BUT what I can do is design the template so that you can just type in your specific offerings... hopefully that will make it a little easier. I'll throw in a little bit about online ordering and ordering deadlines for the holidays, and you can add your own specials and send.

How does that sound? I'll work on it this weekend! ]]> Tasty Tidbits PampChefJoy http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/black-friday-cyber-monday-email-57668/ Question Re: Who To Send To? http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/question-re-who-send-57521/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 20:15:55 GMT So, of course, I've been out of pocket for a couple of years with TPC, but I still have all my old contacts, and was able to import them to P3 without a problem, thanks to my handy-dandy flash drive!

Question is: Do I send out my first newsletter to all my old contacts with emails (over 200), or do I send out a quick email to everyone letting them know I'm back, and only send the newsletter to those I've stayed in active contact with?

I'm totally torn on this, so would appreciate any feedback.

BTW, in my first newsletter, in place of the top host for the month section, this is what I put:

I consider myself pretty computer savy, but haven't worked much with HTML and not HTML stuff.

I have set up an iContact account through Tasty Tidbits. Figured out how to bring the Nov. TT over to iContact, made my adjustments, etc.

I am now trying to send the test email, and it keeps saying "unsuccessful". Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I thought it was maybe because I hadn't removed all the HTML codes, but I have checked and double checked, and I can't see anything remaining.

I tried sending it to an alternate email, and got the same error.

I know once I get the basics figured out, I'll be okay...just need someone to give me some step by step to start, I guess.

How about a "new consultant announcement" email/newsletter type thing?

Just a thought as I'm restarting my business. So excited to be using your newsletter again! ]]> Tasty Tidbits nikked http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/new-consultant-announcement-newsletter-57132/ <![CDATA[Let's Talk Turkey Section]]> http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/lets-talk-turkey-section-57105/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 20:26:35 GMT Hi Joy!

I was working on my newsletter, and I was going through the text only portion in iContact to make sure I didn't have anything funky in there. I noticed that each of the underlined items in the "Let's Talk Turkey" section had links next to them. It appears that they would be to that specific product, but to the PC main page, which would direct my customers to the lead pool (which I don't want). I checked in the "Preview" mode, and it appears that the underlined items are indedd links.

I love the idea of having tons of places for my customers to click to encourage them to visit my site, but I do want them to visit my site (no offense to you other ladies :D). When I click on the links, there is a "Request More Information" button at the top which leads the customer to the form to fill out to find your consultant or request one. I've never had luck with the "find" portion working, and my name is so easily misspelled, I don't trust it.

Is there anything I can do to ensure my customers get to my site without taking those links out? I suppose I could just change them all to the main page of my site, but it doesn't give the same effect.

Thanks! ]]> Tasty Tidbits NooraK http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/lets-talk-turkey-section-57105/ I just sent out a blast email to everyone... http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/i-just-sent-out-blast-email-everyone-57086/ Fri, 30 Oct 2009 01:08:09 GMT Just a quick message about how I've gotten the database cleaned up and about the changes that lead to me posting flyers here instead of "free" on the website. If you are a current or past subscriber or trial member, you should receive the notice too.

On a side note, I know I'm not everyone's favorite, but sheesh, is it hard to see all those unsubscribe requests come in! I am guessing they are just people who signed up for a 15 day trial and never stuck around... ]]> Tasty Tidbits PampChefJoy http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/i-just-sent-out-blast-email-everyone-57086/ November Newsletter http://www.chefsuccess.com/f102/november-newsletter-57053/ Wed, 28 Oct 2009 22:48:30 GMT Hi Joy,

I know PC just sent out announcements about our website updates and such and was wondering if you were planning on up-dating the November Newsletter.

I know you are crazy busy with no time for yourself, so please don't stress if you hadn't thought about it.

I thank you for your amazing talent and amazing customer service!! :love:

If you have renewed in the last week, your expiration date may be incorrect. I"m in the process of manually updating the dates... as well as finishing the newsletter... and being sick... oh yay....
