How the Zine Newsletter Program Makes Producing a Stunning and Effective Newsletter Do-Able, Affordable, and Consistent
The Zine Newsletter Program was developed to help attorneys implement proven direct response marketing strategies while avoiding the common pitfalls and speed bumps that often derails their efforts.
Six Issues Instead of Twelve
We plan for SIX issues of a 4-page newsletter. We’ve found that six issues a year (every other month) is just as effective as 12 issues a year, and less prone to burn-out and scheduling challengess. Plus, it essentially cuts your costs in half.
Postcard Newsletter
Are you having a month of fires? Family needs? Or cases and clients are overflowing and you need to create capacity? A Postcard Newsletter keeps the rhythm of your nurture marketing without your involvement. It’s a postcard that acts like a newsletter. The Zine Marketing Team creates the postcard using repurposed content and your best offer and call-to-actin. It is a perfect as stand-in for any issue or to compliment your newsletter on off-months.
Premiere Issue
Your first issue is a special evergreen edition with strategic content. It can be used in place of a practice brochure, as part of your Shock & Awe package, welcome kit, or a give-away at events and speaking engagements.
Content Guidelines and Topic Ideas
If you're not sure what kind of content to create or how much, a detailed Content Guideline provides over 20 different topic ideas, word counts, and a visual template.
Planning Calendar & Calendar Reminders
You get a clear timeline for every issue with a 12 month planning calendar to help you set aside time for ideas and writing. We also give you a calendar file you can upload to your iCal, Google Calendar, or Outlook to send you reminders and let others know not to busy-up your schedule on the days your are scheduled to think and write.
The Repoz
You have access to the Zine Article Repository (the Repoz) where you can choose quality content and articles to include in your newsletters. These will be relevant and interesting written in the fun, engaging style that we love so much. Select from a treasure trove of articles, images, recipes, puzzles from our article repository that you can add as-is, or customize to fit your style and message.
