Outboxed Newsletter
Newsletter Index
 
 
Are you keeping warm? At OUTBOXED we’ve been working feverishly through this winter chill! In this month’s newsletter we have a great added extra that we hope will help you grow your database. We provide some clarification regarding design time allocation and as always, we try to inspire you with some newsletter topic ideas and concepts for the upcoming months.
 
 
Expand your database with our FREE* added extra!
------------------
We believe that it’s not enough to merely create amazing designs to keep your existing client base coming back for more. We want to help you grow your database!

In that spirit we’re rolling out a free* service to you, starting this month: An online newsletter signup form, with added ways to point people in its direction.
 
 

We’ll provide you with the following:
(We're using our implementation for De Toren Private Cellar as our working example)

 
 
Subscription Form:
A newsletter signup form that will capture the information directly to your database.
 
 
 
Shortlink:
Direct people in the form’s direction via your website, social media, print media etc.
 
 
 
QR Code:
A QR code that you can incorporate into your print or other media.
 
 
 
Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? As this functionality takes some time to set up, we’ll be approaching the roll-out on a first come, first serve basis. Contact us today to be sure you’re one of the first to take advantage of this great opportunity!

* This free service is available to new and existing OUTBOXED™ clients only.

 
 
 
Email design time allocation
------------------
There seems to be some confusion as to what our time per email design allocation is. We’d like to take this opportunity and clarify;

We allow 3 versions per email design:
  • V1 = New email design (Max 1½ hour design time allocated + 1 FREE standard 123rf stock image)
  • V2 = Minor Edits (Max 30 min)
  • V3 = Small edits like spelling and grammar. No new content etc. (Max 15 min)

Your 1st draft (V1) shall be ready within 48 hours (once we’ve received ALL relevant info that should be included in the new email). A further 24 hours then for V2 and again for V3. If we need to spend more time on your email design we are happy to do so at an hourly rate of R750 (excl 14% VAT).

Should you have any questions in this regard, please ask your account administrator and they’ll be happy to assist.
