I try not to send too many emails to my email group........don't want them to feel inundated. So last week I sent out my Email Newsletter, today and tomorrow I am sending out e-invitations to my Fall Preview, and now I'm thinking I would like to also send out an email about the Cookbook Fundraiser - do you think that is too may emails in a weeks time? Seriously?
 
Yes!!! Too Many
 
When I send out more than one a month, I make a point put in the email how I'm doing something a little unusual this month & sending more than my monthly newsletter.
 
I was thinking about that too, I had already sent my NL last week. I want to send out a retiring products sale mid month, then I wanted to try the RUFTH Trivet fundraiser maybe with the sale? ANd I really want to try the cookbook FR approach but thought about waiting until Sept 1 with my newsletter then? I know it's alot of info but there's just so much stuff going on!

My concern about the Cookbook fundraiser is that waiting until Sept. 1 will be too late for most people who would like to do a fundraiser in Sept.?
 
I know what you mean, oh what to do, what to do???

Yep! That's what I've been saying too! Good to know it's not just my dilemma!
 
I was considering the cookbook fundraiser, too. I think I'll actually call people for that one. I have a lot of school connections because of subbing, coaching, kids in school, etc. Peoplel don't use their computers as much as me.
 
I only try to email once per month.
 
I would say that's it maybe too many.

I try and email only once per month, but I sent 3 in June (newsletter, info about my one day sale, and a special host incentive). I sent one in July, and I just sent one last night about the new catalogs.

I'm going to back off now for a month until I send the September newsletter.
 
becky
maybe combine the 2 and title them "important newsletter updates"
and on the first line apologize for another email

just a thought
 
Yes, that's probably too many. Any time that I have done 2-3 emails within a month, I have gotten lots of "unsubscribe" emails back! Doh!
 
I linked my going going gone flyer & sale, with my August Newsletter, and it worked. Everyone is appreciative that I keep them informed without overload.
 
I do twice a month (1st and 15th) and have never had any complaints.
 
If you have done a couple already, I would suggest you at least wait a week to 10 days before you send another. I am thinking it is too many especially so close together.

I have sent the email newsletter - which goes to my whole email group....and I am in the process of sending out invitations to my Fall Preview - which I actually only send to past hosts & a few select customers (those who regularly place $200 or more a year in individual orders). So maybe if I wait until the 15th, I could send another whole group email making it very short and to the point about fundraisers?
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I feel overwhelmed by the number of emails I receive from my Pampered Chef group?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, consider adjusting your email notification settings or reaching out to the group leader to discuss the frequency of emails. You can also suggest a weekly digest format that summarizes key information instead of sending multiple emails throughout the week.

How can I manage my email notifications effectively?

You can manage your email notifications by customizing your preferences in your email settings. Look for options to receive fewer emails or to consolidate messages into a single daily or weekly summary. Additionally, using filters or labels can help you organize your inbox more efficiently.

Is it common for direct sales groups to send a lot of emails?

Yes, it's quite common for direct sales groups, including Pampered Chef, to send frequent emails. These emails often include updates, promotions, training opportunities, and event invitations. However, the frequency can vary by group and can be adjusted based on member feedback.

What are the benefits of receiving multiple emails from my group?

Receiving multiple emails can keep you informed about the latest promotions, product launches, and training sessions. It can also foster a sense of community and engagement among group members. However, it's important that the frequency aligns with members' preferences to avoid overwhelming them.

How can I provide feedback about the email frequency to my group?

You can provide feedback by directly communicating with your group leader or through a group survey. Express your thoughts on the email frequency and suggest alternatives that might work better for you and other members. Constructive feedback can help improve the overall experience for everyone in the group.
