"Send Date": Plan Newsletters In Advance

One of the many popular business features of NETOOX is the abilty to send newsletters via a professional e-marketing provider. Users even get detailled tracking statistics delivered right back into their NETOOX account and bounces / unsubscribes are also handled automatically.

Up until now, those newsletters were queued for delivery as soon as one clicked the "Send newsletter" button. With today's NETOOX update we introduce "Send date": Pick a date in the future and NETOOX will prepare your newsletter and send it whenever you would like! To send the newsletter immediately, simply leave that field empty (Note: entering a date in the past will also send the newsletter as soon as you click "Send newsletter").



There are several really good reasons why you should think about picking send dates for your newsletters. Here are just two:

  1. Usually people don't have time to read your newsletter right when YOU have time to send them. Maybe you work in the evening or on the weekend. Maybe you finish preparing your newsletter around noon time when the recipients are out for lunch. Imagine this example: It's Friday night und you just finished writing and awesome newsletter to your customers and send it out right away. Most of the recipients have already left their workplace and gone home for the weekend. On Monday morning they check their email: they have received many messages over the weekend from different companies, friends, and so on. Your newsletter simply gets deleted on busy Monday mornings. That was certainly not the point of you spending time and putting effort into a well written, nice looking newsletter.
    Our tip: Only send newsletters on Mondays after noon, Tuesdays to Thursdays before or after noon and Fridays before noon. This way you will reach the most recipients. Use the new "send date" to schedule the actual delivery for those times. Also take the geographical locations of the recipients into account (your afternoon might be someone's night) and split the list of recipients up into separate newsletters accordingly.
  2. Advertising for your services and products is crucial for your success. That's why you should regularly inform your business and product leads about what you have to offer. An inexpensive, fast and easy way of doing this is by sending out newsletters - even when you are away on vaction! You can now prepare the messags and schedule their delivery. NETOOX will take care of everything even while you are enjoying your holidays.
We wish you the best of success and - in the words of email marketers - 100% deliverability :)

Your Profile as vCard and QR-Code

You already know that NETOOX generates EMail signatures for you. Those are used in mails you send out from the NETOOX address book and you can download and use them in your EMail client program as well.

With todays update we added 2 more automatically generated files for you!


vCard

vCards are electronic business cards (file extension .vcf) that can be read with may different programs (Outlook, address managers, EMail clients, cell and smart phones, ...). Typically you would send a VCF file along with your EMails and recipients could then easily add your contact info to their address books.

NETOOX now generates vCard files for you to download and use howevery you like.
Tip: Download the file and add it to your NETOOX mail templates!


QR-Code

Surely you know thos sqare "bar codes" that are EVERYWHERE now. You can find them on billboards, in stores, on products, on the web, in newspapers, ... They are called "QR-Codes" and are popular because anyone with a cell or smart phone with an integrated camera can scan those codes. They sort of provide an interface between the offline world (on paper) and the online world on mobile devices.

The codes typically contain a phone number or an EMail address or a web address. BUT they can also contain an entire "business card" with your name, email, phone and web address. To encode all that information, the MECARD format has been invented.

Your NETOOX now also generates the MECARD texts for you. You can copy the generated MECARD text as it is OR copy the readily available QR-Code image and use it e.g. in your Word files or anywhere else where you want to give people a quick, easy and state-of-the-art way to get your profile data.

Tip: Copy the MECARD text into the according field of the business card design that has a QR-Code on the back at mlm.printassist.eu


Visit Settings > Profile > My Profile in your NETOOX account to get more info and the files!


PS: You can (and should) test out scanning your QR-Codes with your own phone! Apps for scanning QR-Codes are available in the app store of your smart phone's system (e.g. for Android devices you can use QR-Droid, on iPhones you can use Qrafter, ...). Tip: Simply scan the code right from your computer monitor :)

New Templates

We have now re-written the newsletter templates in NETOOX to support even more EMail client programs: Outlook, Thunderbird, Webmails, Smart Phones.

Some users have requested "neutral" newsletter templates without any topical design. So we added 3 new generic templates with red, green and blue styles:

Messaging Updated: New Features

Today's NETOOX update introduces an improved  messaging system and new features.

NETOOX "Messages" are a great way of communicating with your up/downline teampartners and other NETOOX users.
Why are NETOOX messages better than EMail? Imagine you have a downline of 300 teampartners and want to inform them about an important event. You could send out an email with 300 recipients - but how do you avoid EMail servers from marking you as a spammer and messing up your entire EMail communications in the future? And how do you get a quick overview of who read your message and who didn't? Not to mention all the replies you might get...
EMail is a great invention, but not the ideal solution for every situation. Communicating with your teampartners is one of those situations. Managing NETOOX messages is the easier and faster way to do this - and it keeps everything tidy in one place.

You can send a message to your entire downline (or just sub-sections) with a single click:



You can also send messages to NETOOX users. Easily find and pick the recipients, then write the message and send it out.



All recipients will get notified about new incoming messages directly in their NETOOX account (messages and notifications show up next to the main menu).

No matter if you send a message to a single person or hundreds of users, NETOOX provides you with a quick overview of who has actually read your message and when. Click the "22 recipients" link next to a message to see who received the message and who has read it:



Recipients can reply. All replies are listed neatly in the correct order right underneath your original message. Replies can be made out just to you (as the author of the root message) or ALL recipients. The latter allows you to have entire group conversations directly in NETOOX while still keeping control of who gets and reads what.


This should give you a quick overview of how NETOOX messages work and why it is the preferred way of many NETOOX users to communicate with others - especially their network teampartners.

Enjoy the new features!

Wishing you the best of success,
Chris

Groups: Link to Wiki Pages in Wall Postings

Surely you have come across this requirement: You updated a Wiki page in your group and want to post the good news on the group's wall. Or maybe someone asked a question that can easily be answered pointing him/her to the right Wiki page. Wouldn't it be cool to simply link from your posting to the Wiki page?

Well - now you can - and it is really easy, too!

Simply type a hash tag (#) and netoox will show you the list of available Wiki page names. You can keep typing to filter the list and then click on one of the page names to insert it into your posting.



When posting the message these placeholders "#PageName" are automatically replaced by links to the Wiki pages:


This also works in replies.
Cool, right?


BTW: You can also insert URLs (starting with http://) into your postings and they will be converted into clickable links as well!

Let us know BELOW ⇓ how you like this and what else you would like to see on the group wall!
