I have had customers use links on my website and they all cycle back to the same newsletter!:mad: (I tried the links for recipes, shop now, etc.) Not happy at all considering this is prime buying time.
 
supposedly it is fixed now.. this is why I never switched over from Mike's newsletter.
 
Precisely why I am not using the PC newsletter service yet. It's been nothing but glitches and screw ups from day one. I am giving them some time to work out all the kinks before I decide whether or not to use it.
All day today the Director's loops have been flooded with email complaints about the newsletter service/ :(
 
I'm with Carolyn on this one. I'm not using it yet until the bugs are worked out and they offer more info in it.

It is fixed. I had to switch because I could not afford icontact. I was paying them $30 a month because when I rolled over my initial contacts, I had to up grade. Once I got most of the contacts off, they don't down grade.

Still getting Mike's newsletter, however and sometimes I send that out mid month.

If things don't straighten out, when I can afford it, I would go back in a heartbeat. Still will stick with Mike, because I still like what he offers and it is affordable for me to have his letters as a back up.
 
Ann...you may want to look at emailbrain or mailchimp. Does mostly the same as icontact but for half the cost.

The thing is, last month, I had the best open rate, and the best response that I've ever had to a newsletter - using the one from HO. Last month's was so good, I just can't figure out why it would be so crappy this month. It's like they used totally different writer/editor/layout people.:(
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the links in my Pampered Chef newsletter are not working?

If the links in your Pampered Chef newsletter are not working, first check to ensure that the URLs are correctly formatted and complete. Make sure there are no extra spaces or missing characters. If the links are still not functioning, try testing them in a different browser or device to rule out any browser-specific issues.

How can I ensure that my links are clickable in the Pampered Chef newsletter?

To ensure that your links are clickable in the Pampered Chef newsletter, make sure you are using the correct hyperlink format. In most newsletter platforms, you can highlight the text you want to link and use the hyperlink option to insert the URL. Always preview your newsletter before sending it out to confirm that the links are working properly.

Why are some links in my newsletter directing to the wrong page?

Links directing to the wrong page may be due to incorrect URLs being entered. Double-check the links to ensure they point to the intended destination. Additionally, if you are using shortened URLs, verify that they are still active and not expired.

Can I track the clicks on the links in my Pampered Chef newsletter?

Yes, many newsletter platforms offer tracking features that allow you to monitor the performance of your links.

Check your newsletter platform's documentation for specific instructions on how to enable and access link tracking.

What should I do if my newsletter links are working in the preview but not in the sent version?

If your links work in the preview but not in the sent version, it may be due to the email client of the recipient. Some email clients may block certain links or format them differently. To troubleshoot, consider sending a test email to yourself and checking it in various email clients to see if the issue persists.
