Can anyone tell me how to go about adding style to an email? Right now I'm sending my emails through outlook but would really like something with a wow factor to send people inquiring about information or for bridal leads. Is there a program that will create such a thing or a way to build something like that?

I would like to have images embedded. Can anyone help please?

Me too!! I was thinking about this recenntly as my emails look too plain. I want to embed a logo and a watermarked backgroud pic but cant seem to get it to work.

Someone out there has to be doing this - how do we do it???

constant contact...they have templates as well as a way to insert your own html template

you could build a WYSIWYG html page in Mozilla.

Constant contact is free with 50 subscribers and then pretty inexpensive for more subscribers

you can track who looks at the emails and who is clicking through and run different emails to diffferent groups

I JUST read something about this yesterday...now lets see if my brain will process the data. I'll get back to you because it was really cooL!

If i'm reading their site right, it looks like this is great for mass email campaigns.

I'm looking for a way to just dress up the emails we send out from the studio.

Mark,

Many people use their work email, and many companies block images & html messages - we prefer to use a "dressed up" email signature: the font colors are different, and a thumbnail image of our logo is embedded. I'll shoot you an email so you can see what I'm talking about.

We do use constant contact for newsletters.

Best,

Enna

I've been using MailChimp for my clients for 4 years now and highly recommend them, if you need help, pm me

Although it's geared (currently) to family related newsletters... there's one or two templates that could be good for photogs newsletters, or 'images are online' announcements. the super easy to use layout and web2.0 feel is definitely worth a look!

I agree with everyone that nicely degrading emails are the way to go... ones using CSS and nothing else... but SO many major web companies are formatting heavily with images lately (goddady, amazon and ebay are the first ones coming to mind)... if you need to keep up, this may be an EASY, free way to do it

A friend told me about letterpop.com last week, so i tried it out and wasn't impressed at all. Basically you drop some images into there templates along with some text and you add in your email addresses, so it's easy. The part I don't like is they don't send it as an email, they email out a link to see it. Most likely nobody is going to click on it, they'll just delete it and everything else they get from you because they think you're a spammer.

I just really want a way to embed a logo and a few images into an email in the places I want them to be. I'm checking out mailchimp.com right now....
