Found a New Email Sending Company (Free!)

[PampChefJoy]

I'm not sure how I came across this one... but I signed up for the lifetime free account and tried to upload the HTML code from a recent newsletter. Looks pretty easy to navigate (Noora - there is WYSIWIG editing for HTML code embedded in the application!).

Can't speak for the deliverability but all signs are positive so far that it's a fairly straightforward service.

Email Marketing Software, Online Surveys, Autoresponder Software

Joy I actually went into this to try it and can't seem to get it to copy right... I used the weekly dish... I really like the idea of being able to edit... With Mail Chimp you can't... Any ideas?

Can you describe what's happening? I tried it with the new August newsletter and it came over okay but I haven't tried every version.

Okay, so here are the steps in a nutshell:

create a campaign
use the advanced editor (upload your own html)
blank template
then when you get to the blank template, scroll down on the left toolbar till you see the button that says "source". Click on that and the window changes to a blank text screen - THAT'S where you paste in your copied HTML code. Then if you click on the icon next to the source, the little paper with magnifying glass icon, then it should go back to design/preview mode.

Any of those steps sound like what you were doing? If you tried to paste right into the blank template, I can see why that wouldn't work. It starts off defaulting to design mode, not html code/source mode.

Thanks so much for your help Joy! I did do all those steps... The only way I can seem to view anything other than the code is to "save" it and then hit preview... when I do this... the formatting is all wrong... I will try it on the August letter and see if that makes a difference. I do like it... but not sure it will work anyway... I have 1500 contacts, though less than 3-400 actually open them...

I'm not sure -- I didn't have to save mine to go to the preview screen. And I did use that issue of the Weekly Dish too.I got your email - I'll reply privately.
