Here's what will be covered:

For more information go to MyEmailDesigns.com

I've been using both services for a while now and I can tell you that I've never had such great customer service. When I've had a question, someone got in touch with me very quickly. My customers (and I) love the look and feel of the newsletters. It's really professional looking. I've gotten great results from it.

If you at all interested in a newsletter service or in iContact, this would be a great way to see it and ask questions.

You can get samples of the newsletters on the website.

See you all there!

Hi
I think I finally have a sufficient amount of Contacts to start emailing a monthly newsletter. I am so confused by the options out there and am not that proficient in electronic marketing. I was just at the website of My Email Design - do I need to buy i contact along with the newsletter? or is it part of it? I feel that my director needs to give us more support or training with things like this rather than recruit, recruit, recruit - even though it is the foundation of the business - we need to succeed and build a loyal database too!
Can anyone give me a brief tutorial of my newleter options and what it all involves and the cost? I would be so indebted!

iContact is optional. You can send the newsletter designs just fine without it.

HOWEVER - I think not using iContact is like the difference between riding a bicycle vs. a Harley. Sure, both are "bikes", but there's a huge difference in how you get from point A to point B. When you get to point B on your bicycle people might ask what took so long and why are you out of breath (if they notice you at all). When you arrive on your Harley (iContact) you make an entrance that people notice. The usual reaction is "Wow". You want people to notice your emails.

I paid $24 for a year of newsletter service. There are three designs each month. A newsletter, a short newsletter, and an outlet design. I just found out that he has designed the outlet so that it is always current and available whenever you want it.

iContact starts at $9.95 a month.

When I use iContact to send my emails, I can update my mailing list and send a newsletter to everyone in under 5 minutes. Usually within a minute I start seeing the tracking of who is reading my messages.

I've noticed an increase in my on-line sales since I've been sending out the newsletters. I'm happy with the quality, the price, the customer service, and mostly the results.

Is it the newsletter that is getting you the sales, or the use of i-contact? Or does i-contact help to increase the odds of people getting and reading your newsletter? I have a subscription with Mike and like the professional look of his newsletters. But, I haven't had too many bites with it. A couple that has made it worthwhile, but not that much. $10 a month for i-contact scares me. I just don't know if I want to give away that much of my commission each month. KWIM? I'm glad he's doing this webinar so I can learn more about it.

I have to agree as I dont have that much extra at this point in time and I dont have time to do a newsletter on my own as I work full time! So you use Mike but not IContact - did I understand that right?

Hi,
I was wondering what you considered a sufficient amount of contacts? I've been thinking about signing up with iContacts but I thought that I didn't have enough contacts to warrant spending ANOTHER $10 a month!!!
thanks!

Good question. I think there are many factors here.

First, the newsletter looks great and contains all the points I would like to make. My customers know they can click on any photo and go right to my website.

Second, iContact is white listed with all the ISP's so the chances of it not getting to my customers is very slim.

Third, is the consistency with which I send out mailings. Using iContact with Mike's newsletter is so easy. I make a point of scheduling my mailings so they go out on the same dates each month. I send out all three, so my customers hear from me at least three times each month.

Then, I call everyone who bounces to see if they have a new email address. I can then take them off the list or make the corrections.

If you are asking yourself if you can afford the price of a newsletter and iContact, you are looking at it backwards. How much will it cost you not to have it? Mike's designs are $2 a month. If you're making your own newsletters, you're wasting time that you could spend on the phone instead.

All you need to get is one good show and you've paid for an entire year of both services.

You can't afford not to have them.

Oh and the webinar was great. I learned a lot, too. The Q & A section with the experts from iContact was great. Everyone has some really good ideas and suggestions. I hope Mike does another one.
