Start by adding your subscribers:

1. Click Members for a drop down menu.
2. Mouse-over Add Members.
3. Click Add Many Members
   
   
   
   
4. Paste or type email addresses inside the Email addresses text area.
   

   Note: If you would like to import your list via .csv file (i.e., Excel or other spreadsheet application), please refer to our FAQ

   

   Note: Make sure each address is on a separate line before clicking Save.

5. Click
6. Once complete, a dialogue box will confirm member import status. Click .

Creating Your First Mailing

1. Click the Mailings button for a drop down menu.
2. Click New Mailing.
3. The Mailing name and To fields are automatically filled in for you. [Do not change the To: field]
4. Fill in the From address. By default, your email address will appear here. You may edit this field if necessary.
   Example: "Your Company Name" <youremail@yourcompany.com>
5. Fill in the Subject of your message. Recipients will see this line as the subject of the email they receive.
   
   
   
   
6. You are now ready to type in your message using HTML, Plain Text, or both. We advise sending both HTML and Text parts. Recipients who can see HTML will only see the HTML message. However, if you send your messages in Plain Text format also, you will ensure each subscriber will receive it as you intended and will be able to read it properly. To do this, paste or type HTML into the HTML message area; and a plain text message into the Text message area.
   
   
   1. HTML - This is where you can customize your message by changing Fonts, Font sizes and Text Colors, and adding emphasis with Bold, Underline, Bullets, Hyperlinks, etc.

      Note: If you want to design your newsletter in Dreamweaver or another web design program, click and then paste in your HTML.

      
      
      
   2. Plain Text - This is where you can type in a plain text message. This ensures that those who cannot read rich text emails will receive your email in plain text format.
      
      
      
7. Click
8. Enter the email address to which you want to send the test email. (You can send the test to multiple email addresses by separating each address with a comma.) Click
   
   
   

   Note: After clicking OK, a dialogue alert will appear indicating that the test message has been sent.
   It may take a few minutes for the test email to reach your inbox.
   Test messages substitute a random subscriber into the email that is sent to you, only to show what a sample recipient will see.

9. Need Approval. Once you are satisfied with your test message and are ready to send your mailing, click the Send link located in the same row as the message you want to send. After clicking Send, you will be brought to a page asking you to confirm that you are ready to send your mailing. Click OK to send or click Cancel. Once you choose OK, a message displays briefly on your screen informing you that your mailing will now be sent.
   WARNING: Do not click "SEND ALL" unless you want to send all of the messages in the "Need Approval" section to your list.
   
   

   Note: If you have Saved and Tested more than once, you will see multiple tests in your approval queue. Choose your mailing carefully before you hit send. It is advised that you delete old versions.

   
   

   Note: Do not click SEND ALL unless you want to send multiple messages to the entire list. To distribute a specific message, please refer to step 9 above.
