Or are the ones given the only choice? I want to send an email about my Black Friday sale. Thanks!
 
There is a "Visit My Website" one that you can add a Black Friday message to that might work for you. I use mailchimp.com to send out emails and newsletters (Joy's) to my customers.
 
I use iContact. Love being able to personalize them, but there is a monthly fee for doing that.
 
I used my PWS but actually set my Black Friday Sale up as a show with myself as the host. Then I signed in as the host and imported my guest list (learned how to do that from someone on this site :) ) I edited the format of the E-invitation to read what I wanted it to say...

i used to use them too, but i switched to mailchimp because it's free. i use joy's tasty tidbits and copy the html & paste it into mailchimp to personalize. i love it.

Me, too. They also have some templates you can use to create your own email.
 
I wonder if HO will do a Black Friday sale again like they did last year. They had a nice looking e-mail if I remember correctly. So maybe they'll do that or something similar again this year. I just wish they'd give us a head's up on that because we all like to plan ahead...
 
Wasn't HO's a Cyber Monday sale?
