Email Marketing code

Is there code you can add into email marketing templates to be viewed better on smart phones?

HTML/CSS for email marketing is still one of the trickiest arenas because of lack of standards in most email clients and all the different email clients (Gmail, Outlook, etc.) implement CSS differently and some even strip non-inlined CSS completely from the email.
Having said that, the easiest way to build email campaigns that look better on mobile devices is to use more flexible CSS. The basic underpinning idea is to stop using fixed-width CSS values and convert those to "max-width" values. For instance if your email's main content lies in a table with a class of "email-content" and that elements CSS is set to: "width: 500px;" then you'd just change that to "max-width: 500px;". This way, the table will be flexible and should scale it's width based on the device or email client's viewport on smaller screens but won't exceed a width of 500px when the viewport is larger than 500px.
You can do the same thing with all element's CSS references.. look for CSS "width" definitions in your markup and CSS and adjust those to "max-width" and you should see your email get more flexible. Here's some more info on responsive email campaigns: http://www.campaignmonitor.com/guides/mobile/

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers within a postcode range. How do you do this? Thanks.

Hey RP in Oz,
You can run a contacts report and select 'Default Address Type' as an 'Address Details Field' which will include the zip code a customer has inputted. You can then export the report, open it up in Excel (or similar) and filter based on the postcode. Once you have modified the list in excel, formatted it correctly and are satisfied, you can then import the report as a mailing list via E-Mail Marketing > Mailing Lists.

Is there a trick to publishing iWeb page html in email marketing campaigns?

I've searched around on this forum but haven't come across an answer. What I'd like to do is create a webpage in iWeb and use it with GoDaddy Express Email marketing. When I do it, it comes up all funky. I've tried it with Constant Contact, too, but no luck. Can this be done or do the iWeb html codes not jibe with other applications? I'd really love to use my own webpage design consistently through email marketing campaigns. Their templates are pretty ugly.
If someone knows any tricks, I'd love to learn them. If it's not doable, then go ahead and break the news to me.

Questions regarding Email Marketing and Campaign Management

Hi,
i am facing some problem is using Email marketing and campaign module of CRM On Demand. Need help in solving few queries.
1. I am trying to create the email template and save it for future purpose. I am using fields data column to make email personalize automatically. Problem i am facing is when ever i am opening this template for using it again for another campaign these dynamix fields doesn't come. ONlyu the static text xomes.
2. Second, how can i get the status of email delivered, read etc.
3. And in last, what ever email i am sending, how can i attach them with the receipient (Contact) record.
Nisman

1 - ?
2 - email receipt status is automatic by Email marketing. You should see it in the Campaign Detail - section Recipients
3 - Campaign Detail - section Recipients > You can insert Contacts manually or via Data Import or via Segmentation Wizard.
Good Luck

Firefox doesn't display text properly on pages created with email marketing tool (Constant Contact).

Pages that are built with Constant Contact email marketing application don't display correctly. Different sections of text, usually a paragraph or list group, are readable but "shaded out." This is happening on Mac and Windows platforms.
The pages are built using standard HTML tags and the problem doesn't appear with other browsers.

Can you post a link to one or more of such pages?
* "Clear the Cache": Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Interactive PDF / Email marketing

I have a 20 page newsletter that I'm sending out through an eblast. I have several paragraphs in the eblast summarizing exciting points in the newsletter. What I'm trying to do is where it says "read more on page 14" in the eblast, have a link that takes the viewer directly to page 20 instead of just opening the generic PDF. I'm also trying to make it so in the PDF version where it says "story continued on page 4" the reader can click that and it will take them to page 4 instead of having to scroll through the newsletter manually. Our newsletters are hosted on our website so we usually link to the website like: www.website.org/newsletters/fall2009 and the newsletter opens from there.
Does anyone know how to make this happen? I've never done it before and haven't worked with this type of PDF/email marketing so I'm at a loss. If you have any suggestions please send links to detailed instructions and be detailed so I can figure it out!

You will have to set up bookmarks and links to those bookmarks. Several folks should be around tomorrow who are good at this type of action, so please be patient.

