Developing Effective Legacy Communications
Date & Time: 28th May 2008, 10:00am - 4:30pm
Venue: In Tuition House, Borough High Street, London SE1

This new course will focus on and debate:
  Legacy brochures – are they worth producing? If not why not and if so what information should be included and excluded
  Newsletters and legacy newsletters – what makes people read them or not read them? Which messages are best?
  Direct mail for legacies – what is a good legacy mail shot?
  Legacy websites – what should be included?
  Advertising – is it worth it?
We will then debate:
  The objectives of each method of communication and the objectives for communicating with supporters.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU BRING YOUR OWN LEGACY BROCHURES AND LEGACY DIRECT MAIL EXAMPLES and legacy articles from newsletters
