Prepare The Message

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

After you have prepared the list of e-mail addresses you need to compose your e-mail message.

 

1)  Enter a Subject, one which will catch your customer's attention and not just ignore your message.

2)  Type your message.  Remember to use your best manners and marketing skills.  If you choose, you may compose your message in some other medium such as MS Word which supports HTML formatting.  Copy and paste your message into this text field.

ANTI-SPAM DISCLAIMER

You should always have the following information at the bottom of your e-mails so that you cannot be accused of spamming.

Include your company name, address, phone number and an "unsubscribe" statement which will indicate they are receiving the e-mail because they gave you permission and the option to be taken off of the mailing list.

3)  Save your message.  If the message could be used again, be sure the Subject field is filled in.  Then click on Store Message [F8].  You will be notified that it has been saved.

To restore a saved message, click on Recall Message [F9].  You will see a list of previously saved messages.  Highlight one and choose Select.  You may edit the message and save it again.
