I would love to have your feedback regarding the Stamp Shack newsletter so if you could take the time to answer the following questions, it would be much appreciated.

1. Yes, I read the newsletter every month and often refer back to it several times.

2. I think that it's a benefit.

3. I prefer to receive the newsletter in an email. It's much easier for me to print and read at my leisure.

4. I can't think of anything specific. Hey - it's Monday :)

5. I'd like to see a section highlighting a stamp manufacturer, some favorite LSS's or online stores each month. I'd be happy to take on this task :) I think this could broaden the Shack's exposure. I like Sarah's font idea too.

6. Nope

5. NO WAY!

So is this why I haven't gotten it in my inbox? I am such a dullard sometimes. I knew it was time for the newsletter and thought I had accidentally delted it, but knew that I wouldn't have!
Otherwise, the concensus seems to be we all like the newsletter. Kimmy's ideas of showcasing new companies and Sarah's of fonts are both great ideas. Although, seriously like we need further enabling! :)

1. Do you read the newsletter that is released every month?
Yes!
2. Do you think the newsletter is a benefit to The Stamp Shack website or do you consider it a waste of time?
Heck no!
3. Do you like the new electronic format or would you prefer to see the old PDF/Email format back in place?
I have to admit I do like it in PDF format, as then I can read everything at one time instead of click, click, click. It's not so much being lazy or anything, but I get distracted from this and that so much I would lose my place otherwise.
4. Is there something we can improve on to make the newsletter better?
I like the idea of new stores that was mentioned. I already have quite a few fonts so that's not my priority (although I do like to collect them! and alphas). Otherwise, I like the newsletter as it is!
5. Is there a section/topic that you would like to see added to the newsletter?
I love the tuts and can't really think of anything else to add to it.
6. Is there a section/topic that you would like to see removed from the newsletter?
Nope!
5. Would you prefer that there was no newsletter at all?
What?????????????????????????

4. Is there something we can improve on to make the newsletter better? I think its great

1. Do you read the newsletter that is released every month? Yes!

2. Do you think the newsletter is a benefit to The Stamp Shack website or do you consider it a waste of time?It is a really nice feature for the stamp shack members to share with one another.

3. Do you like the new electronic format or would you prefer to see the old PDF/Email format back in place?I prefer the PDF format and found it much easier to read as a Newsletter than the electronic format. The PDF makes it nice to be able to print it and read it through as an actual newsletter as well as keep them in a notebook for future references at a quick glance without having to go online.

4. Is there something we can improve on to make the newsletter better?JMO, but I didn't find the electronic version an improvement so I would have to say going back to the PDF would be an improvement.

5. Is there a section/topic that you would like to see added to the newsletter? Can't think of anything.

6. Is there a section/topic that you would like to see removed from the newsletter?The games aren't especially of interest to me, but if they appeal to most people then I'd not remove them. I can skip those.

5. Would you prefer that there was no newsletter at all?The newsletter is a unique feature of the stamp shack message board. I see no reason to delete it.