Png or jpg not displaying in BC email marketing

I'm dropping both pngs and jpgs into BC's email marketing tool. For some reason, they display correctly in BC, but when I send a test email out to myself, the images do not display. Help!

Spaces and funny characters in file names on the web is basically something to NOT do.
A few browsers, coding solutions, API work, Email clients can all be effected by this and cause rendering issues. Just stick to the lower case, no spaces or character rule on file names.
Also avoid scaling the images in the editor - May look good and may come out in some email clients but some like Outlook will keep the image size as its natural size and emails will come out not as you expect because of this.

Email Marketing, Mail Merge, Segmentation wizard documentation

Hello folks,
Pls. anyone knows where I can get any documentation on all or any of the 3 subjects above ? I tried metalink unsucessfully...
Txs. for any hints.
Antonio

None of these need any configuration.
Email Marketing - Once you have your EMOD agreement signed with oracle, your sys admin will be able to set up individual Email marketing admins and from there you will be able to design your email campaigns
Mail Merge and Segmentation Wizard - this is a word/Excel document with Web services built in that will perform the functions. You can get it from the Metalink - you click on Knowledge and search for them.

EMail Marketing Question

Hello,
As a first-time user/admin of email marketing On Demand, I wanted to pose a question for the group.
It's apparent that you can only load "Contacts" as recipients of email campaigns, but what if you wanted to load "Leads" instead? I realize that Segmentation Wizard is the quick answer, but let me explain further.
Our organization attends a lot of trade shows, and in advance, we receive lists to which we can send pre-conference emails to a large pool of contacts/leads we've never been in contact with. Given the fact they're unqualified, I consider them a "lead."
However, there's no single field value to which I'd filter these leads by in Segmentation wizard. Essentially the easiest thing to do was import a list of recipients to a campaign. However, as I mentioned earlier, this isn't possible because they have to be contacts (our organization doesn't consider someone a contact until they're qualified in order to cut down on bad names being converted/added to the system).
Are there any best practices out there for helping me solve the issue about how to upload large numbers of leads who don't share a common segment (other than they are attending the same conference)?
Thank You!

I think Oracle doesn't look at it the same way you do. We're in a similar position. We would add new Leads, then create the Contacts and Accounts when we converted to Opportunites. Contacts did not play a significant role for us. (Our contacts and leads have a 1-to-1 relationship as a practical matter.)
So, I guess I would ask you how you're adding the new names (as Leads). If you're importing them, just import them as Contacts first. If you give them an External Unique ID, you can easily add associate them when you import them as Leads.
It's not ideal, but I have found a different solution without using the Contacts.

Tip - delete any email address code in the Insert email link prior to use!

I have been using the email link for a while now. I know its not secure, but in certain cases it can be used - I think.
Today I found a strange problem.
I have a recordset with lots of email addresses in it which are shown on an encrypted password and userlevel protected page.
The idea is to allow users with fully authorised access to the page to be able to email the other users by clicking on a link and opening their email client.
The email addresses are displayed as follows on the page:
<td>Email address:</td>
<td><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></td>
So after highlighting and copying the php code, I click on the insert email link in the insert menu.
The insert panel comes up with some code in the email link field without me paying any attention to it.
I paste my code into the text part of the link panel.
It comes up with the following code:
<td><a href="mailto:<?php echo $row_joinupset['mail']; ?>"><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></a></td>
Note that thre are now two different recordsets in the email address.These recordsets do exist on the page, but I did not insert the $row_joinupset['mail'] into the code - Dreamweaver did it.
Checking further, I find that earlier on the page I had created an email link by the same method using the joinupset recordset. The insert Email Link panel had not cleared the old email address from it's cache, so all the email adresses after the first one pointed to the same email address.
Because the page showed the correct email address, I did not notice until I tested my code, and found that every one called up the first email address.
I do not know if this is a bug in Dreamweaver, or why it happens, but it does.
Tip - delete any code in the email adress field of the insert panel prior to inserting the correct email address code.

