Frustrated with 123request: Seeking Newsletter Alternative

[KRISTI'SCOOKING]

Is anyone else having problems with 123request? I have to repeatedly beg her for my newsletter EVERY month! I dont know what else to do. I have even called her on the phone to get my newsletter that I already paid for. My sister consultAnt forwarded me hers today. She already has February and I have never received January!

One thing I like about the newsltter is the pics. I do not know how to get pics in my email to show up in the body and those always did. But if I dont ever get the newsletter what does it matter if they show up!!

I am not even sure when my subscription is up but I definitely want to find another provider. If anyone has any suggestions, I would appreciate it.

Frustrated,
Kristi

I use Tasty Tidbits from ChefJoy on here - hers is nice and you can edit it before you send it.

YEs, i've had lots of problems and will be finding a different source once my time is up.

I was unhappy with the content so I ended up not using her anymore too. It never really seemed very fresh and exciting.

I am thinking of trying Tasty Tidbits, but have actually been "borrowing" from those that post here and then tweaking them a bit to be more of my own.

I haven't had a problem at all with 123 request.

Did you verify your email address last month?? I know she sent an email asking for verification.

 

[missyciccolella]

I had trouble last month, but she said it was b/c she switched delivery methods??? I emailed verification and everything has been just fine...got everything yesterday as a matter of fact.

I agree that the newsletter is not very exciting. The recipes included in the newsletter are sooooooo boring. Recipes that NO ONE would be thrilled about getting from me. So I always change them. Otherwise I like it. Got it yesterday too. Does Tasy Tidbits have awesome recipes included?

Yes, she always has some great ones and 6 months is $10...pretty cheap basic plan for someone else to do the majority of the work I think.

I have sent to email verification 2x and still nothing. She wont even personally email it to me. I am definitely done with 123by request.

I checked out the tasty tidbits. I havnt seen the actual newsletter yet but I always like the dylab flyers. I didnt realize that was from a newsletter person.

does anyone have the upgraded membership where they can track how many people open what? I think we should be able to see that info on our websites too so we know what is effective and whats not.

I haven't had any trouble either. In fact, I wanted an e-mail for the discontinued products and she sent one back to me within 24 hours of my request. As others do, I make changes but I'm glad the bulk of the work is done for me!!

I haven't had a problem with 123byrequest. Although I got another copy of January's newsletter with my February's this month!

 

[cpaylor]

I am having issues too! I had to request last month's and haven't recieved February's. I did not get a confirmation email and have sent several emails to aks what's going on - and have not gotten a response. I have had no problems until the change in delivery. I only have a few months left and may look for a new source.

I'm not trying to make mountains out of moe hills here, but I've gotten January 4 times LOL. Even one just today.

I LOVE the newsletter service I am using now. I was "borrowing" newsletters from here ~ but I still had to change them a little and well ... I just didn't have that extra time.

I use MyEmailDesigns.com.... it is managed by a PC consultants family member. It is very professional and I LOVE that it includes links directly to my website.

I wasn't sure about some of the features at first (I like the cutesy ones one Chef Success) BUT my customers seem to like this one better. AND for a $1.50 per month ~ I can't gpo wrong...

I am not sure if Mike has a sample on his website, but I am sure he would send you a sample (that's what convinced me)!!

If you do decide you like it, please tell him I sent ya!!:balloon:

I was very unhappy with 123 by request and when I cancelled before my subscription was she wouldn't even give me a refund! She said she doesn't give refunds, but mentions NOWHERE on her site what her policies are. She was so difficult to get ahold of that I didn't even fight it. I no longer recommend 123 by request.
