I did their free trial for my APRIL NEWSLETTER and LOVED it, it was simple and they had clean layouts that were easy to customize. I was delighted to find out that if you have under 500 contacts, you pay ONLY $10 a month, and if you pay for a full year, its ONLY &8.50 a month! For a VERY small business owner, this was wonderful news! All of the other Eblast services I had looked into cost more than I pay for my website, which in my opinion is ridiculous.
So, lets stay connected not only through blogging, but also through email...simply go to my website to JOIN MY MAILING LIST
to be the first to learn about specials, shows near you, updates, and workshops!
It takes me FOREVER to choose which photo to include and how to word it though, so no worries to those of you considering joining my mailing list who do not want to be bugged all the time with messages (I totally understand). I can't imagine sending more than a couple a month which is another great reason to not want to pay $16-$20 monthly.
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU iContact for this AMAZING upgrade in my business's professionalism!! Try it yourself if you need an email marketing solution for your small business!
I feel like all this year I have focused on making everything clean and professional. Meaning, I figured out how to do little things that I should have sat down and figured out at the beginning of doing my art full time (3 years ago)... making a signature on Gmail (I know, sounds simple but it took me forever), putting tags on my blog posts, making Twitter connect to Facebook (haha), finally making a logo to use on letterhead, shipping labels, my website, and now my fancy new newsletters! Its amazing how much time things take that seem like they wouldn't take very long at all. But it is interesting to see how it slooowly unfolds.
