[NEohioPAL] some thoughts about posting messages

This is a re-print of a message I sent out about two years  ago.  These bear 
repeating ...

Hi Everybody,

We all want NEohioPAL to be as  effective as possible.   Ironically, the more 
postings that go  out, the more likely you all will delete the majority of 
them 
without  reading them.

So, here are a few guidelines (not rules, just guidelines)  to improve 
everyone's experience.

1)  When posting, less is  more.  Instead of sending out  the same message 
every other day,  limit it to once a week. 

2) Your subject line is the most important part  of the  message.  
Subscribers 
will decide whether to open your  message and read it  based on how 
personally 
relevent it is.  Even  if they don't open your  message the subject line is a 
summary of your  message and they will read that,  so make the most of it.    
Make sure you include the producing  organization and event, and any  other 
important information.  IE - "BOGO  for Sunday's performance  of The Iceman 
Cometh 
at North Coast Rep"

3) Use a prefix in the  subject line to let people know what it is about,  
AUDITION:,  OPENING:, SALE:, FREE:, WORKSHOP:, POSITION NEEDED:,  PROP 
NEEDED:,  
ACTOR NEEDED:, GUITARIST NEEDED, etc.


That's it.  Thanks!

Fred
