of information for articles, and gave an impressive case history of the success of an email newsletter for Campus Fundraisers Inc.
