Getting The Word Out
March 15th, 2008
One of our customers at www.MadeinUSAForever.com did something very cool recently to help get the word out on supporting American manufacturing – He wrote a letter to the editor of his local paper expressing his views. This really does make a big difference in getting the word out and folks to discuss the issue. The more we can get them thinking about, the more we can make change for the better happen.
I actually know several people in the newspaper business and it is a lot easier than people realize to get letters printed. For the most part, editors are actually happy to hear from their readers, and printing these letters helps them to show their involvement with the community.
Their advice is to keep the letter short, about three or four brief paragraphs. Get to the point right away. Make a couple supporting comments and conclude the letter. Quick and easy to both write and read.
It is easy to find the address of your newspaper online. Just address it to the editor. Don’t worry if they want to edit for size or fix typos, as it is the main point that matters.
Why not take 20 minutes to help American manufacturing recover?
