Express Email Marketing® customers: Upload your existing customer base without another opt-in

WebDevel Team — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 22:38:00 GMT

You wanted it; now you’ve got it! We’ve just launched a big product enhancement that lets you upload your existing customer base into Express Email Marketing without forcing customers to re-opt-in. Now you can import your list (already in your database and opted-in to your marketing offers) simply by agreeing to three conditions within Express Email Marketing (1- I am a known sender, 2-I accept the bounce limit, 3-I will not send Spam). Here's how it works:

Agree to the conditions and import a new list.
New subscribers are added as "Unverified."
Send a campaign to the new list. Mail sent to "Unverified" subscribers will be delivered in batches over a 48-hour period. If you receive an excessive amount of bounces, we suspend delivery.
When the recipients open their email, status will be set to "Active" and bounce rules will no longer apply.
In the Campaign Schedule page, customers are shown a count of subscribers who receive mail immediately (Active) vs. those where delivery is staggered over several hours (Unverified).
All bounces are reported in the campaign bounce report.

Vlogging is here! Record, encode and upload video files to your blog

WebDevel Team — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 05:43:00 GMT

Quick Blogcast users, now you can video blog – vlog – straight from your Quick Blogcast account! We make it easy to record, edit, compress, upload and post your videos seamlessly in one application… it’s easy. Best of all, your videos are viewable on nearly any PC.

All paid versions of Quick Blogcast have this feature – located under Manage Entries > Add Video.

All the encoding occurs on your own system – eliminating long upload times and leaving file size and quality options up to you.

But that’s not all! You can also add photos to your entries from your Photobucket account! To get started, enter your Photobucket feed URL to your Quick Blogcast account and begin adding Photobucket images to your Quick Blogcast entries. It's that easy! Simply log in to your Quick Blogcast account and select "Services" from the "Manage Blog" header.

You’ve seen it – now here’s how to fix it…

WebDevel Team — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 00:39:00 GMT

Does this happen on your Web site? Customers go through your shopping cart and as they’re ready to check out, they’re sent to a page to make their PayPal payment. Suddenly they see "Warning – There are secure and un-secure items on the page you requested. Do you want to continue?"

In most cases, the only un-secure item is an image you’ve added to the page… but your customers don’t know that. Here’s how to avoid that message and keep customers from running scared:

When linking to a photo/image contained in your Online Photo Filer account, you now have the option to also grab a secure (SSL) link to that image. It’s the perfect solution when you need to host an image (such as a PayPal logo) somewhere in your checkout process. Do this and all the content will display as secure... and your customers will continue and complete the checkout process.
