I didn't send it to everyone on my contact list, just the few who have expressed an interest in signing at some point. I have 46 on that e-mail grouping and according to iContact, only 4 opened it. She's an officer in the military, so she knows how to get things done! She's wanting this as a hobby, but I foresee her changing her goals & taking off at some point! LOL

I've sent a few people to iContact in the past, then saw a blurb the other day about referrals. So if you are not already with icontact & want to try out their free subscription, please let me know. I'll go read up on the referral program and see if I can get some sort of credit! LOL

I've done the Consultant Connection e-mails a few times, but I feel so limited there! I like the ability to free-form stuff. I like the design aspect of it.
