2. We eliminated the hassle of constructing an e-mail newsletter or company newsletter.

3. We created a newsletter with powerfully rich content from practical experience and then designed a newsletter template that works with Microsoft Publisher or MS Word. It arrives monthly with your subscription, and you approve it or change anything you desire. You can change frequency of distribution, articles, or format. Everything is in your control.

4. MS Publisher and MS Word are the most popular employee newsletter software programs in the world, although they aren't marketed that way by Microsoft. But we use them to make customizable employee newsletter solutions that has made EAPtools.com famous. Of course, it's also about our ability to write articles that employees want to read.
