I am trying to send an email message to a bunch of people that signed up. It won’t let me send my email message. It keeps coming up with missing or malinformed recipients. How do I fix this and make sure it sends? I already put spaces in b/n each email address and tried semi colon’s and checked it over. Help is needed.
Try sending smaller amounts. It might have the look of spam. Semi colon’s don’t work, just comas. No spaces, just comas.

Is email your company’s friend or foe? It depends on how you use it, how important new customers are to you, and how much you value existing customer relations.
I was going to order a bunch of custom embroidered polo shirts for our team to wear at an industry event. I went to a well-known company, one I had ordered from in the past, and using a form on their web site I sent them the artwork for a free estimate of the process and the cost.
Nothing happened. There was no confirmation message and no message saying that the email had bounced. I forgot about it. Back in 1997 I might have called to ask if they received the email. Today we all simply assume that if it doesn’t bounce back within a few hours – it was received.
It was four days later that I received the company’s email newsletter promoting their products and telling me that there are just three more days to take advantage of a special sale.
I must say that was maddening. They had obviously received my request for a quote – since opting in to their email announcements was part of the process. And the email address their newsletter was sent to was the same one I used when registering on their web site. An address used sparingly.
So how likely am I to do business with them?
If they had responded to my submission saying that they would get right on it and send me the quote within the next – whatever period of time – and then delivered on that promise, I would have been pleased. That is what I expected.
I expected to hear from them acknowledging that my potential business was important and that they were paying attention.
Last summer I bought a small sailcloth duffle bag, the size for taking to the beach or as a carryon on the plane. The sailcloth is resilient and as it wears it will take on a persona of its own – like your favorite jeans or loafers.
I bought it because I saw it on a local infomercial where we were vacationing – a retailers in the area piece. The company is a third or forth generation family business. I have interviewed for publication over 100 family business owners – so I thought, hey maybe these people will talk to me. I’ll get a great story and they’ll get some PR.
The company’s web site was a first generation looking ecommerce web site. There was a single contact email, you know info@ so I had to send “To Whom It May Concern” sort of message.
I told them how much I loved the duffle and how pleased I was to learn of their family business and could we talk? I sent a link to 50 or so business owner stories we had published without charge in the past. I wanted to make it clear that this was no a solicitation of any kind.
Nothing happened. I expected something. I was a new customer – maybe I would buy more stuff in the future. I was offering to tell their story. Instead nothing.
How do you think this makes me feel about the duffle bag I just bought? How many more duffle bags will I (or anyone I know) buy from them?
Common courtesy demands that you respect your customers if you expect them to do business with you in the future.
A couple of months ago I had a little software script installed on our web site. It probably took the software creator fifteen minutes to set it up. Inexplicably two weeks ago it quit working properly.
My detailed explanation and answers to their questions and all the other back and forth between the developer and myself had been done using their automated support ticket system.
Rather than start this process again I logged on to their support area and re-opened the previously closed support ticket.
Four days went by and nothing happened. I opened a new support ticket and briefly re-stated the problem referencing the previous support ticket – so I would not have to recreate the entire message again from scratch.
Two more days went by and a colleague of the developer contacted me to say that there was no record of the original support ticket.
It had been deleted, but the system did not tell me that when I re-opened it. Now I have to start the entire explanation process all over with a different person. This is maddening.
So, the problem has still not been solved. I expected better treatment from people I regularly spend money with. I “know” they received the messages because I was taken to a thank you page after sending the messages.
And during the three plus weeks (so far) that have gone by with no customer satisfaction I have received numerous solicitations for more of their products and services.
I am not naive. I know these sales emails were sent automatically on a schedule requiring little if any time on their part. Nevertheless some effort should have been made to make those of us waiting for service feel better about our situation.
Instead, even though I know it’s all automatic, I get daily reminders that they are more interested selling new stuff than they are servicing what they have already sold.
This is not a good business building technique if you ask me.
What do your customers think about you? Are you paying attention? Are you listening? Do you telegraph how much or how little you care about them and their business?
If you have the courage, ask your mother to use every form on your web site, contact you with service requests, and new business quotes, etc.
If you REALLY have courage have your mother ask one of her friends, someone important to her that you don’t know to test your email responsiveness.
You won’t have to wait long or invest any money to get the real opinions of real people.

