On my personal Facebook account I had read a post from a person I follow that listens to the local police scanner frequencies. I told my husband that an ambulance would be driving past in a couple of minutes. And I got "that look". Well, "that look" turned into disbelief (and finally acceptance) when the lights and rolling of the siren flooded our house and drove on past to the town to the south of us.
Within seconds of a post that someone was in need of medical attention I was able to predict that the ambulance would drive by and approximately when. Hmmm...just think what social media could do for you...

Why You Need a Newletter (Even Though You Think You Don't)!
Now why on earth would your business need a newsletter? Well, that's an easy question. Any company can benefit from a newsletter. Connecting with customers, offering up deals and incentives to bring more clients to your business, connecting with your own employees. All are great reasons to put out a regular newsletter.
One company uses duel newsletters-the first for their employees to educate them about new products, new proceedures, and to pass along information within the company. The second is to showcase new products and highlight employees or management to "put a face" on the company. This connects you and your company personally to each individual that reads your newsletter.
I have recently begun producing a newsletter for a local grocery store. It includes tips for healthier cooking, how-to's, and quick cooking hints. I throw in a recipe that combines with products featured on the weekly sales flyer, thus creating another reason to bring people in the door. Splash on links to the sales flyer, the Facebook account, and the store website and send it through an email list.
There are a variety of formats and choices of information you can choose to fit your business type and your industry style. By handing over a newsletter taylor-made for your audience, you can increase visibility both internally and externally and this can only help your reputation and image.

New News
Two rejections this week. That's okay. It teaches and builds character. Hubby's designing my new website and I hope it will be up and functional by the end of the week.
The garden is growing well except for the beans which were effectively taken out by local rabbits.
New kittens are on the way...how many will come? We'll find out soon!

Let the gardening begin! Most of my plants have started coming in, with the exception of my potatoes, but those tend to be one of the last to arrive as is.
Happy Father's Day to all fathers out there!
