I want too send a email to my clients wishing them a happy christmas etc and plugging a couple of new products

I don't want the standard text email, i was thinking a nice advert, info, links back to my website

I made a advert in photoshop, all good and well, inserted into email template added picture as a hyper-link and sent it to myself and a couple of other accounts I have, via a mail merge in my ACT! database

emails arrived and picture was not there, a box was, the hyper-link was worked


so who knows how the big guys do it, email with pictures and text and links back to there site  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Use MailChimp or something similar to handle it, the way you are doing it is the quickest way to get your e-mail address black listed and into spam

even though they are been sent to existing clients, who have received emails previously from us

is it not best to receive a email from a known email than mailchimp.com address  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

might just send them a christmas card instead, seems bloody easier  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis
