Theresa “Tree” Kabot---Our First Paid
HTML eMail Subscription Why the Change in formant for Leasing News
and “ Day in American History?” Theresa “Tree” Kabot---Our First Paid HTML eMail Subscription From: Theresa Kabot <tkabot@lease-it.com> Subject: RE: Re:
FW: Leasing News html version Date: Wed, 19 Feb
2003 11:57:58 -0800 To: kitmenkin@leasingnews.org Hello Kit. There are many reasons why I choose to sign up straight off.
Here are just a few: First, I know the html format will be a convenient and
aesthetic way to obtain Leasing News. Next, the information that your newsletter supplies, (the
prompt consistency, the way you organize it, and often in an entertaining
manner!), is well worth $50 bones a year. Additionally, your involvement in assisting me with a dispute
resolution for one of my lessees this past year, easily earned KCL $50.
(And so far all you received is a bottle of wine. Kit, I couldn't have done it without you! thanks again!) Furthermore, I support your involvement in our business.
I believe you are good for the industry, and it should be good to you. Most of all, I like supporting my leasing buddies. ;) Keep up the good work! Tree (and she didn’t even try the 45 day free trial---now that
is a testimonial of faith. Thank you very much. Kit
Menkin and Maria Martinez-Wong.) ---- Let me add my voice to those of us in the industry who sincerely
appreciate the service that you offer. Leasing News is timely, meaningful and free. During a time
when our industry has been under duress and experiencing shrinkage,
Leasing News is a very valuable tool for staying in touch with our brethren
in the business. Most people are attending fewer seminars and conferences, many have had their
territory and/or travel schedules curtailed, etc. That makes it even
more valuable. As a 30 year veteran, I recognize the value of Leasing News
and truly appreciate the time, effort and financial investment you have
made on behalf of the industry in publishing Leasing News. Gary Millhollon PNB Capital -- Very Cool! Gin Ginny Young -- The new newsletter is great as I can click on the headlines
and then go back to the headlines with the click at the bottom. I like
that. Sometimes I don’t have the time to read all, or scan, so that feature
alone is great. I also had to look up a book, and did not have to open my
browser and go to the site, but could do it from the e-mail. I may have to move from AOL, however. Sincerely, Rob Rob Yohe (I get the edition also in AOL, and after doing it awhile,
it is fast, download and open up. Don’t move, you’ll get the swing of
it after a few days and see that it opens fast. Kit ) -- -- You did a great job on leasingnews. I don t know about anyone else but mine looks
great. I am off to the International Franchise Association Trade
show in San Antonio today. I was going to pack my chemical suit and my gas mask but
it would not fit in my carry-on luggage. Bob Rodi, CLP President LeaseNOW, Inc. 1-800-321-LEASE (5327) x101. Why the Change in formant for Leasing News and “ Day in American History?” Readers of Leasing News on the website may not know that
in the past the e-mail version had ““Day in American History” as my signature. It grew over the years into 11 to 12 pages daily. It was becoming too large to large to send in text format. The new HTML e-mail format is exactly like the website.
You can click onto stories from the headlines and also click back to the headlines,
or scroll. You don’t need to copy and paste to go to links, or sites
on the website--- just click the mouse and you are there. I would also like to add more pictures to stories and the
new html version has the platform to do this. I start putting the finishing versions on Leasing News at
11am each night. Around 1:30am, sometimes earlier, often later, I start to
put together the various stories in order, do a final proof, and format
to send. It is my intention
to continue to send the text version.
It takes me about fifteen minutes to do so, as due to the size,
I need to send in “waves” and make sure that they go out.
It really is not as easy at it sounds, as it sometimes takes
longer, especially if I run into typical internet mechanical problems. I am aware of the East Coast time from my time on the West
Coast news desk. In fact, I think East Coast time for news rather than West
Coast. It is from my days of getting film for the Roger Grimsby and then Ray
Tannerhill News. When the assignment
editor assigns the story, it is also his job to make sure it makes the air. When I started doing “Day in American History” I did not
use internet links. When I started adding jazz figures, I thought it might be
a good idea for readers to learn more about the person. This grew to other subjects as I started to use them as a “footnote,” for readers to verify
the information was correct. As I did yesterday, I would like to give great credit to
the Leasing Advisory board for their advice.
Perhaps that is the single most reason for the growth---the participation,
the ideas, the sounding board, and input. They have been wanting me
to charge for the text version, add banners, make some money to at least
pay for the out of pocket expenses. This April will be the fifth time the “Day in American History”
series has been “up-graded.” Each
yearly anniversary a new approach is taken. Black history in 1998. Sports
was added in 1999. Popular music in 2000. Early American history and
Canadian events in 2001. 2002
controversial American history. There are plans to make “Day in American History” more streamline,
but that cannot be accomplished in the text format. Kit Menkin [TOP] Subscribe to our New HTML Newsletter [TOP] |
