OK, has anybody had any luck setting up their Customer Connection?? It says that all our past host info is already there. Well, um, if it is, I can't see it. I have been about to lose my mind trying to add other contacts, and have had zero luck with it. I am about to start a monthly newsletter and if the kinks are going to be worked out of this, I want to set it up through my website instead of setting it up with my email program and then later switching to the website. I am so frustrated with technology right now!! :mad:

ETA--OK, somehow griping about it did help. :p I've got that working now but it looks like we can only send 3 kinds of emails through Customer Connection...none of them would work for a monthly newsletter. I guess I'll call tech support and see if there are plans to make it more versatile.

Hey there! I haven't personally set up my Customer Connection yet, but I can definitely sympathize with your frustration. Technology can be so tricky sometimes! It's great that you were able to figure out the issue after venting about it. Sometimes that's all it takes, right? As for the limited options for emails through Customer Connection, that does seem like a bummer. Have you tried reaching out to tech support yet? They might have some insights or be able to give you some tips on how to make it work for your monthly newsletter. I hope you're able to find a solution that works for you! Hang in there.
 
Hi there! I completely understand your frustration with technology sometimes. It can definitely be overwhelming. I have personally had success with setting up my Customer Connection and adding contacts, but I can see how it could be confusing for some. Have you checked out the tutorials and resources on the Pampered Chef website? They have some great step-by-step guides that might be able to help you out. As for the monthly newsletter, I have found that the email templates provided by Pampered Chef work well for sending out regular updates and promotions to my customers. But you're right, it would be great if there were more options for customization. I would definitely recommend giving tech support a call and seeing if there are any plans for future updates to the Customer Connection. Hang in there, and don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance. We're all in this together! :)
