Email Marketing
Here’s how it works:1. Collect all your clients into an excel document with all your email contacts in the same column.2. Check out the gallery of our email templates. (Don’t worry, if there’s one you’re not crazy about, we
can change it up a bit.)3. Email [email protected] and include two things:
a) what templates you’re interested in and b) that you have all your subscribers in a consolidated document.
4. We will set up your mailing account and schedule a GoToMeeting to walk you through everything and have you directly upload your list.
5. Lastly, once everything is good to go, we’ll walk you through sending your first campaign and schedule the ones to follow.
Here’s how we do it on our end:6. We use a 3rd party emailing application so you enter all your info and all your emails come FROM
YOU… don’t worry we’re not trying to snag your mailing list… we’ll actually never even see it.7. The service we use is FREE up to 2,000 subscribers. RapidScale doesn’t charge anything to send out
the templates we’ve created but the service we use charges if you exceed their maximum free level.
