New 2013 Guide to Kyle is out!
Each year the Kyle Area Chamber of Commerce receives hundreds of requests from visitors, newcomers, HOA's, and tourism centers for information about our "Simply Charming" city. The Kyle Chamber meets these requests by mailing out relocation/visitors packets. This year we expect to mail out about 1200 relocation packets all over the country.
The Kyle Chamber is offering members the exclusive opportunity to promote in our relocation packets. The cost for a 1-year sponsorship is $250. Sponsors can provide promotional items such as brochures, flyers, calendars and other small, flat items you may wish to include in our packet. You may also include a welcome letter (on company letterhead) mentioning any discounts or special offers! Participants must provide 300 of each promotional item. For more information, please call 512-268-4220.

The Art Of The Email Introduction: 10 Rules For Emailing Busy People
Beware of multiple fonts, especially when copying and pasting - it can make your email look lazy at best and at worst, it can look like a ransom note. And it's really important to have a clean signature block that is on every single email and response you send, with all your relevant contact info and preferably from your work email. And DON'T add in a graphic file to your signature - those can really confuse people because every email from you looks like it has an attachment. Read more.
