Latest Velocity Updates

We have been busy working on backend updates and changes. Here are some of our cent updates that we have made.

The API now supports json output mode which will return the result of the API call in json format. For details in the API tab read “Basic API Usage Guide”

We have also added for email marketing a new sending speed called Sloth which is slower than snail. This speed sends on average of 120 emails per hour using up to two connections/threads at a time.

New message editor has been rolled out to all users. Easier now to edit the source code of the message and takes advantage of the space on the screen.

Gearing Up for the Super Bowl

Football

Yes, February is approaching and that means another crazy month for marketers. Every February we are thrown into the whirl of not just celebrating the Hallmark holiday of Valentine’s Day, but also watching America’s favorite sport, football. With football pools underway, many cannot wait to watch the approaching Super Bowl. Every year, businesses pay tons of money to put ads on TV during the famous game. But as a business, something to think about is your other outlets of marketing. Think of marketing on social media outlets with hashtags. For example, if you are looking to market certain tweets or Facebook posts during the Super Bowl, then use hashtags such as #superbowlXLIX, #SBXLIX or you can even use hashtags for the teams. You can’t forget about the new ways of marketing and younger generations using these outlets.

If you are looking for a platform or software that include social media integration, try out our software. By contacting our sales team you can try a demo before purchasing to see all that we have to offer.

Achieving Better Delivery

email comp

We know the importance of delivery and we want to help our customers achieve a better delivery.  In this post we want to talk about the different sending speed options that we offer with our software.  Not all sending speeds are the same, which means each list needs to have its own sending speed.  By sending just at default, sometime things get sent too quickly which can be a bad thing.  For more information, take a look at our FAQ section or you can contact your sales rep to get more advice on sending speeds.

Welcome, 2015!

Email-marketing-1

New Year, new marketing?  This may be a question your company keeps pondering, and if so, think about emailing.  Traditional marketing seems to have made its way out and the new “in” form of marketing is social media and email.  This can yield a faster turn around for customers to buy or visit your business.  The better aspect of email marketing, or new marketing, versus traditional is the quick call-to-action.  People get your brochures, sales, promotions and updates all in their news feeds and in-boxes. With the proper subject line, personalization and content, you can create a great brand awareness.  Make a great first impression this new year, and start your company on the right foot.

Call our sales team today to see what we can offer your company.

 

 

Get Better Traffic with SEO

Most of the time search engine optimization (SEO) can be misunderstood.  However, it should not go without notice the importance of making your website search engine friendly.  It makes the difference of your business appearing on page one and two versus 36.  By having your website checked for search engine content and proper tags, you can appear to potential clients right away searching in your industry.  Google on a regular basis changes their SEO guidelines so it is equally important to stay on top of the latest SEO revisions.

If you are not sure about SEO or if your website is not up to par with SEO, let us know.  We can help and get you more traffic with the use of proper optimization tools.  Give us a call and we can get you started on something to get your business more recognition.
