[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
