 So you have questions about newsletter printing? Well let me give you all the important answers that you need. Below is a list of the top seven questions that people ask when they start to print newsletters. Hopefully these answers should be enough to satisfy your need and convince you to start developing your own color newsletters. So let me start with what everyone really asks today, how much it should cost?

1. How much would I need to print newsletters? - Printing newsletters is pretty cheap. Depending on the printing company, you can print 250 pieces of newsletters from $200 to $600 with variable quality. Take note that you can also print some basic newsletters from your own home with your printer if you want only a few pieces of newsletters and not hundreds of them. Home printing can be as cheap as $1-$2 per print depending on your paper and ink. So anyone can really afford newsletter printing.

2. Where is the best place to print newsletters? The best place to print your custom newsletters would be at a professional newsletter printing company, preferably online. Online newsletter printing is the fastest and most convenient way to print your own custom newsletters. Since you can order your prints virtually at any time of the day and have them delivered at set times to you, there will be no real bother in trying to print those newsletters. So go for online newsletter printing, it is really the best.

3. What is the best tool for newsletter design? The best tool for newsletter design really depends on your skill level. For beginners, the best software would be a word processor such as Microsoft word. It has the basic functionality that most people should understand, and it already has a few special features which can help you create a newsletter-like layout.

For more skilled people though, I would recommend more professional desktop publishing tools such as Microsoft Publisher and Adobe Indesign. These things have actual templates and built in functionalities that makes creating newsletters layouts a cinch. They will be costly but at least youll be using the best in creating your newsletters and other prints.

4. How large should my newsletters be? The size of a newsletter really depends on your specific purpose and resources. For basic newsletter printing, a simple 8.5 by 11 inch custom newsletter should do. If you really want to impress people a 17×11 or a 18×12 inch color newsletter should have enough impact for whatever purpose you might have.

5. How much content should I put in? It really depends on you how much content you put in. But a general rule is to not leave white spaces. So be careful and balance out your newsletter pages. I would suggest writing all your main content first and then laying them out on a newsletter template. Afterwards, you should have a good idea if you need to generate more to prevent white spaces or if you want to cut down to save on pages.

6. Should I print in color or not? Definitely print your newsletters in full color. While standard black inks are cheap and practical, they never have any impact in todays market. It is full color newsletter printing all the way for everyone since that is the standard and you should follow that standard too.

7. How fast can I print newsletters? Pretty fast! There are some printing companies that will produce your newsletter prints overnight. However, the common turnaround times would be 2-7 days depending on how much you want to pay.

Great! Hopefully all these answers have now given you a better picture of newsletter printing. You can now create your own color newsletters with some confidence. Good Luck!

Google Buys ITA Software To Shake Up Online Booking

By Timmy Vic

 Search engine giant Google took the travel industry by storm last week with a $700 million purchase of ITA Software, a flight-information software company.

The multi-million-dollar deal would not only put Google in direct competition with Web sites such as Kayak and Cheapflights.com, but it potentially could transform the online travel industry.

For several months, the rumor mill had been churning with news of Google’s interest in ITA, causing the travel industry’s key players to scramble to position themselves.

Several travel Web sites, including Kayak.com, threw in competing bids to buy the Boston-based ITA, but were outbid by Google.

Google’s purchase would give the company control of ITA’s ubiquitous flight pricing software, making Google a force to be reckoned with in the travel world.

ITA offers flight times, availabilities and prices to airlines and Web sites that include: TripAdvisor, Bing, Hotwire, Orbitz, Continental, American Airlines, and Alitalia.

Google says that their purchase of ITA will make it easier for consumers to find flight information online and give consumers more choices.

According to Google’s boss, Eric Schmidt, Google’s goal is to use ITA’s information to foster innovation in the travel industry rather than to sell tickets. Schmidt says that Google is also creating flight tools unlike any in existence that will change the way online travel works.

