By the month or by the minute, VNN is designed to help you!
As you can imagine, I field many phone calls on a regular basis and spend LOTS of time explaining the benefits of VNN membership. If you are receiving this newsletter, you already are well aware of most of what we do. But, have you really seen all of what VNN can do to help you with your practice and your desire to inform your clients and/or your community?
BY THE MONTH:
Each month, VNN produces two new animal health stories with multiple types of resources for your use in local media, on your website or as part of your social media marketing game plan. These stories are professionally researched and written and are designed to save you time and effort. Don't forget that we expect that you will "make the story your own" and put your name and hospital name in the by-line!
Also, every month VNN offers at least one hour long webinar to help you learn more about media in general. From social media powerhouses like Facebook to approaching your local weekly paper, we are dedicated to providing you with great information to answer your questions and concerns.
BY THE WEEK:
Our VNN News Alert and VNN Media Insider newsletters come straight to your email inbox every Thursday afternoon. This brief communication is designed to not only let you know what's happening at VNN, but also keep you in touch with newsworthy animal health and veterinary stories from around the country or even the world! Miguel de Cervantes said, "Forewarned, forearmed; being prepared is half the victory." This is especially true when it comes to the media...VNN helps you to stay "forearmed" and ready for whatever the media might throw at you!
In addition, these newsletters are a great aid in generating ideas for your blogs, newspaper columns or any other media segment.
BY THE DAY:
Through our social media network, VNN strives to keep members informed of news that's relevant to veterinary practice. Whether it's a new piece of proposed legislation or information on disaster relief efforts, staying in tune with our Facebook pages, Twitter accounts and even our own social site, PetDocsOnCall helps keep you in the loop. Beyond just letting you know about the news, we will remind you of resources that we might already have in place to discuss the topic at hand...again, saving you time and effort!
WHENEVER WE ARE NEEDED, 24-7:
As much as you plan, you will still get caught unaware by a crisis...either in your hospital, your local community or occasionally national in scope. VNN gives you instant access to professional help and concerned colleagues that are dedicated to providing assistance to you. Even if the need is not urgent, we are still happy to provide personalized consultations with you and point you towards the answers for your situation.
THE FUTURE?
Much as we have done for the past six years, VNN will continue to adapt to the changing media landscape. Our dedication is to you, the busy practitioners and it's our goal to keep you up to date on both animal/veterinary news topics and which media outlet will work best for your personal and practice needs! | 
A great press release was seen this week, coming from the American Pet Products Association.
