✍️ Survey Results
Thanks to everyone who shared their feedback in the survey. Here’s my quick takeaways from the 72 responses.
Everyone loves the email format. No need to reinvent the wheel, I’ll stick to the original format but may try some minor tweaks here and there.
A few nearby events could be added. I’ll keep an eye out for interesting events happening in the East Kootenays and include them in future emails.
A website with a calendar would be nice. This has been on my mind, but with limited time, I want to focus on making the newsletter the best it can be, before spending time on a full website.
Many of you are open to supporting this newsletter financially. That’s amazing! I’m glad I can provide something valuable to the community.
