Alerts Newsletter Pro

Today begins the start of a more enhanced newsletter that includes more detailed information than our typical Restaurantchains.net Alerts Newsletter.

The reason for the change and the enhancement is as follows:

*Readers wanted more information than we were offering.
*Internally we found we required additional income to make a more sophisticated newsletter.
*Non-subscribers were deluging companies in the Alerts Newsletter with too many prospecting phone calls. We believe the free aspect of the newsletter did not help sales personnel to be as discreet as they typically are.

So, starting today we are going to limit the amount of stories for no charge and provide the extra information we had not previously offered. The cost is around $7.50 per week.

Paid subscribers (and Restaurantchains.net Pro clients-the enhanced newsletter will be included with their company subscription) will be receiving a larger newsletter with contact folks, emails and all company particulars in MS Word and MS Excel formats.
