April Newsletter: Is It Worth Paying For?

[naekelsey]

Does anyone have a copy of the newsletter that got sent out to your customers for April?

I can't decide if I want to get it or not.. Is it worth paying for it?(until the price gets combined with the website price)

Re: NewsletterYou don't have to pay for the newsletter. It is already part of your website if you are paying to have a PWS. And the April Newsletter won't go out until the 2nd.

Re: NewsletterOh, I didn't know that!!! Do you get to look at it before it goes out? Or does it just go out?

Definitely! You can even add a custom message if you want (the part that is below your name/photo- if you have one). Go into your PWS Assistant page. Click on Customer Connection. Along the right side, you'll see there is an eNewsletter preview for the upcoming newsletter. That is a downloadable PDF.

You can customize the message in the eNewsletter Set-up page under the "Contents" tab.

Re: NewsletterDo you use the default message by your picture or did you make up your own?

Re: NewsletterI also was wondering this, and not sure if I should start another thread.......When you enter someones info into PP and you hit "add to contact list" does this person also get included onto your website contacts? and then vice versa? Hope this makes sense!!

Re: NewsletterYou have to sync them. but if you put it into P3 and hit add to contact list then sync them the contacts will go over onto your contact list on your personal website.

First- it's not as confusing as it sounds. If you open up CC and follow the steps, you'll see what I'm talking about.

Do you use the default message by your picture or did you make up your own?

Some months, I let it use the Default. Other months, I've added my own message...especially if I am offering a special deal, or maybe I want to include a small recipe or something. You can type the message you want, and then below it, you'll see a place you can enter an "expiration" date for that custom message. So if you are like me and very forgetful (which is why I switched to PC, so I don't remember my newsletter the 15th of the month!) - then you can tell it to use the Custom message until a certain date- like say the 25th of the month (in case someone forwards your newsletter to a friend). Then after the 25th, it goes back to the Default message created by PC.

I also was wondering this, and not sure if I should start another thread.......

Like Sharon said, you do have to sync your P3 with your PWS. But that will only add a contact to your PWS contacts. It won't add it to your newsletter unless you select them as the "Newsletter Group". You know how in the p3 contacts you can select the groups....make sure you have one for "Newsletter Group". If it's not, you can click on "Edit Groups" right below the list of groups in the Contact's screen and then you can create a new group (again- when you have it open in front of you- you'll see what I mean).

Once it is in PWS contacts, then each evening PWS contacts are synced with the Newsletter contacts to add any new contacts from your "Newsletter Group" list.

Re: NewsletterI will have to work on syncing. May not sound confusing but it really is..If you add people to the newsletter list after the newsletter was sent out, will it automatically send them the newsletter when you add them?

I do not think so, but you can send them a copy. When you are in the newsletter admin pages, click on the "Newsletter" tab. Then in the actual newsletter, under your contact info or picture, there is a button that says "Share This newsletter". A window pops up where you can enter email address or addresses, and a short message if you want. Then it will send it out to them. (I just discovered this last month.)