The purchase, however, would turn Google into a fierce competitor in the travel meta-search industry and could drive a stake through traditional, non-Internet flight booking outlets.

US regulatory authorities are also likely to keep a close eye on Google’s new deal to ensure that it is fair to competitors and consumers.

Though Google says it wants to preserve competition in the travel industry and has no plans to lock out competitors, only time will tell what this acquisition really means for online flight bookings.

Off The Brochure: Tel Aviv, Israel

By Timmy Vic

 Tel Aviv proper technically may be Israel’s second most populous city behind Jerusalem, but its metro area dwarfs that ancient city, and includes a large swath of Israel.

It’s a lively, modern, and increasingly cosmopolitan destination that, if it’s not on your travel list, should be.

Named after the utopian town envisioned by Zionist author Theodore Herzl in his turn of the century novel Altneuland The Old-New Land, Tel Aviv certainly lives up to its lofty moniker. Founded in 1909 by the Jewish population of nearby Jaffa, Tel Aviv immediately became an immigration hotspot among both bourgeois Eastern European Jews and artists from all backgrounds.

Located on the scenic Mediterranean coastline, the Tel Aviv of today is still a hub of economic and creative activity in the Middle East: Browse the trendy shops lining several of its major streets or don your bathing suit and bronze on its beaches; spend some time visiting museums and historical sites or sip coffee in small cafes still populated by literary types. Come nightfall, Tel Aviv kicks up the energy a notch, with fine dining, music lounges, and nightclubs that rival those found in London, New York, and Paris.

MUSEUMS Muze’onim

Tel Aviv boasts several museums, including the sprawling Eretz Yisrael Museum, which sits atop an archaeological site that is still being excavated. While more on the brochure than off, and at times a bit crowded, this museum has something of interest for nearly everyone. Of its eight pavilions, the Glass Pavilion boasts one of the finest and most eye-catching collections of glassware in the world. Also worth stopping into is the Nehustan Pavilion, which, through its cave-like entryway, transports you into the ancient copper mines or so it feels like of Timna, otherwise known as King Solomon’s Mines.

Just across from the Nehustan Pavilion is the Kadman Numismatic Pavilion, in which a collection of coins spans the length of the region’s history. Finally, before you leave, be sure to check out the Man and his Work Center exhibition, where you can see the traditional tools used in agriculture, crafts, and household chores and walk through a reconstructed bazaar. The museum is located in Ramat Aviv, the northern most part of Tel Aviv. 972-3-641-5244, www.eretzmuseum.org.il

For a more off the-brochure museum experience, visit the David Ben Gurion House, once the private home of Israel’s first prime minister. Indulge your inner voyeur and peruse the books, pictures, and other personal items of Ben Gurion for a more intimate window into Israeli history. Read letters from Ben Gurion to John F. Kennedy, Winston Churchill, and Charles de Gaulle, and then head next door to the Hillel Cohen Lecture Hall to glimpse the late prime minister’s passports and salary slips. The on site library has nearly 20,000 books in various languages; for those particularly interested in history and politics, seminars and lectures are conducted here as well. And as if that weren’t incentive enough, admission is free. 17 Ben-Guiron Ave.; 972-3-522-10-10

