Default Monthly Newsletter _ Buyrequest123?

I was at a regional kickoff today (in CT) and Nancy Toombs mentioned a great newsletter called something like By (or buy) request123.com or something. Does anyone know about it, I want to check it out!

I have used the ByRequest newsletters for over 1 year and have gotten a great response from my customers about it. The newsletter is emailed to us each month on the 15th for the next month and you are able to edit to insert your own info. We receive both an e-mail version as well as a word document you can print and send. The website is www.123byrequest.com.

I use it, too, and have had a great response.

Maybe I am a stickler, but I do check it over pretty thoroughly for spelling and grammatical errors and often have to change something each month.

Nonetheless, I do like the professional look and my customers do comment on how impressed they are.

I too currently use this service. I did have to start using the Word Document and import it into an email. She uses "links" to the pictures - not actual images in the newsletter. That was causing a problem when I sent it to a few mail servers - my guests weren't getting the pictures, it was taking forever to download, etc. That's my only complaint. I have gotten bookings, orders, comments, etc back from sending it out though!

I just received the first one since Stephanie switched to the new subscription service and I'm unable to forward it to my customers without it losing all the pictures and the formatting.

Is anyone else having this problem? I wrote a note to Stephanie, but haven't heard back yet.

I used Tastytidbits.net (Joy Edwards) ~ she also created the new 2008 discontinued flyer (provides it for FREE) and the Do You Love A Bargain flyer for your hosts.

I have heard some folks have problems getting their subscribed newsletter from time-time with request123 ~ I have never had a problem with tastytidbits! Highly recommend you checking this one out too.

If you sign up with her, you can get free subscriptions by refrring folks who sign up with her too.

I use by request as well, I did some research before I went with her. I suggest emailing all the subscriptions and take a look at the sample...that is what I did I am so happy with my selection!