I know how to send a text message to a cell phone via an email. How do I do the opposite: send an email to an email address via cell phone?
Thanks in advance
I don’t have web capabilities on my phone
The email addres usually known as six number. Take a try to send a text to cell phone via email, then look at the number of sender.
Use the known number to tex the email addres via cell phone.
We’ve to know that the number will be different among other email address, so you must know its(email) number first so that you can text it via cell phone..
Thanks,

Creating and sending a promotional email letter that receives the maximum response rate is at the heart of any successful online business. But what is a “responsive email”? How do you compose it? There are a few principles a responsive email letter is based on. If you follow them, you’ll never be at disadvantage:
The Subject line. The subject line is a presentation of your message. I would even say that it is the subject line determines whether the recipient will open your message or not. If you send a commercial letter, your main purpose is to have the recipient open your message. So, the subject line must to intrigue and rouse the people’s curiosity. Put some “tease” in your subject but do not reveal what your message is about completely. Teases should speak to the offer that the recipient is going to find inside the letter – but not too much – make them open it to find out for sure. A good tease may sound like: “Discover the new technique how to…”, or “The amazing inside secrets…”, or “Download the new improved version of… ” etc.
The salutation. Yes, a personalized message beginning with “Dear John,” is better. It looks more professional and makes a feel that you care about every prospect individually. A personalized message helps build credibility in relationship between you and your prospects. That’s why on your opt-in form you should ask your subscribers to provide their first name together with the email address.
The message body. We’ll examine two aspects here: content – what your message is about and presentation – in what manner you present the information.
Message content. This is where people often get confused. What to tell to the readers so they would want to buy from you? Tell them about the benefits of your product. Remember that people don’t care about you personally or your organization, they do want to know how they can benefit from your offer, how your offer can solve their problems or make their lives easier. That’s what they need.
A great idea that always works for your is a free bonus or special offer. You should give them something for free in addition to their purchase.
Typical offers may include:
Special Reports – you are simply promising them an instant access to some free content after their purchase.
Software Trials – if you are developing and promoting your own software programs, you could promise a free trial of the new version of your software, or an other software in the form of a download.
Discounts- you can offer discounts on particular goods when they become available, and the only way to gain access to these discounts is by purchasing your product.
Email mini-course – you can also offer people an email mini-course that will teach them something specific about their market, and will then allow you continue communicating with them in the future.
E-books – if you sell an e-book, you could offer it for free to your subscribers who purchase your product.
Tips and News – similar to the email mini-course. You are just promising to send them regular emails with useful content that helps make their lives easier.
Always end the body of the letter with clear instructions what action you want the reader to take. There must not be any ambiguity. The reader must exactly know what you want him to do now.
But don’t stop there. Add a “P.S.” and “P.P.S.” that persuade the reader to buy from you, repeat the offer and call-to-action.
Text presentation. You may have a lot to say about your product benefits and your offer. But the trick is to say it in a way that is easy to read, and clearly lays out the main aspects. People are busy and they don’t have much time to spend on one email. Keep in mind that people don’t read the message, they scan it. So, you have to structure your letter in a manner that all important information grabs the reader’s attention.
Don’t write in long sentences. Separate the text in paragraphs with 4-5 sentences in each paragraph. Use bullets to represent your offer benefits. Use underlining, bold and italics as ways to call attention to important elements but do it wisely.
The closing. It should always be done by the most senior person in your organization – preferably someone with a title. This is about credibility.
You should always remember that you can create several email messages and test one email approach versus another. Simply divide your list in two groups, and send the version A to one half, and the version B to the other. Then compare the results. What version is more responsive and what is not. You can then use the more successful version of you email letter for future communication with your prospects.
Take care of these aspects and your email marketing efforts will be rewarded!

I sent an email message through Yahoo. When I checked my inbox I got a message that there was a delivery failure of the message. I would like to resend it but am not sure how to do it? It is in my sent folder.
You`ll have to take the header off the one in your sent folder. Put the correct recipients email address. Then resend.
