Have you been thinking about starting an email newsletter? Or do you now use a service like Constant Contact? Then consider giving Semaphore a try.
Get a custom email template based on your website (see special offer below), choose one of the ready-to-use templates from the gallery, or upload your own completed HTML or text-based mailing. Pricing will be competitive with Constant Contact and other major email marketing sites, but you don't have to pay monthly fees - sign up for free and pay only when you send out an emailing.
The rates are $7.50 per campaign and 1.5¢ per addressee.
Here are some of the key features of Semaphore:
* An unlimited number of mailing lists
* Segmented lists
* Custom subscribe and unsubscribe process
* Subscribe form and link for your website or signature
* Custom fields
* Export/import lists to/from Excel
* Confirmed opt-in
One of Semaphore's main advantages is the totally customized templating. Have Red Kite build a template based on your website, and you'll only need to type in your changing newsletter content each time (just as easy as using word-processing software).
Learn when and why emails bounce. Update email and other information for clients instantly. Learn who opens your mailings and where they click.
If you're interested in taking Semaphore for a test drive, email us and we'll set up a free account for you. You'll then be able to log in here and get started on your email newsletter, announcement or invitation.
You can send unlimited test messages at no charge - pay only when you mail out your completed campaign.
Special offer: Get a quick custom template for only $99.00.
This offer includes: custom header with your logo, custom footer with your contact information, one-column or two-column design, one photo of your choice, and custom colors. Complement your existing website or a current newsletter design. Offer expires March 31, 2009.
Contact Red Kite for more information - we'd love to help you get your newsletter up and running.
