Suggestions for Effective Announcements

1. Sign your message with your name, title, phone number or contact details to request further imformation.
2. Include a clear concise subject heading.
3. Identify the distribution group in the body of the message so that readers know who has received the message.
4. Make your announcements short and to the point. Provide any additional information on a web page and reference it within the message.
5. Do not use text formatting, graphics or stationery.
6. Carefully consider the audience you wish your message to reach.
7. There is a 10kb limit to announcements. This is equivalent to around 25 screens of data on a 17 inch monitor and should be sufficient for most requirements.
