Effective Email Marketing
Email and subscription-based mailing lists have become an important feature for many web sites. Whether you are notifying your customers of new products, sending requested newsletters to your subscribers, or simply delivering an email message such as greeting to a group of friends, mailing lists offer a quick and easy way of communicating.
City & District's SmarterMail mailing list is a basic, yet surprisingly flexible, tool for sending emails utilizing subscription-based mailing lists. It provides everything you need for managing subscription-based mailing lists, writing email messages and sending them over the Internet. In fact, you can maintain a number of separate subscription-based mailing lists, for different audiences and needs.
Mailing lists must be enabled through your City & District (Plesk) control panel. Please login and navigate to the Email drop down menu and click on Mailing Lists and enable this in your account. Set the number of mailing lists you wish to use and click on save.
