Holiday Newsletter – Saint John Regional Hospital
News on How You’re Creating a Healthier Future in New Brunswick and Beyond
I love writing donor impact newsletters! It’s so much fun to say thank you and to show donors how remarkable they are.
I especially love writing headlines for the various newsletter stories. I get to be punny. And I get to lavish donors with love.
We know this sort of donor communication sparks joy.
What you may not know is a newsletter, done right, can also raise a lot of money.
Have a look at the entire newsletter pack below.

Outer Envelope - Holiday Newsletter
Your Special Holiday Newsletter is Enclosed
This simple teaser statement is proven to entice donors to open your mail.
And when you apply the tips you’ll find below to your newsletter writing, donors will be even more eager to rip that envelope and dive in.
Cover Letter - Holiday Newsletter
Everyone here at the Foundation sends heartfelt Holiday wishes to you, your family, and your friends.
May your days be healthy and bright. And may our warmth and gratitude delight.
This was a totally re-vamped newsletter. We made it more donor-focused by using the word YOU a lot and by highlighting how our donor’s kindness has made the community better.
And, because we were trying something new, we invited donors to share their feedback.
I’m pleased to report that donors were thrilled with the stories.
(The best Christmas gift a copywriter could ever ask for!)
