Hi
I don't have an 'opt in' newsletter function on my site. Will do soon but just wondered if it was okay to email everyone that has ordered from me so far and ask if they would like to be on the email mailing list? I have some new stuff going on soon and wanted to let people know. If I run promotions etc it would be nice to let them know too.
I have a new Guestbook (thanks Daffs!) and wondered how you got people to sign it? Only a few people have signed it so far - looks a bit bare!
Any tips are most welcome.
Thanks
Chutney

I don't see that it would be a problem, just mentioned thta it is a one off email and unless they opt in then you won't email them again. One of the parenting forums sent out an email to that effect recently.

Thanks chell. I think I will do that. I am sure no-one will report me (I'm such a square!). And thanks for the guestbook!

Have you tried www.constantcontacts.com ?
I use them and you can put a box on your site for visitors to sign straight up and they go into your database immediately.
Then you can create your own newsletter/postacads et:.
You can add in everyone who buys from you and then when they all receive a newsletter from you they get the option to OPt Out.
It's really easy once you've done one !
