E-Newsletter Services
Whether you are just considering starting an email newsletter, or you've been using conventional newsletters for years, Actis eMarketing can provide you with the tools and services you need to make your e-newsletter program successful. We can assist you with every aspect of the program, from concept and design, to creation and writing, to ongoing management, emailing, and tracking. Subscriber additions and deletions are fully automated, insuring that your list will always be 100% opt-in.

Program Design — Our knowledgeable staff will sit down with you to determine your vision of what the program should accomplish. We will then work with you to design an e-newsletter program to accomplish your goals and objectives. You may already have a list of email addresses from previous customers, or you may need to rent a targeted, opt-in list to start out. Either way, Actis can design a program that will let you start using e-mail newsletters as a new profit center.

Creation of the Newsletter — This process varies for each customer as it can involve newsletter design, layout, HTML, and if desired, writing of the actual copy. An Actis copywriter can gather information and research your company and/or industry to provide content for your newsletter. Suggestions from any member of your company for the content of the newsletter are encouraged. You may also create your own newsletter content and Actis can provide the supporting services. Text and AOL versions are required and included in our standard pricing. HTML versions are optional, but recommended because of their higher response rates.

Delivery and Tracking — Delivery can include text, HTML, and AOL versions of the newsletter. Most email software will accept one of these versions. If you have an existing house file, Actis will convert the file to be compatible with the delivery and tracking software. The newsletters will then be delivered to your customers and the click-through rates tracked to see how much traffic the newsletter is driving to your web site. The tracking program will also track successful and unsuccessful deliveries.

Analysis and Reporting — By tracking click-throughs from various links and the resulting actions, Actis can help you adjust your campaigns to be increasingly effective. Adjustments may be needed in the newsletter itself, or in the landing pages of the website.

Privacy
If you already have a house file of email addresses, or as you build your file, you can rest assured that Actis will maintain the confidentiality of your list. Your list will only be used for your campaigns. All client-provided lists must be opt-in, as we do not condone spamming in any manner.
