Announcing Your Website: A Guide to Mass E-Invitations and Neighborhood Flyers

[jessnaugle]

Is there a way to send out a mass e-invitation to your contacts to let them know that you now have a website. I kind of wanted something that looks real professional like the invitations and reminders that are already on the site. Any Suggestions? Also I want to make up a flier to pass around the neighborhood to let them know too. But I did this once when I first started with no response but I thought maybe a website announcement would have a better outcome. Any suggestions about that,too?

Thanks,
Jessica

my suggestion would be to act as if you are hosting your own catalog show (because you can make it one with no problem) and set it up that way then make your online guest list and send the e-vites out. you can also go to your closed shows and send e-vites to the guest lists from each of those shows....hope this helps.

Hi Jessica,Congratulations on starting your website! It's always exciting to share something new with your friends and contacts.One way to send out a mass e-invitation is to use an email marketing service like MailChimp or Constant Contact. These services allow you to create professional-looking emails with customizable templates and send them to a large number of contacts at once. They also provide analytics so you can track the success of your email campaign.In terms of creating a flier to pass around your neighborhood, I would suggest keeping it simple and eye-catching. Include your website's URL and a brief description of what your website is about. You can also offer a special promotion or discount for those in your neighborhood to encourage them to check out your website.As for your previous experience with passing out fliers, it's possible that the timing or messaging may not have been effective. With a website announcement, you have the advantage of reaching a wider audience and being able to track their engagement through website analytics. I would also suggest utilizing social media to promote your website, as it can be a powerful tool for reaching a larger audience.Best of luck with your website and SS2!
