Dear colleagues,

information for you.

We hope to see you today at our mail requirements seminar. Below  
you'll find the details along with an invitation to two webinars later  
this month on Social Networking and Marketing with Online Video.

Best regards,

Review of new mail requirements seminar today
Artco Inc., one of MIT's preferred print vendors, will join us today  
to review the new US Post Office requirements for the placement and  
size of addresses on flat-size pieces, including newsletters,  
magazines and large envelopes. If your publications are not formatted  
properly, you will not be eligible for an automation discount and may  
be charged at first-class postage rates. Artco will also offer tips on  
how to minimize your postage costs and delivery time. You will learn  
about other mailing considerations, including national change of  
address (NCOA) requirements and how to keep your mailing lists clean.  
Feel free to bring samples of your publications for compliance review.

Marty O' Brien and Debbie Puleo from MIT Mail Services will be on hand  
to outline the mailing services available at MIT.

Building 1-277

Overview: With higher-ed budgets being cut, shops in alumni relations  
and annual giving need to take advantage of low-cost avenues for  
marketing, fundraising, and engaging with alumni and students. Public  
social networking sites offer an opportunity to get your events and  
messages in front of students and alumni quickly and inexpensively.  
This webinar will take a look at three of the most popular social  
networking sites -- Facebook, MySpace, and LinkedIn -- and explain the  
changing functionality and rules you need to understand if you want to

Marketing With Online Video (webinar)
Friday, April 24
1-3 p.m.
Building 32-144
No registration required

Overview: The highly competitive work of recruiting students in  
today's high-tech world of quick sound bites and short attention spans  
can be challenging to colleges and universities. Online video  
marketing is a powerful tool that can differentiate a school and  
communicate its programs within the shortest possible time. While many  
schools struggle with the decision of whether to invest the time,  
money, and staff needed to integrate online video into their media  
efforts, nothing else comes close to the effectiveness and persuasive  
power of a well-designed video.

We look forward to seeing you at these events.
