[Ggcs-presentations] GGCS January Newsletter

Fri Jan 12 11:40:17 MST 2018

So you are going to www.ggcs.org<http://www.ggcs.org> first, then you click on the Newsletters tab, then selecting from the list and clicking on the one that you want to open.  Is that correct?

What about when you receive the email with the Newsletter announcement and you click on the Newsletter link?  Does it open or does it prompt you to save?

What browser are you using?

Thanks,

Marcelino

When I go to the link site and click on the NL DL, I get the option to either open it or save it.

I usually open it, read it and then save it to my computer.  But I've already proofed it before it comes.  I think my husband just reads it on line. (that means we're registering two hits for one family, which is really only one membership, right?)

I'm all for doing whatever it takes to get the NL out to our members and hopefully having them read it.

My question to others is this: When you open the email from Heinz, and click on the link does the NL open up automatically as a pdf?

It does for me, I don't need to download or do anything else!  If I want to keep a copy I just click the floppy icon and save it.  This seems better than having it attached to the email and then having to open the attachment.  Some email systems make you save the attachment before it can be opened.

Let me know how this works for the rest of you. i.e. when you click the link what happens on your system and what email program are you using.

Thanks,
Marcelino

I'd love for the NL to be an attachment to member emails...
We all put so much time/effort into making it exist that it would be pitiful if only 5-10 people outside of us are actually reading it.
best,
chris

That's really concerning, if people aren't going to link and getting the NL.

Do we have any way of telling how many people got to the web site and then to the NL there to view or DL it?

Perhaps we should ask people at the next few GM's whether and how they get the NL and try to see what's going on.  I realize that people may not have been reading the hard copy NL, but I know I have a tendency put off going to a link for a document and might never get around to it, whereas if it's an attachment, I get it right away.

Meanwhile, at Steering could we discuss possibility of Emailing the NL as an attachment so people actually get it without having to go to link and DL it?  When we mailed hard copy NL we at least knew it got there.

We advertise 4th Monday everywhere, including the website (as soon as I get it set up). My ratio of clicks per mailing of the newsletter link are extremely low. In addition, I will correct the text in the published newsletter.
