Exercise Four (2000.11)
Make sure your notices are noticed
0 The simplest means that of imparting information is the adoption of a
00 message which is then posted on a notice-board. However,
41 this does not necessarily ensure the message will get through it. Neither
42 is its posting the end of the matter. To be effective, notices must
43 first be noticed. Used properly, notice-boards which can be a valuable
44 source of information and can promote communication. However, so to
45 do this they need to be positioned carefully, not where people pass, as
46 that is what they will do – pass by – but where the target audience is
47 likely for to stand. This means a busy corridor is a less effective place
48 for a notice-board than rather next to the drinks machine or next to the
49 lift doors – or even though in the lift. Many hotels advertise their
50 facilities in the lift, knowing – as there are no any distractions – that for a few seconds the notice will have the complete attention of the passenger
