E Newsletter

[Richard Fletcher]

Has anyone had much experience with the E newsletter? How do you set it up with your info inserted and how often does it go out? New to NACHI.

I do an E-newsletter. It is basically a webpage that gets emailed. You can see a sample here http://www.paccrestinspections.com/a...e_realtor.html

We create the newsletter in Frontpage and use a service called www.getbacon.com to email it. Its pretty inexpensive $9.95 for upto 500 names. One of the nice features of Get Bacon is that you can get reports that shows who opens the newslettter and when they open it.

I have been doing e-newsletters for two years and unfortunately only 25% of the receipients actually open it and far fewer actually read the full articles. Quite frankly I think one is better off using e-newsletters for past customers and printing paper newsletters for realtors.

We (unknowingly) created a problem with our "contact us" form delivery when we made some recent server changes.

Thanks for letting me know. It's fixed now.

Since I started using John's newsletter my business has increased significantly. Using Dec as a baseline then revenues have increased, on a month to month basis, 32%, 48%, 18%, -23% (tax time, ouch!), and 29%. If just comparing to Dec then revenue increased 32%, 95%, 130%, 79%, 130%. How much can be contributed to the newsletter and how much is from simply time of year I don't know but I'm not complaining. It is, by far, the best use of my marketing dollar to date.

Johns News Letter is the best money I have sent a Vendor so far, most excellent.

[Russell Spriggs]

Can't say enough good about it.
For the price of one inspection for a year (12 times up to 2500 email hits), it's the best bang for the buck possible - and, I get great feedback from clients and agents.

[Dan Bowers, CMI]

We tried setting up the enewsletter on Johns site twice with no luck. He said you could pay by echeck (we don't use credit cards), but the site kept trying to get a credit card - never gave us an option to give it a check.

Anybody got any feedback or thoughts on this??

[Brian E. Kelly]

I paid with paypal Dan, it is tied to my business checking account, pretty easy to set up.

[tneumann]

I also did that BK2....actually my PayPal Debit card was full at the time...and now it is empty and it automatically its my checking account
