Overview of Opt-In Process
|
Notes regarding the subscription process: When a users fills in the form to subscribe, they are emailed a confirmation in which they must click a link to complete the subscription process. An example message is:
To complete your registration, you must confirm your email address by clicking the link below:
http://www.yourdomain.com/members.asp?Task=CIN&ID1=4&ID2=2175322
Note: If the link is wrapped onto the next line, be sure to copy the entire link into your browsers address bar.
The subscriber must then click this link to complete the subscription process. They are then emailed the message specified under "Default Opt In Message Sent By Email (Sent after successfully subscribing)" and the message specified under "Default Opt In Message HTML (Displayed after successfully subscribing)" is displayed on the screen.
This approach prevents users from signing up others maliciously.
This message is used when you import subscribers and email them an invitation asking them to join your newsletter. These subscribers are not opted in until they click the link to accept the invitation.

Optional Demographic Parameters |
Optional Demographic Parameters: eNewsletter Pro is capable of collecting demographic information about users. The administrator can then use this information to create advanced queries to send targeted emails to specific demographics. The fields you collect can be either text boxes with any value or Drop-Down menus with a fixed list of choices. If the value is left empty, a text box is created and all values are acceptable.
To create a drop-down list of fixed choices, enter multiple values separated by double commas. The double-comma is necessary so that commas can be used. For example, to create the following sample drop-down menu for Salary Ranges you would enter the values shown below:
Salary Range:
To create a multi-select list box, separate each value by a triple comma. For example, value1,,,value2,,,value3
To set a specific value to the default, surround the value by square brackets. For example: value1,,,[value2],,,value3
Private -- Check the private box if the demographic field should not be displayed to subscribers. They will not be able to view or edit any field listed as private.
Allow users to edit demographic data -- Check this option if you will allow members to edit the optional parameters via the members page. If you are storing information in these fields that should not be visible to your subscribers then do not check this field.
Data Type: Data types supported are Text, Date Fields, Integers and Real Numbers. Dates can be used in order to run date comparisons. Integers are numbers without decimals such as ages. Real numbers include decimals.
Header/Footer/Style Sheet for Members Page |
Cascading Style Sheet -- Enter the URL of a cascading style sheet to use on members.asp.
Header/Footer -- Enter HTML for the header and footer that will appear on the members page. This page will be displayed when members opt in/out or update their subscriptions. Do not use any <BODY>, <HTML>, or <HEAD> tags.
Conversion Tracking Enabled -- Choose this option to turn on ROI/Conversion tracking. This allows you to tag a particular transaction such as a sales confirmation page, or lead form so that you can track how many conversions resulted from the newsletter. By enabling this option eNewsletter Pro will then write a cookie on each click in order to track the conversion. For this option to work you must use the click tracking option within the newsletter so that the click can be tracked and the cookie can be written.
Conversion Tracking Code -- Copy and paste the code onto the confirmation page of the form you wish to track conversions. You must modify these parameters:
ID: This is the unique identifier for the transaction. This can be any text variable up to 25 characters.
Type: Enter a descriptive type for the transaction. For example, Sale or Lead, etc.
Amount: If each transaction is a sale and has a dollar amount, you can pass the amount in order to track the total value of all conversions. This must be passed as anumber.

<img border="0" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/enewsletterpro/roi.aspx?SiteID=1&ID=12345&Type=Sale&Amount=199.00" width="1" height="1">
