Mail Delivery Account: You will need to subscribe to some type of email delivery service. We recommend Constant Contact, but you can also use an existing Microsoft BCentral account or the Connectwise Marketing Manager. The first two can provide tracking reports on opens and click-through as well as manage your list for opt-in and opt-out. These online accounts belong to you and can be used for other purposes. If you choose an online service we can send your e-newsletter for you. If you choose the Connectwise Marketing Manager, we will send you a link to an HTML template that you can upload. If you choose to use Constant Contact, we can help you set up this account and upload your customer list. Monthly pricing for Constant Contact is $15 per month for a list of 500 emails, $30 for a list of 2500, and $50 for a list of 5000. You will need to prepare your customer list --- email address, first name, last name, company name are the fields that I use. Save this in Excel as a CSV file. We can help you set up this account and upload your customer list.
Content: Many companies use their first issue to introduce the service and include a welcome letter from the company president. We encourage you to customize your content. Our database contains articles for you to use as well as educational content such as Office Tips and Tricks. The newsletter is a great way to communicate about events, seminars, lunch and learn, specials and any other items of interest to your customers. Many companies include an employee or customer spotlight. Once you become a newsletter subscriber, you will have access to our secure database of content. Keep in mind that this database will be updated monthly to assure that content choices are fresh.
Would you be willing to share things that you use in your own e-newsletter with other clients using this service? If so, articles or photos submitted need to be copyright-free. Yes, I'm willing to share No, I prefer to not share
The Process: After your design template is finished and approved, we will populate the e-newsletter with your content choices each month and provide you with a link to view the working document. We will work with you to choose a monthly scheduled submission date for your e-newsletter content and will send you a reminder 4-5 days before your choices are due. Once we are finished, we can upload the e-newsletter to your delivery account and schedule it for delivery to your list. If you want the team at HTS to help you manage your Constant Contact account, you will need to be willing to provide us your login information. There is no additional fee for this service. HTS is not in the business of buying and selling mailing lists and will only access your mail delivery account and customer lists to assist you in delivering your e-newsletters to your clients and prospects.
NOTE: Please know that it is your responsibility to choose/provide the content for your company e-newsletter. However, we will do our best to remind you and help you with this process. Billing will not be adjusted if you choose to skip a month or you miss a month after we have sent our reminders.
