Just a quick message about how I've gotten the database cleaned up and about the changes that lead to me posting flyers here instead of "free" on the website. If you are a current or past subscriber or trial member, you should receive the notice too.

On a side note, I know I'm not everyone's favorite, but sheesh, is it hard to see all those unsubscribe requests come in! I am guessing they are just people who signed up for a 15 day trial and never stuck around...
 
I got it Joy and I'm going to check right now to make sure all my info is fine. Ironically, I just renewed last night. Oh, and I won't be unsubscribing...ever!! :)

LOL thanks Jodi. I meant they were unsubscribing from the mailing list, even though this isn't my normal mailing list... it's the only way I could think of to reach everyone by emailing anyone who had ever signed up.
 
I got it as well and everything looks ok :)
 
After the free trial, what is the monthly charge?
 
OOPS - I resubscribed when I saw the "you need to resubscribe" notice. Then I read your 'do not resubscribe' note on the site. If I'm not close, could you just reimburse me the $15 through paypal? If not - hang on to it for next time. Sorry for the trouble; love your newsletters.

Hi Scott - actually everything should be working now... you're renewed for another 6 months... unless you don't want to...?
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I don't get any responses from my blast email?

If you don't receive any responses, don't be discouraged! Follow up with a personal message to those who didn't reply. Sometimes emails get lost in busy inboxes, and a gentle reminder can prompt a response. Additionally, consider varying your approach by reaching out through social media or phone calls for a more personal touch.

How can I track the effectiveness of my blast email?

You can track the effectiveness of your blast email by using email marketing tools that provide analytics. Look for metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and response rates. This data will help you understand what works and what doesn't, allowing you to refine your future email campaigns.

Is it okay to send a follow-up email after a blast email?

Yes, sending a follow-up email is not only okay but often encouraged! A follow-up can remind recipients about your initial message and increase engagement. Just be sure to space it out appropriately, typically a week after the initial email, to avoid overwhelming your contacts.

What content should I include in my blast email to engage recipients?

To engage recipients, include a clear and catchy subject line, a personal greeting, and concise information about your products or upcoming events. Use engaging visuals, testimonials, or special offers to capture attention. Make sure to include a strong call to action, encouraging recipients to respond or visit your website.

How often should I send blast emails to my contacts?

It's best to find a balance in your email frequency. Sending blast emails once a month is a common practice, but you can adjust based on your audience's preferences and engagement levels. Pay attention to feedback and engagement metrics to determine if you need to increase or decrease your email frequency.
