| What
is the best way to galvanize your e-business? By setting
up a powerful website attractive to the public at large. Right. Or
you might also try developing reliable ways and means to execute safe transactions
online. Right again. There is another high-tech option,
however, which might come as a surprise to many. It has to
do with e-mail technology.
We’re talking about the same
e-mail that was widely used before the advent of the World Wide Web, multimedia
applications, MP3, etc. Obviously, the new e-mail generation will rise
to new heights by incorporating all the positive features of its earlier
prototypes. But what really sets the new generation of e-mail technology
apart from its predecessors is the use of an automated system designed
to create and distribute e-mail messages.
InternetSoft’s customized
e-mail software is the critical factor that can make or break your online
business venture. It allows you to communicate and make quick replies to
all customers and potential clients.
InternetSoft’s direct
online marketing research has show that banners and active buttons on Internet
websites are insufficient means for generating customer responses.
Personalized e-mail messages, however, have been shown to be the optimal
approach to marketing online products. E-mail messaging can significantly
outperform traditional banner advertising strategies.
Since the symptoms
and methods for treating downturns in e-commerce are now fully understood,
why should there be a problem in the first place? There is
a simple reason. The average cost of developing, creating and sending one
personalized e-mail letter manually is well over $4. This makes it
necessary to automate the process. Message filtering is the first
thing that needs to be automated. Next, personalized messages
designed under specific templates should also be sent out on an automatic
basis. With these purposes in mind, Vista developed
two e-mail systems in 1997,
Netmail
and MailList
Express. NetMail
scans e-mail texts, then filters and processes them according to key words.
After a letter is identified NetMail
selects whether to answer using one of various standardized replies entered
in the database, or to forward the letter for processing by someone in
another department.
InternetSoft released
the new version of its popular
MailList
Express program (former version name NetMail Merge). This program
allows users to write personalized letters using message templates. Thus,
if you have a client database you can create a single letter template and
send personalized messages to a whole list of customers. In this
way all addressees will receive letters intended for them only. After
a distribution list has been made up you can go back to it at a later time.
The program is foolproof and easy to use.
The program can also be used
to perform a number of other tasks. NetMail can manage multiple smtp
mail accounts. The new version offers powerful and convenient distribution
list filtering options as well as preliminary verification capabilities
designed to filter out invalid or non-current addresses.
Thus, if you have a list of deleted addresses or other field values to
be entered, such as company names, all you have to do is press the filter
key and these addressees will be removed from the mailing list.
The program contains a built-in
algorithm to check whether addresses are correct and current. The
program runs on the same basis as the smtp-server. It connect with
the server to check whether or not any given address on the sever exists.
Invalid e-mails can be deleted from the mail list. By deleting invalid
addresses from your mailing list you are reducing network traffic and the
channel load of your ISP, while also facilitating current and future distributions.
MailList
Express is supplied on a shareware basis, which means that
you are free to download and test out the program before registering it.
This new software will
help your company cut its costs dramatically. The sooner your business
is equipped with these new high-tech tools, the sooner you will start to
see greatly enhanced performance when it comes to servicing all in-house
and online consumer requests. This is InternetSoft’s
formula for success in the ongoing struggle to expand customer bases and
sharpen your company’s competitive edge. The bottom line, though,
is this: your company can either choose to take up the challenge and arm
itself with state-of-the-art Internet technology today, or lag behind and
risk being sidelined in the intensely competitive world of e-commerce tomorrow. |
