Know-How Exchange : E-Marketing

yes, i think you can. Just copy and paste the source code into the email, all images will be attachments unless you have the picture i a webpage and have the picture links pointing to the image on the web.

give it a try and send you self the newsletter

by the way you should use a email service, this will help you keep track of the number of people reading your news letter, what links the click on, people who want to unsubscribe

Hi Amber,

That is easy to do using Dreamweaver and then just copying the source code as described above, however another alternative to try either alone or with a split list is to post the newsletter on your server and send a simple text email with the http link to the newsletter.

Granted, the full html won't pop open to people, but with so many email programs by default not loading images anyway, and not knowing the permission level of your subscribers, you might actually find that your open and clickthrough rate might be of a higher quality, depending on your call to action.

By doing a split list you can get feel for which will work better in the future.

If this is an ongoing email marketing program you are implementing, you definitely want to migrate to a 3rd-party ASP model. You could still even use your Dreamweaver developed file, but you can imbed it with the tracking codes that will allow you to truly measure your campaigns.

I hope that helps.
