What our subscribers are saying

Jane Ryan, Office of Water, Department of Sustainability & Environment, Victoria (1-Sep-09)

"Great edition guys! keep up the good work - hope things are going well up there..."

 
Julie Lloyd, BSES (1-Sep-09)

"This is so cool, thanks Econnect!"

 

Greg Clough, Communication Specialist, Center for International Forestry Research, Indonesia (Oct-07):

“I like this monthly e-newsletter. I trust it. It communicates. That’s because the authors do the hard work for the reader. When it arrives, the reader knows it will need only 3-4 minutes to read. And for that small investment there’s nearly always a dividend. The authors make it attractive and easy to navigate. The sentences are short. This makes the ideas less complicated. This means it communicates. And when the message is always positive, it quickly builds the reader’s trust.  You can’t say that about most e-newsletters.” 

Janelle Hatherly, Manager Public Programs, Botanic Gardens Trust, Sydney, (2-Aug-07):

"I enjoy their [Econnect's] brief but salient points and like a good sermon the points they make seem to just ‘hit the mark’ with me."

Going Green Eco-Solutions CC, South Africa, (2-Feb-07):

"Just a little notey from sunny South Africa to thank you for your excellent newsletter - especially the aspects about time management. We are Eunete and Simon, two Physics graduates who are planning an Eco-Centre here in the Nelson Mandela Bay (on the Southern tip of Africa) where people can come to learn more about all sorts of green ideas, services and products in a beautiful outdoor setting...Your newsletter was particularly apt for us at this stage since we are currently very busy working on funding proposals...You're doing a great job!"

Other comments:

“One of my job frustrations is that I rarely get the time or opportunity to chase up useful bits of Interp background info. This newsletter was great – just the right mix and amount of info to absorb in a quick bite.” 

“Absolutely fantastic e-newsletter. Did all the things you're advocating. Such a pleasure to read. I'll keep this one among my treasures and send it on to others.”

“Thanks for the newsletter - I always read it (well, always skim it at least!) but especially enjoyed this month. I think that the tips you provided are things many of us know deep down, but often forget - or perhaps are a little too willing to sacrifice to satisfy our clients/scientists. Thanks for the reminder!”

“In a word, fantastic. This edition was great and the new format works well…Great stuff. Keep it up!”

“I liked your newsletter – it puts a different focus on communication.”
