October at Fernbank Lodge: the garden, a 100th birthday and a new face in the kitchen

The sensory garden opened on the 18th with afternoon tea for forty relatives. Margaret turned 100 on the Tuesday and the mayor brought a card.

The newsletter is a monthly email to the people who asked to hear from your home: relatives, friends, former residents' families. bamboo turns your notes into an issue, sends it and keeps the subscriber list, including the people who leave it.

It is not a marketing blast to prospects. Only people who asked to receive it are on the list, and anyone can leave with one click.

What it does

Newsletter, step by step.

  1. 01

    A few lines is enough

    The garden party, the new activities coordinator, the birthday with the cake. Write it as you would tell a relative at the door and bamboo drafts the issue around it.

    • Notes in, an issue out
    • Your home's name and details filled in
    • Leave the month blank and it uses the current one

Why it matters

What newsletter changes.

Families recommend homes they feel part of

A relative who hears about the month is a relative who tells the next family about yours.

It costs ten minutes

The reason most homes do not send a newsletter is the hours it takes. This takes the time it takes to write the notes.

Done properly

Consent, an unsubscribe link, a kept record of who got what. The way email to the public is supposed to be done.

Questions

The ones that get asked.

Who can I send it to?

People who asked to receive it: relatives, friends, families of former residents. It is not for cold prospects.

Can I add a photo?

Yes. Issues can carry your own images.

What if someone unsubscribes?

They are removed automatically and never emailed again from bamboo.
