Weekly Newsletter.......20th March , 2002, by Peter Wallmer.

	Brisbanehomes quote of the week "Develop success from failures. Discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stones to success." Dale Carnegie Dear Customer Do you get this email by hotmail ? Links not working ? If so please copy and paste this text into your internet browser http://www.brisbanehomes.com.au/newemail.htm Nothing like a week up the coast! Back now and ready to rock-and-roll. Well what an interesting response re the html or plain text email question I asked last week! Thank you if you replied with your comments. Because if the volume I have not been able to respond personally to every email. ( I will certainly do so soon.) Well, if there is one thing I've learnt in real estate, its that its impossible to please everyone, and the responses to this question have proven this theory again. Knowing the 4 different personality types, I suppose its to be expected. I have had some great suggestions, and excellent feedback. I will implement some of the ideas, and try new stuff to make this better for you. Thanks to the IT and e-commerce people for your tips as well - much appreciated. At this point, I will continue to run with this style of newsletter, only because of "majority rules". I will endeavour to give everyone the format they want eventually. Some people wanted a plain text newsletter, but the majority wanted html, and some in between. I will give a % break down next week of the responses for and against. Other points which I will address are printing length, colours, hotmail links not working ( thanks Hotmail ! ) to mention a few. If you have any other issues , please let me know. Oh, and a big thank you to all those who did give a glowing report and both thumbs up re the email format - you've made my week :-) On a another note, I have been asked again to speak at an REIQ seminar , this time at the Sunshine Coast for Real Estate people re technology. This is what it looks like from the audience....