I have gone though this process yesterday and worked for me.
I would suggest you to have following things handy before calling Apple
1. Serial number of apple device which is associated with ur apple id
2. At least one answer to your old security questions
3. And you should be logged on to my account page of apple Id so that when customer care demands generation of 4 digit code you can do it.
This complete process is very simple but may take some time but apple guy was very helpful in my case.
Also remember the answers to the security questions are case sensitive.
Good luck

Is Apple's email marketing database corrupted?

Hi..
I am pleased to receive emailed marketing from:
[email protected]
However, it is being sent to the wrong address, and the system for changing it does not work!
At the bottom of every email message it says:
+"If you would prefer not to receive future email from Apple, or if you've changed your email address, click here."+
When I do, an //insideapple.apple.com/updateacct/ web page tells me:
+"The address at which you've chosen to receive product news and other commercial messages from Apple is: [email protected]"+
The web page also says:
+"Send email to me at a different address"+
and if I click on this link it forwards me to //myinfo.apple.com/
where I can log in and see that the email address at which I have asked to be contacted is: [email protected]
Note the difference!
However, Apple marketing emails are sent to [email protected]
There is no obvious way of changing this. Is the email marketing database broken?
Needless to say that filling in web forms pointing out the above problem produces no response.
Can anyone please help? Apple's email marketing database is NOT using the information held in //myinfo.apple.com/, despite what it says on the bottom of each email. Where can the email marketing database be changed?
Cheers...

Thanks for the effort, Dave.
I have been through the process of changing my email addresss on myinfo.apple.com, and then changing it back to the correct address, several times, but to no avail.
//insideapple.apple.com/updateacct/ never waivers in its determination to deliver emails to the wrong address. And just by (bad) luck, Apple Marketing have just now delivered another email to the wrong address, confirming that the "solution" published by Apple, does not work.
Neither do they respond to completed web forms pointing out this problem.
It is, of course, illegal for a Company to fail provide the means whereby a member of the public can unsubscribe or change email addresses.
No Cheers.

Email Marketing Templates - Other than BC

Hello, I was wondering if I can use email newsletter templates, other than the ones in Business Catalyst, for my email marketing templates? For example, if I purchase templates from another site, can I use them and modify them in Business Catalyst? I'd like to send them out through BC for the tracking features.
It appears the ones purchased from other sites are html so wouldn't those work? I found somewhere in the BC literature that you had to be a Premium Partner to upload and save new templates; is that true?
Thank you,
Annette

Hi Annette,
This is correct as premium partners have access to switch templates.
- http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/877/cpsid_87780.html?bc-partner#main_Creating_your_own_Ne wsletters_Templates
The workaround is to use the blank option and paste your custom template in the campaign content section.
Kind regards,
-Sidney

How do I trigger an email marketing campaign each time a customer orders?

I want to trigger an email campaign to be sent X days after a customer places an order, each time he/she places an order. Specifically this would be a request for the customer to review the product(s) he/she purchased. I can't seem to find a way to trigger this based on the order date. Please help! Thanks!

Hi Liam,
Thanks for the response. I should clarify my initial question. There are two groups of purchasers that I would like to target with different email marketing campaigns: First time purchasers and, (ii) Repeat purchasers. Ideally the system would be able to distinguish between these two groups during the checkout process so that the correct email campaign could be triggered. I thought about basing it on whether the purchaser was logged in or not (where 'logged in = repeat purchaser'), but our site asks visitors to register very early in the process, so conceivably, a logged in user may very likely be a first time purchaser.
The more I think about it, the more it looks like I will need to manual email marketing list segmentation and management.
I sincerely appreciate any ideas you might have.
Thanks again!
Tim Rayl

Ive created a document into Pages which I want to upload into MailChimp for a email marketing campaign. However, Mailchimp seems to dislike the document. Any ideas?!

I've created a document in Pages which I want to use as an upload in a email marketing campaign I'm running through Mailchimp. Mailchimp doesn't seem to like the Pages document and won't upload. Any ideas?!

When you contacted the folks at mailchimp what did they have to say?