SHOPPING Kniyut

The shopping in Tel Aviv is among the best in the world, featuring everything from large American inspired malls, to street shopping and local flea markets where you can find great bargain buys. Generally speaking, the more ritzy shops can be found along Dizengoff Street and Sderot Nordau, while trendy and only slightly less pricey boutiques and jewelry stores line Sheinken Street.For a more down and dirty shopping experience, head to the Shuk Ha Carmel, located at the intersection of Allenby Road and King George Street. Street vendors line the road here, peddling inexpensive clothing, sandals, and other similar wares to passersby. Farther down Allenby Road, you can pick up fresh fruits and vegetables at rock bottom prices from the many small street stands. Located very close by parallel to Allenby and one block closer to the sea is Nahalat Binyamin, where a local street fair boasting jewelry, paintings, pottery, and more is held each Tuesday and Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Similarly cheap shopping can be found nearby at Jaffa’s flea market, Shuk Ha Pishpeshim, which sits between Olei Tzion and Beit Eshel Streets. Merchants here offer Persian carpets, leather and brass goods, nargilah water pipes, hand-dyed clothing, figurines, and the like from the several rows of roofed stalls. The market is busiest on Fridays and is closed on Sundays, so head there earlier in the week to put your haggling skills to the test.Finally, shopping and the arts converge in Tel Aviv’s several specialty bookstores, where unique and even rare titles can be found on many different subjects and in numerous languages. One such bookstore is Bookworm, located in Basel Square, which offers an English language selection that that covers architecture, design, psychotherapy, and more. 30 Basel Street, 972 3 546 2714.

Or, stop in Praza Modan on Dizengoff Street, a bookstore caf that specializes in theater and the arts, but also has many titles on travel and cooking, as well as a sizable selection of children’s books, available in both Hebrew and English. 163 Dizengoff Street.

 Have you really taken a look at your newsletters lately? Sometimes people can get blind by how they manage their own color newsletter printing. They can sometimes overlook the fact that at certain times, their color newsletter printing is becoming ineffective, outdated and downright ugly to readers. So take a good look at your color newsletters and see if they need a tune up in their designs.

If you think your own newsletters do need a little help in the beauty department, then you are in luck because this guide will teach you how to remedy that. Below is a list of special tips that should make your old and ugly newsletters become more current and beautiful for readers. So let us get started right away with the first tip and that is managing the layout.

Cleaning out the layout configuration While creative layouts are good and innovative, it sometimes can have the wrong impression on readers and cause them to think it is ugly or downright amateurish. That is why it is important to try to clean out the layout of your newsletters whenever you can. I find it best to use newsletter templates that teach me the major sections where I should put articles, images and other important newsletter elements. These templates provide the best professional advice for newsletter printing layouts, so use them as a simple tool to beautify your newsletters.

Developing appealing color themes The ugliness of a typical newsletter can also be traced by bad color themes. Sometimes the color themes might just be outdated, while other times, it is just a product of really bad taste. So to help you develop great color themes for your newsletter printing, I recommend that you search online for sites that suggest color themes.

There are tons of sites on the Internet that have online algorithms that help you match certain color themes for your designs. You should typically pick one to three colors as the main color theme for your prints. Anything more than that and you are risking the beauty of your color newsletters again. So use those tools and discover how simple yet beautiful your color newsletters can be.

Making all your text more coherent Another source of ugliness sometimes in newsletter designs is the text styles. Typical newcomers to newsletter printing will use different fonts for different areas of the newsletter. This may sound great, but the truth is, it will make the newsletters ugly. They will look like a patchwork of different materials put together. So to make your newsletters more beautiful, it is good to stick with one or two font styles and nothing more. Trust me this works quite well.

Improving image qualities Another big cause of ugliness in newsletter design are the images. Ugly newsletters typically have images that are either fuzzy, garishly colored or just plain old boring. That is why it is important to practice a little quality control in newsletter design and pick the right high quality images to use that will look good in printing. I recommend that you use high resolution images to make sure that your pictures look crisp and clear for your newsletters. Of course, you should also avoid all kinds of clip-arts at all cost since that will definitely make your newsletters amateurish and ugly looking.

Improving paper quality Finally, to add that finishing beauty touch for color newsletters, you will want to improve its paper quality. Sometimes all it takes is to use great paper materials to make a design look great. Try to choose materials that have aqueous coatings or special glossy finishes to add that gleam effect that makes designs and color newsletters look really beautiful indeed.

Great! Why dont you try all these beauty tips in newsletter printing now? You will feel the great difference in your designs afterward, trust me.
