Newsletter Feedback?

Newsletter Feedback?

I and my sister do a quarterly family genealogy newsletter and have been for about four years for myself and my sister did it before on her own for about seven years. I am asking if there is some way to get some feedback from what has been put into the newsletter. I ask for comments, corrections, additions and etc. and get very little feedback.
Also, how to expand the newsletter to reach more people. It is done on a hard copy and sent out every three months. There is a cost, and the newsletter usually consists of approx. 25 pages per issue, which include photos sent in by other researchers, census readings, news of any sort of the family line, reunions, announcements, funeral announcements and etc.
The first page is usually something to aid or assist in research such as assorted stories written by other researchers and their problems and how they were met. The remaining newsletter is of assorted lines and informaiton.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for any input and help.

Hi Narda~

Instead of asking for feedback in a general way, could you perhaps include a little survey that asks specific questions? One newsletter editor, Karen Geiser (Sellebration), sent out a questionnaire with her initial issue to find out what kinds of things family wanted to see in future issues and what they most enjoyed in the premiere issue.

Just an idea...

Thanks for the suggestion. That will be something good to bring the feedback to me and also enhance the newsletter.
