Newsletter Theme Ideas
A newsletter is simply a publication with articles, photos and stories written for a specific audience.
The theme of your newsletter will depend heavily upon what you want to say and who your audience is.
There are three basic types of newsletter. A promotional newsletter sells something. A relationship newsletter communicates with members of the same group, family or club and a professional newsletter might be addressed to students or correspondents of a doctor or professor.

A family with members living in distant places might publish a "What's Happening" newsletter showcasing current family happenings or family business. Photos of children and grandchildren or vacation pictures could be printed in the newsletter and shared with the whole family.
Club members could find out what happened at the latest meeting in a newsletter. The minutes and old and new business could be discussed along with questions of upcoming business along with articles and photos of interest to club members.

Newsletters are really useful for businesses both online and offline. Popular themes might be "New" to showcase an exciting new product or a "Hot Bargains" newsletter featuring products going on sale soon.
Many merchants send e-mail newsletters to a customer list with articles and advertisements targeted to their interests and prior purchases. Offline, mail-order businesses use newsletters effectively to market correspondence courses and business opportunities.

Schools and teachers use newsletters to communicate with parents and students. Colleges often publish "Campus Life" newsletters to help students settle comfortably into campus living or to help them find useful resources.
Often grade-school teachers will publish a newsletter letting parents know what is happening in class and how their children are doing. A good example of a school newsletter might be "The Tiger Paw," named for the school sports team.
Doctors publish newsletters for their patients and for the general public. Themes such as "Health Beat" or "Eat Healthy" are regularly used. Some doctors use newsletters to promote natural medicines or herbal medicines. Other themes such as "Holistic Moms" and "Living Green" appear in newsletters promoting a natural lifestyle.
