I own a small business and want to send an email newsletter to my 400+ customer base. How do I do so?

Hi Mitch,





I recently had to promote a function through mass emails, and it was not fun!





I found that Yahoo considered I was spamming if I sent more than 300 emails at a time. They wanted me to have an hour space between the first 300, and the next lot of emails.





The process using my basic yahoo address was also very slow.





I know there is Yahoo Groups which may be more suited to mass emailing, but I am not sure how it works.





You also need to test it several times, to make sure it comes out looking how you would expect it to at the other end.





In the end I used my web host to send the emails, they looked professional and as a bonus they sent me a read receipt, or deleted without being read, without the receiver being aware.





Newsletters are a Great Idea for a small business. Don't go overboard in your first one, and spend the rest of the year trying to live up to it.





I suggest you keep it short %26amp; sweet, with lots of contact details.





I send a 1 page monthly newsletter, it subtly reminds people to pay bills, make appointments, and I also forward it to potentially new clients, to show them what sort of support I provide.

1) Create an email account you will send from, for example: ACME_QTRLY_NEWSLETTER@yahoo.com





2) Compile a list of all the recipients and enter them as contacts.





3) Send the email newsletter to yourself in the TO: line and everyone else in the BCC: line so you dont give away their addresses.








Good luck!
Reply:you can use yahoo mail and going to compose then type in their email and click send.
Reply:you can download a business contact manager for free. You can send a fan out email to your contacts or accounts. It's an outlook product so it will mesh well with our email.
Reply:Depending on your budget, and the payoff from sending the newsletter, DataSystemsOnline might be a solution for you. They will provide you with a complete on-line database and your newsletter can be sent automatically to all active subscribers.
Reply:Hi. You can actually get those pirated mass mailing email software. This software will get all the addresses in a text file or a .csv file and embbed it to your template and send out the email. By doing so..every customer will receive an email with their name on it. It will look like you address it to them only but actually u are mass sending it out. I can't recall the name of the software at this moment but you can search for mass mailing software. Its better than using yahoo or other personal email.
