If you’re still struggling to come up with ideas for your newsletter I’ve thought of some more that I would like to share with you. You really don’t have to use these
exactly, but maybe these will help you brainstorm even more ideas. The more fun and informative sections that you include in your newsletter, the better, as the members of your organization will actually read it, enjoy it, and learn something from it.
One idea for a section of your newsletter could be about a specific member of your company or organization. You could include a picture, short biography, favorite quotes, and other information that the person would like to share. This will help other members get to know them , and the person with the profile will enjoy being recognized publicly. This may increase camaraderie in your organization and especially help those that are shy or those haven’t warmed up to the others yet.
You could also include in your newsletter some sort of weekly letter from the CEO, boss, newsletter publisher, or other high-ranking member of your organization. This will make them person seem less disconnected from the rest of the organization and give the members a chance to learn about them. The person writing the letter should write a personal story about themselves and the organization for best effect.
You could also do questions and answers or “frequently asked questions” section which can help new members with common questions that they might have about your organization that they are afraid to ask. The questions and answers in your newsletter will also benefit older members by rehashing and emphasizing what they already should know. You could also include helpful tips and tricks that are useful information and that everyone may not know.
A fun idea for your newsletter would be to include a puzzle or game section like a crossword or some other type of puzzle which will help readership of your newsletter by making it fun. The members of your company or organization will look forward to your newsletter. Another idea is to list organizations that are similar to yours in your newsletter that your members might be interested in working for or volunteering for. This will help your organization stay connected in your niche.
Finally include a section with photos of your organization in action and having fun which will everybody will enjoy seeing and remembering how much fun they have had. These ideas aren’t mandatory for your newsletter, but they are something to think about.
