Tricks of the trade - sharpening a newsletter

Tricks of the trade

Sharpening a newsletter

We recently helped sharpen up a government newsletter so that it could be better used by a target audience with varying levels of education and varying needs. Here's what we did.

1) Cut the fog: We reduced the length of the stories and edited them to be simpler and more direct.

2) Tightened the focus: We looked for stories that had a practical, use-it-today quality. In particular, we added "Top 10" style features with easily digestible bullet points

3) More white space, more graphics: Minor layout improvements like these really lighten the visual "weight" of a newsletter, making it more tempting to the reader.
