Sending Bulk E-Mails from Your Website: Tips and Troubleshooting

[byrd1956]

Is there a way to send your own e-mail to all your contacts on your wesite? Haveing problems w/my laptop that has all my contacts, so I cannot acess them right now. I want to send an e-mail to them and just hate have to send them each individually. Any suggestions?

When you go into your PWS controls, you can select "Customer Connection". If you have uploaded/synced your contacts from P3 with your website, then you can select the contacts you want. Once you select a contact(s), you can select to send an email. It then pulls up 2-3 pages of email templates. There isn't one that is just blank, they are related to various specials, hosting, recruiting, etc. But you can put some personalization in them too.If you play around with it, I sometimes send a test message to myself. You can preview before sending also.But if you don't have your contacts synced with your website, then it won't do you much good.

Is it easy to sync up with P3?? I've got over 700+ emails in P3 and only about 100 on website.

Thanks for any help/tip

In P3, click on "Tools" from the top, then select "Personal Website Synchronization" (You'll notice there is an icon symbol to show you which icon on along the toolbar gets you the same thing - two arrows circling).It will guide you through the process then to sync up.

?? How often do you sync up?? After each show?? Once a month?? Just wondering...as with every show I get new contacts.

Thanks,

That's a personal choice really. Syncing will sync more than just your contacts. It will also sync shows. If you have shows in P3 that you want in the PWS, you can check a button to have it created when you sync, and vice versa on the PWS end (create it in PWS, and then sync, it creates it in P3...so you do it ONCE).

If you do alot, then you may want to sync regularly.

Ok, I know I must be having a DUH moment..it's lack of sleep I know.

I sync'd up my P3 and Web site, or it says I did...how come in Newsletter I still only have 226 people listed...once I enter emails in P3 and sync up, doesn't it take it to web site and newsletter info??

Thanks for helping me.

The newsletter is separate. There are several reminders to make the same changes to your Newsletter list as you do to your contacts.
