How to Write a Monthly Business Blurb

Writing a monthly business blurb is a great way to keep your employees and clients informed about what is happening with the company and what they can expect in the near future. You can print these blurbs in a company newsletter, put them on the front page of a website or distribute them via email or mail to staff and clients.

Instructions

1. Start with a friendly, optimistic greeting to set the tone. You could address the time of year or the weather or simply say you're "looking forward to a great month" at the company. Keep the introduction brief and casual.

2. Update employees, shareholders, customers and clients on ongoing projects. Make note of any business projects completed in the previous month. If possible, provide some statistics and other information on the success of the projects.

3. Describe new projects or company initiatives. This gives your readers a preview of what is under way in the company.

4. Introduce new staff members or report on any employees who have left the company or have transferred to a different department or position. This will enhance the community feeling in your business, allowing staff and clients feel as if they're part of a team.

5. Close by congratulating any special employees or praising successful projects. Then thank your staff and customers for another great month. Sign off with a final friendly, optimistic statement.
