Important News From Tasty Tidbits

Joy,
I am so sorry to hear you are retiring! I have used your service in the past but let it lapse because I wasn't doing much with the business. I was getting ready to subscribe again when I saw this. Your service will be sorely missed by so many! Good luck with your future plans!
Bev

Joy, I am sorry to hear this! While I don't use your service, I know those who do love it! I currently use Erika and was going to look into you and My Email Designs. Now I will go with Mike. (For those wondering, I love Erika's newsletter but haven't gotten much response from it so I am trying something new!) Can someone tell me about Mail Chimp? I currently use Outlook and a Yahoo Group to send my newsletter, but would like to be able to track it!

Joy -
I wish you all the best in your endeavors, and am so truly grateful for your labors as a stellar creator of Tasty Tidbits and all the flyers. Your newsletters astounded me and my customers - I had sent out personal ones I made (hours and hours to do) then began subscribing and sending yours - and customers responded with regular orders and many who had not replied prior were contacting me. You rock - You go, girl (but don't go 'away'!). Thanks for your fine work.

no problem, I just want to help anyone who wants an option other than HO. Thanks for the e-mail update. I thought that was the old one, but it was the one my last mailing from her was sent from.

The ONLY reason I use the HO newsletter is because I can see who views it and I don't want to subscribe to constant contact.

An option you can check into is MailChimp. You get the same kinds of reports, but the Freemium plan allows up to 2000 emails for free.

ETA: When I say emails, I mean addresses.

And thanks to you, I'm using MailChimp and loving it.

I will be looking for a new service when Joy closes up shop. I want to send newsletters my way (and not have to transfer 900+ emails to Pampered Chef).

I have been contemplating having the PC newsletter sent to myself only, then using Outlook to view the source, editing it a bit and pasting it to MC to send to my customers.

Then, I saw Sheila's newsletter, and she let me know she uses the templates in iContact, so I might just explore some of the MC templates, too.

Doesn't the PC newsletter typically have what is also found in the "News" section of our website? It seems to me it did in the earlier days.

I take my newsletter (not Joy's :blushing and will edit out or condense the parts I don't want, and then I copy the news articles on my PWS news page. I can copy the text, and if I want to include the image, I just have to save it to my computer, and upload it in my iContact design.

I'm not talented enough to do my own from scratch using even the templates. My newsletter service has all of the links and host stuff ready to go....so I'm doing little. HOWEVER, I must say, I do not like the new editor in iContact. It's not as easy to use in my opinion. I resist change I guess. On several levels!

I'll be waiting to learn what you find out -- this is over my head but perhaps you can talk me (and anyone else using MC) through it.

It's actually pretty simple, I do it with Customer Connection emails all the time.

First, you send the email to yourself. Then, you open the email in Outlook and use the "View Source" option to see the HTML.

Copy the HTML and paste it into an online editor: Online-HTML-Editor.org - The free online WYSIWYG Editor!. Edit to your heart's content, then view and copy the edited HTML .

Then go to MailChimp and paste in the HTML code as you would with TT.
