Setting up Mailing Lists and Newsletters

If you want to keep in touch with your customers on a regular basis, then your website package can be set up to include a mailing list/newsletter facility.

Using your mailing list is straightforward and simply a question of getting used to the process. If your web package from Vector7 includes a mailing list facility we will send you the details of your login and password for your control panel.

Once you have logged into the control panel click 'mailing lists' under the email section.

We will set up a mailing list for you you will see it on this page, be aware that if you change the name of the mailing list then links to it may stop working.

To add/ remove email addresses
Alongside the name of the mailing list are a series of options, under 'edit list?' click 'now' to see all of the email addresses that are subscribed to the mailing list.

To manually add an email addresses yourself, simply type the email addresses into the large box, you can add more than one at once by putting them one email address per line.

Once the email address is added, click subscribe. You will then see the email addresses appear in the 'unconfirmed addresses' list below. Once the owner of that address has confirmed the subscription they will be moved to the 'subscribed' list.

To remove any email address from a mailing list, tick the 'delete' box by the relevant email address and then click unsubscribe button.

To compose an email
In your mailing lists control panel click 'email subscribers' to compose and send an email to send to all addresses in the subscribers list.

From here you can select a sending and returning email address for the email you send. You can write the email, add what images you wish, edit the typeface and colours using the options.

Once you are happy with the email, click 'send message now', the email will be sent to all email addresses that are listed.

Confirmation email to subscribers
Please check the email that gets sent to people when they subscribe and alter if you wish - this can be done in the edit confirmation email section. The wording is very generic and should be made more personal and to reflect you and your business.
