I only send out ServiceMonster Fill My Schedule cards, but have been thinking about not sending out so many of them and interspacing a newsletter every other month instead.
But, I don't tend to think about anything long, so I keep letting it slide.

Where do you guys get your newsletters?
Darcie makes ours. Based on whats new, season, events, schedule etc.

We used to...I should get back to doing that. I used Steve Marsh's newsletter. Really liked it. Had the "voice" of owner operator and we were able to add our own blurb each month, photos and specials. We bought just the newsletter, I'm not sure if he still sells that independently or if you have to purchase it as part of a package now. We bought it about 10 years ago. Came on a CD that you could customize parts of the newsletter. You can send to your local printer or we ended up using an online printer to get them done. Came glossy and looked really sharp.

Windows 10 just ate the one I was almost done with. It's gone. Disappeared. I searched the entire C drive and OneDrive and Publisher shows a location for the file in recent documents that no longer exists. I am not amused. Only good news is I had printed a rough draft for Scott to look at, so as long as it's still in his backpack, I won't have to rewrite everything.

It has to be there somewhere. Could it have saved it to the clipboard in Publisher?
Sounds amusing. But I think everything is funny...until it happens to me. ; )

A lot of things happened because I just got a new computer, so I have been transferring files from the old laptop to the new over our home network. First, I transferred everything to what I thought was C:/This Computer/Documents. Then when I went to open a file, it showed everything in OneDrive/Documents and it said my OneDrive was almost full. So I highlighted all the folders and dragged them to again what I thought was C:/This Computer/Documents.
I believe this is when I started the newsletter and saved it to what I thought was C:/This Computer/Documents/C&S. When I went to file explorer to open a scrapbooking file that should have been in C:/This Computer/Documents/Scrapbooking, the entire path C:/This Computer/Documents was blank! So wtf. I looked in Photoshop's recent file and it showed the file I was looking for under C:/Users/Darci/OneDrive/Documents/Scrapbooking.
When I set up my computer, it never asked me to set up users, and I don't even know who Darci is because if I had set it up, it would have either been Darcie or darciedeann. AND I MOVED EVERYTHING OUT OF ONEDRIVE.
And so again, I highlighted everything and moved it back to C:/This Computer/Documents.
There is absolutely nothing left in the C:/Users/Darci path, and everything appeared to be where I wanted it. And then last night I went to open the newsletter and it was gone. Publisher showed the above photo in recent. And two of my folders in the scrapbooking folder are gone. Nowhere.

Google that Darcy, I pulled up where it has happened to many people. Most go ballistic but they re-post they found the files in a folder. It sounds like a common problem.
how much does service monster cost?

Think it's 1.35 per card. They more than pay for themselves
