Co+op Newsletter Templates and Newsletter Content

A library of newsletter template design files (available as InDesign files) available to help co-ops design more attractive and concise newsletters. The library includes multiple cover options, interior page configurations and type styles to match the content types recommended in the preferred practice – including messages from the co-op and co-op board, short articles, feature stories, recipes and an event calendar. Like any template, these configurations are designed to be flexible in layout but any changes to design must be approved by NCG’s marketing department.

A “how to” guide for using the newsletter templates is available in the newsletter Dropbox folder (link at page bottom). A webinar on understanding and using the NCG newsletter template is also available. The webinar includes information on the importance of understanding and using the established gridlines for copy and photo placement, in order to maintain design integrity.

Turnkey newsletter content is provided on a quarterly basis and is based on the newsletter template design files. Content is made available as print-ready PDFs as well as InDesign files. A content schedule is provided for planning purposes. Materials are available via the newsletter Dropbox folder (link at page bottom).
