Email Providers
As you create and send emails, it’s important to be aware of how your readers are receiving/viewing the messages. Outlook certainly displays an email differently than AOL.

Hop on the email marketing train
Hearing the term “old school” conjures up images of outdated trends, especially when it comes to describing online marketing tactics. However, there is one old school digital marketing practice that remains as powerful today, as the day the Internet became a commercial success.
It is called email marketing.
The tactic has evolved over the years to include automation and content marketing techniques that enhance the experience customers have when reading email newsletters.
For Google customer reviews, it is not simply about email marketing, it is about reminding your customers about Google’s customer review platform.
For YCL clients, I include a review section in their email template just for this reason. Ask and ask and ask again for reviews! Each time we email, we ask for reviews at all of your review sites. So when a client is thinking of you, we make it easy to do a review.

Why Do I Have to Give My Address to Send Emails?
This is blurb from Constant Contact explaining why an address is required on every email.“The anti-spam laws of many countries, such as the US CAN-SPAM Act, require that you include a physical address in your email campaigns. Telling your recipients where you’re located is one way to show them that the email is coming from a legitimate source.”
You can use a PO Box, a postal service address or something other than a street address. But some legitimate address is required.
Marketing
One of the worst things to hear from a client is “Oh, I didn’t know you did that!” So use your Marketing Calendar to ensure that you are covering all services/products on a regular basis. Keep those services “top of mind” for your clients. It’s easier and more profitable to expand a current client than to go out and get a new client.

Having an Inbox, Social and a Promotions tab is too much!! Sorting is supposed to help but it just mucks things up for me.
So turn the extras off.
In Gmail,
- Go to Settings
- Settings
- The Inbox tab
- In the Categories section,
- Un-check Social, Promotions, Updates, Forums
- At the bottom of the page, click the Save Changes button
Go back to your Inbox. There’s only 1!!!!
