More About  New Message Types

1.       Newsletter. This application is for publishing your newsletters.

 

 

Subject:

 It is important to be specific with the subject content. It is best to date the Newsletter and/ or give it a number. This will allow your customers easy access to archived newsletters.

Example:

Newsletter

·         Newsletter - Feb 2009

·         Newsletter - Jan 2009

Content:

This can be used to add content directly to your newsletter publication.

Attachments:

This is used to upload your newsletter from a saved file. The browse facility allows you to access and attach the newsletter files that you have completed and saved. Once the file is attached and loaded in the attachment box you need to submit the file for attachment.

 You can attach more than 1 newsletter if necessary. Once submitted the newsletter icon will appear next to your provider logo on all your customers home pages and an immediate email will be sent to all your customers.

PLEASE NOTE: It is best to upload a Microsoft Word or PDF file. Your customers can open the Newsletter attachment without saving the file first. HTML formats or zipped files will need to be saved by your customer before they can view it. If you are using Microsoft Publisher then you need to copy, paste and save the designed document into a word document.

2.       Promotion.

 Same steps as adding Newsletter (see above).

However it is important to check the calendar box if you want the promotion to be added automatically to Your Upcoming Events and Calendar.

Add to Calendar

Add to Calendar

If your sale goes on for more than 1 day then you need to add each day individually to the events calendar.

4.       Email.

This can be used as a magboxs short communication with your customers. It can also be used to copy standard bulk email communications that you send by conventional email and have them appear in magboxs  as an archived email communication. This allows your customer access to a record to your bulk email to read in their time.

 

5.       SMS.

If you send bulk sms messages then you should copy the message into magboxs  SMS messages to give your customers  another chance to read your message in their time. The message is also archived.
