[quote=AuntAdria]Mailing your mallers or indie 4m advertisers is simply best practice. It's thoughtful and allows the managers to keep in touch with their teams. Not only do I mail when trades are ready, I also put the link to my trades in the NM, so it's... READ COPY PASTE PAY It might be oversimplified, but I think it's polite and professional to follow through when you have put yourself in a leadership postion. Mailing my mallers once a week also allows me to chat a little about what is going on with sales, the last or future posts, or site activity.

This is why I do my updates also. Although I get some few people who gets annoyed with them, I simply just give them an option of opting out of having 3 updates per 2 weeks to having just one.

I just took over a 4MIL NB Ad so I think its a good idea to be involved with them. I am still learning what works and what does not. So if anyone has any tips let me know please.
