Are you missing a Golden Opportunity to extend your Marketing Reach by adding social widgets to your footer?

MarketingSherpa's Email Marketing Benchmark Report 2010 has reported a massive increase in inquiries for social sharing features, which allow subscribers to post email content to their social networks.

As an immediate response, we here at GraphicMail are now giving you the option to have your subscribers share email content through social widgets which you can now place in your footer.

It’s easy, it’s simple and here’s how to do it:

In your Graphicmail Account, click into >> Advanced Mode >> Setup and Options  >> Header/Footer settings >> Set the ‘General Settings’ (at the top) to “Advanced Settings “Click “Email Footer” to expand it. Select “Add social media links on all emails” and you’re done. It’s as simple as that !

For now, there are the 6 major social sharing networks. As GraphicMail designer, Ruan Benade says : "We have limited ourselves to these six major networks, as it is not advisable to clutter your email design with too many social sharing buttons, the buttons we have chosen represents the five most popular social networks at present." As the social networking landscape is a constantly changing, we expect to add a few more in the future!
Have your subscribers share your newsletter on Facebook, Twitter, DiggIt, MySpace, Delicious and Google Bookmarks.

New GraphicMail Subscription form for Joomla users!


Listen up all you Joomla users! Using a new Joomla extension you can now add a signup form for your GraphicMail mailing list – it’s easy and it’s quick!
The VERY BEST way for you to gather new subscribers is through a Subscription Form on your site - especially since this method supports opt-in email marketing, an approach that GraphicMail strongly advises

After you have completed the installation, you will be asked for your Login information; the next step prompts you to select the mailing list that you want your users to subscribe to and then it is only takes a few

seconds to add the extension to your site. The whole process is speedy and should take less than 5 minutes from beginning to end – and there is no file editing required…….. absolutely everything can be done via the Joomla Setting!

Keep watching this space for more open source Plug Ins from the GraphicMail Lab!
