I've really been trying to research what is best for my customers and for my team. I noticed that 123...is the only newsletter offered that will make one up for directors and their team. One that I can edit for my team.
I asked for a sample, but have yet to receive one. Could someone please
send me a sample of their team newsletter from 123byrequest?

I seem to be leaning toward Tasty Tid Bits because I can't get a sample from
123..
Can you add links to other places (such as UTube) when you edit Tasty Tid Bits?
Is it easy to edit some personal info. into each newsletter when she sends it to you?
Obviously, I need to make this decision today so I can get my newsletter out.
I have been using constant contact for 6 months. But very time consuming and more money.

Help?

Gina, could you send me a copy of your newsletter from Mike so I can
see what his looks like with PC material?
Thanks,

I use the Customer Connection emails on our Personal Websites. I don't see the point in paying extra or taking the time to do it myself when I pay for the website and it's already done for me! It's professional looking, I can add my own text at the bottom, and everything that I would include in a newsletter is featured on my website, so it's a great way to get people to actually VISIT my website, which is the whole point, right? Anyway, that's what I use.

I almost posted the same thing! Why pay extra for something you already have?

Because, like someone else posted in this thread I think, not all of my customers get it. In fact, very few do. They get stopped by blockers and such all the time. I get a much better response when I send my own through Outlook. I have the same problem with the invites from our websites. They don't get through to all of the guests. Very frustrating!

Diane sent me Mike's and it looks great! I'm sick of making my own and it being so darn long (upto 7 pages in Word!). Her's looks neat, crisp, and professional. Plus its in the body of the email and not an attachment. I'm looking at changing it over.

if she can't right now, I can send you mine... I love Mike's work and have used it for 1 1/2 years. I get good responses. I just switched to iContact for sending and I LOVE IT!

Could you e-mail me a copy? [email protected] So what is iContact? Thanks!

I never have a problem with people not getting my newsletter. People tell me all the time that they get it every month. I don't have any problems with the email invitations, either. I like how I can just select everyone in my contacts and send ONE email. I used to have to send 100 every month to 10 people each - NOT fun. I will never send a newsletter out using my email program. If we didn't have the website feature, I'd probably use Tasty Tibits. I used it before we got the Customer Connection on our websites, but had to separate out the recipients. I tried using a Yahoo Group, too, but that had WAY more problems with people getting spammed than my website. I don't want to pay extra, so I don't!

Another vote for Tasty Tidbits. I got samples from several different newsletter sources and TT was the format/layout that I liked the best and what I thought my customers would respond best to. While I know that recruiting is a big deal, I didn't like some of the samples that seemed to "shove" becoming a consultant down your throat. I don't want someone to see my newsletter and just delete it, b/c it looks like I'm trying to stalk them. TT mentions becoming a consultant, but it doesn't feel so forced (to me anyways). I will be upgrading my subscription when it comes time to renew. And paying for the service is worth it to me, b/c I work full time and I don't really have the time to create one and spend a lot of time editing things. This works best for me in my life. JMHO though!!!

My question is do you send it from your personal email? I did a test run and sent it to myself and it went straight to spam. How can make sure my customers are receiving my emails without having to ask them?
