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
 
Did you make that?

Yup. Started with a standard form in iContact that has the designs already there & just added the text that I wanted. I was hoping seeing it laid out like that would help to motivate a few of them. But I'll take ONE. One is better than NONE!!! Right? ;)
 
That's EXCELLENT! I'm gonna try to steal. Thanks!
 
I'm jealous, I can never get cool icontact emails!

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

Finally figured out the referral program. I get a $25 gift card AND $25 account credit! So anyone who wants to sign up with iContact & is willing to say I referred them, I'd sure appreciate it! LOL Here's my personal referral link: http://icontact.extole.com/a/clk/3J3dbZ
