- Monthly, when you send it
The newsletter is a monthly email to the people who asked to hear from you: relatives, friends and the families of people you have cared for. 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.

Why it matters
What newsletter changes.
Families recommend providers 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 providers 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.
