Have you wanted to start an email campaign, but just haven’t found the time to get started? Or maybe you want to send out a newsletter, but just can’t get it off the ground? Maybe you’re not sure how to get your message to the right group, or maybe there’s just not enough time to generate consistent content. These are challenges we’ve been working on while trying to get our monthly updates under control. Let us show you what we did and what we learned while doing it.
We will take you through DesignHammer’s recent, two part, newsletter creation process from start to finish. First, we’ll share ideas for simple, sustainable, and scalable processes for content generation. Then, we will give a brief overview of email marketing tools currently in the marketplace. Finally, we’ll discuss our experience using MailChimp. This will include some of MailChimp’s technical features, which can aid in reaching your desired audience.
