Did you know that on average 70% of your school community is reading your newsletter on a smartphone?

It's all Smart Phone 📲

If we look at the stats from the hundreds of schools that use Hail to create newsletters we are seeing an amazing statistic.  On average the use of a Smart Device (phone, tablet) to read a newsletter is now around 70%.  

Its more important than ever to make sure your school community can read your newsletter.  With 70% using a smartphone its time to ditch PDF!

PDF has done its time. 

The PDF was designed to be a digital 'page' that was locked down for printing.  Perfect for those legal documents etc but not for a school newsletter. It did serve its purpose but it is well a truly a thing of the past.  

Why?

A PDF newsletter is frustrating enough on a desktop computer, but the reading experience is so bad on mobile that people simply are not bothering to even try. We've all been there, squinting into a 4-inch screen, trying to read and navigate a school newsletter, white paper or restaurant menu that has been created as a PDF.  

If your readers are having to pinch and scan then you've already lost them.

Check out this stat:

Plus there are so many design limitations with PDF:  you can't add video, or heaps of images and make changes without the need to re-publish it.  We've all been there, you create a school newsletter, PDF it and then release there is a mistake in it.  Sigh

So, I am calling this, PDF is dead!

Luckily there is a better way.  Hail has this covered.
