Thanks everyone -- I've got a fairly large sample group now. I'll set up the last few who volunteered and then I will compile the feedback so I can decide what to do next... perhaps there will be some new offerings!!
 
Everything worked out fine for me. All the pictures came up and the catalog loaded quickly and was easy to navigate. Everything seems super. This is very well done.
 
Is it too late for me to get in on this

Thanks Joy for the wonderful Tasty Tidbits newsletter
All my customers love it.

I know I'm probably too late but since I'm new thought I'd see if you could add me as well. I've already gotten a few email contacts and haven't even had my first show so want to see an example of how you'll stay in contact w/your guests and hosts. thanks

I used to do graphics and I do my own newsletter. If you want I will email it to you, so you can see what I do.

Hi everyone,
I'm testing out a new mailing list service provider and need some feedback before rolling it out to the subscribers...

What I will do is email you a test version of the newsletter ...

Thanks!
Joy

Sorry Gina -- it went out on the 17th.. I sent both a personal message to the email addresses, and then 2 versions of the newsletter went out through the mailing list provider...

I used the address you gave me in your previous post... perhaps I'm in your spam box?
 
That's OK Joy - I hope you received some good feedback...

Of course it certainly answeres my question as to whether or not I can use your service????:confused: I am not a computer whiz and I have no idea where your email went - but i do not have it...

Regards,

Gina

Hey Joy, I got your personal email but never received either one of your newsletters.....I don't have a spam mailbox either.

Me too, I received the personal email but no newsletter. I don't have a spam filter either.
 
Same thing here, I got your personal email, but not the newsletter(s)... I use Hotmail, so it does have a spam filter, but I check it at least once a day so that nothing slips through.

Ugh, sorry ladies... that's exactly why I wanted to try it out with a small group, because if the service can't get the emails out, then it would be disaster for me to try it with my entire list!

I will go in and try to resend it once more...

Okay, I just resent one version. Please let me know if you still don't see it -- would be interesting to see how many don't.... these should be individually addressed (not BCC, etc) so it shouldn't be nearly spammy as the other way... I really like this provider so I am hoping it will work with them....

THANK YOU for letting me know -- I appreciate your feedback!
 
Joy I just got it, but didn't have a problem before.
 
Joy,
I just got it too. Everything seems to be in working order.

I got the first ones that you sent out, but did not receive this version. Would love to see it.

It's the same one... I just clicked "resend".... nothing different.

However, the fact that you didn't receive one this time worries me... I cannot invest in a system that is hit and miss!
 
OK, I just checked my email and I received it this time. It looks very nice - all of the photos came through and I sent it to myself at my work email addy and it came through fine.

Thanks for including me as a guinea pig!!
 
I got it too!Hello Joy,
I got it too! It looks great! The links are great and it's very colorful and attention grabbing!
