The Handmade Beauty Connection
2005 Editorial Calendar
Our 2005 Editorial
Calendar gives members a "sneak preview" of some of the exciting
information that is planned for upcoming issues. It also makes it easier and more fun Sponsors to select which issues to
sponsor. For more information on sponsoring our newsletter, click here.
Our Editorial Calendar announces the focus of our
Feature Article of the Week. For example, as you will see, as holidays
approach, feature articles will be prepared around the appropriate holiday theme. The rest of the year will feature interesting topics
of interest to our readers such as pregnancy care, hair health, herbs, battling depression naturally, etc.
A Sponsor may wish to choose to feature products and services that correspond with the theme for that week's issue. For example:
- Looking your best theme: mineral makeup or anti-aging creams
- Importance of sleep theme: essential oils that promote rest/relaxation
- Rise of organics: organic oils for sale
- Popularity of "do it yourself": kits to make your own cosmetics
- Benefits of journaling: essential oils that promote introspection and
peace
Many articles feature comments and editorials by professionals in their fields. For example, the issue on the importance of sleep
will feature quotations from health care providers about the importance of sleep, while the article on well baby care will feature information
provided by a pediatrician.
As always, our Editorial Calendar is subject to change due to unforeseen circumstances, but we plan to hold to this schedule as closely as
possible and any substitutions will be complementary. Note also that some
issues are reserved for HBN's special announcements and are not available.
