News2Blog

Edgeworks is currently developing an innovative service  (News2blog) that will enable companies to leverage the power of their traditional paper based newsletters online. Many of our existing clients invest significant sums in designing, writing, printing and posting company newsletters to clients, suppliers and other interested stakeholders. However, many of them then fail to extend the potential reach of all this effort by reproducing the content online and making it readily available to a much wider audience.

News2blog will enable clients to seamlessly maximise the potential reach of  newsletter's by harnessing the capabilities of the latest blog technologies.In essence, News2blog takes the traditional newsletter and converts it into a blog providing the following features:

1. Blog technology is naturally search engine friendly and therefore all the information can be readily indexed by Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.
2. Visitors will always be able to access the very latest information as well as search through an online archive of previous entries.
3. Clients can have total control over editorial content and production timelines (No more print deadlines) Unlike the printed version, if you change your mind we can simply edit the content in real time.
4. The technology is totally scalable and flexible. No worries over pagination.
5. By using latest Google Analytics tracking technology clients can monitor visitors to the site.
6. News2blog provides visitors with the latest RSS subscription feeds as well as more traditional email subscription.
6. News2blog will also features an online dashboard to enable clients to monitor subscriber's to both email and RSS feeds.
7. News2blog will guarantee that client newsblogs will be submitted and indexed by all the key blog engines and directories.

Some of the additional benefits of News2blog include:

News2blog can assist in reducing these costs, extending the potential reach of your newsletter and delivering a significant return on investment.
