Headhunters e-Newsletter

Headhunters will begin publishing an e-Newsletter in the next month. Between Headhunters, Falls Outfitters and Get the Drift Outfitters, we've been publishing newsletters for several years. They are very popular, and we are constantly getting requests to publish more often. Unfortunately, "hard" newsletters are costly to produce and mail, and take a lot of time to put together (almost impossible during the season). We've been knocking around the idea of an "e-Newsletter" for a few months, and have decided to do it. We hope to produce this 6-10 times a year, as opposed to our two traditional newsletters.

This new format will keep you up to date with what's going on in Craig and on the Missouri. We'll be able to include more information, instead of editing out what won't fit. It will also have links to other news or articles that we feel are relevant. We will also use it to announce any specials, events, or sales we may be having...something we never would have done with our traditional newsletter.

There will be a few hurdles to overcome, and we'll need a little help from our customers. While we keep very accurate address lists, we haven't done such a good job with emails (not everyone uses email for correspondence). Some of you have multiple email boxes, and don't check all of them. Some email services will place it in your Junk box, especially if you haven't signed up for it (so look there). You will notice several places on our site where you can sign up (see sidebar) for the new e-Newsletter with a couple of mouse clicks.

We're going to fire an initial e-newsletter out to a few of you that we have solid emails for and have had recent email contact with. Even if you receive this first e-Newsletter, we would like you to sign up through our website. It goes without saying (but we will) that we will never share any of your personal information or email addresses with anyone. We don't buy mailing lists and we don't sell them. Please let us know if there are any problems in appearance or with opening it.

For those that still like those old-school newsletters, we will probably continue to send at least one a year.
