Have you tried the 123Byrequest Newsletter yet?

[jwpamp]

I just subscribed...I am so busy with my own shows and trying to provide leadership for my TEAM, that this is something I was willing to give up (never really got any business from it, just a way to keep my name in front of them and a nice Customer Service thing).

Has anyone had issues with customers NOT getting it or being able to see it? I use Yahoo.

Thanks in advance for your replies!!

I just started using it and everyone seems to be getting it. I even sent it from my yahoo account to my work account (which has a major spam blocker) and it came through.

That's exactly why I started using this. I stressed out every month because it got later and later into the month before I had a chance to send it. This month I actually sent it out on the FIRST! That was the first time I've ever done that.

And I HAVE gotten business from it! Especially the one she recently put together with all the retiring items. Got several orders from that.

I get some business from it as well. I don't know of anyone not receiving the newsletter, but I'm not sure how I would know with most of them.

 

[DebbieJ]

I also use this service. I love not having to think about it and my customers are impressed by how professional it looks.

I don't hear when someone doesn't get it, but customers often tell me that they appreciate receiving it. I also got a couple orders for retiring items.

What does this service provide...how do you sign up...how much does it cost? I have been having trouble lately with my computer not opening graphics...even in word and word pad. So, I need to find a new way to handle newsletters. I really like Rita's, but can't open the graphics.

 

[rebeccastt]

Stephanie sends an email once a month, usually around mid-month for the next month's issue, that has a nicely made newsletter with graphics, recipes, etc. All you have to do is hit "forward" and type in your addresses. She also sends one by email that you can print out if you so choose.

Go to her site, 123byrequest.com , and click on "Newsletter Samples" to see what it looks like.

How does one FW an email to over 750 people?? I get really sick of emailing 10 at a time, it makes me insane. I need some type of service that emails them all at once! WHY oh WHY can't PC come out with a "subscription" service like SLAH, Homemade Gourmet, and a few others. Wah!

 

[rebeccastt]

I send mine out in groups that have 98 or less. I don't know if this helps, but I think it does!

 

[Pampered Laura]

If I go over 25, my email shoots back mailer daemons that say "too many recipients" in each "undeliverable" notice. I've had to break my own downline in to two seperate emails because we went over 20. UGH!

 

[rebeccastt]

Yikes! That is no fun....maybe you can look into getting a different email address.?!?

 

[Pampered Laura]

I really like her newsletters. I love how clean they look, and no grammatical errors that I can see. I DO like being able to edit them... hmm....
If only I could get an idea of how to get it to SO many people without going nuts!

 

[Pampered Laura]

Its Yahoo. Do you think that's the problem? I think I'd rather email 750 people one at a time than change email addresses at this point. LOL!

 

[rebeccastt]

That's my guess....I don't know for sure though.

 

[Pampered Laura]

And to make it worse, P3 doesnt have an "export" feature yet so we can't get email addresses from P3 to Outlook anymore. EEEK! I'm thinking I'm not gonna get around the 10 at a time deal. LOL oh well. Can someone send me a copy of the 123 newsletter for this past month so I can see an updated version? [email protected]
Thankie!!

 

[rebeccastt]

Sorry, Laura. I'd send you mine, but I just deleted my "deleted emails" folder the other day since my computer was running so slow!

 

[rebeccastt]

Duh...I just figured it out. It was in my "sent" folder. Brain freeze! I just sent it to you.

 

[4kids4me]

I use these 123by request newsletters. She delivers them on the 15th. When do you suggest emailing them out? thx!

 

[DebbieJ]

I mail mine out right away. I figure if anyone wants to book with the March host special, we better get on it now! There's no need to wait til the first of the month.

Are you putting them in the BCC section or the To section?

 

[Pampered Laura]

BCC section always. I never want anyone to see anyone elses email addresses

 

[DebbieJ]

Always BCC. I have about 30 distribution lists in Outlook. It's a PITA, but it works!

 

[ChefinHarmony]

Yes, my brother had a yahoo address and could never get the pictures. I had a few customers say they didn't get the pictures either. I started using the Word format she sends, because her pictures are "linked" to the website - she doesn't actually use files for the pictures because the newsletter would be too big.

I open the Word file (one she sends us to print), do a "select all", then paste it in an email message (everything comes in). Then I send it/forward it out to my customers. Since I started doing it this way, everyone gets all the pictures and the format seems to hold instead of getting messed up.

Just my advice!

[kearstin]

I've decided to go ahead and sign up for this service.

For those of you that already use this service, I'm not 100% clear - do you have to choose the format you want it in (i.e. HTML or Word)? I will be sedning the newsletter out with a Hotmail email account and I don't want to have to worry about customers not seeing the graphics, etc.

TIA,
Kearstin

This month she sent me two formats - one is just an email you can forward (but that was the one some of my customers said they had problems with) and the other format is in Word. That's the one I've been using - cutting & pasting. Try sending one to yourself if you have an extra email address (that's what I did - I sent it from my business email address to my yahoo account) and see which one works. I do like her format - it's clean and professional.

[dollfangs]

can someone send me a copy please? I am comparing them all before I sign up. Thanks

 

[rebeccastt]

You can go to 123byrequest.com to download a previous issue. Stephanie has asked us not to forward them on to other consultants. Sorry!

 

[lisacb77]

Laura, I have Yahoo. I can have groups up to 99 each before it tells me it's too many. I BCC them and put myself as recipient 100...Yahoo has a max of 100 on a message. HTH.

I have gone to the website but she doesn't have any current ones on there. I just want to see what they look like currently before deciding to spend my money. I can respect you saying that you can't forward them but do wish that you wouldn't use that excuse after you have just forwarded to another consultant a few messages up. Thanks anyway
