Here is how to send a blast email
The email blast work flow is comprised of three steps.
Step One: Create a Blast
Step one is comprised of 4 fields.
From email name: This is the name that shows up as the sender for your email blast. You should put a full name in this field, and not an email address. For example: "Jane Doe"
From/Reply-to Email Address: Select one of your DLCCWeb email accounts to be used as the email address from which this blast will be sent. All bounced messages, replies and out-of-office messages will be sent to this address.
Email Subject Line: Enter a subject line for your email blast. Many people decide to open or delete an email based on its subject line, so it is important to use a compelling message.
Your Message: Enter your HTML message in this space. Your email template, unsubscribe link, and disclaimer information, will automatically be applied to the content you enter in the following area. Use the WYSIWYG toolbar to insert images, links, and to format your text. Optionally, can access the raw HTML by clicking the "source" button in the WYSIWYG toolbar.
Step Two: Choose Recipients
Step Two is the query step, selecting what part of your supporter list to receive your email. You may either click the "Send this blast to entire list" button to sent to everyone in your support data base with a valid, non-bouncing email address, or select a predefined query from the drop down list.
Step Three: Preview and Send
Step Three is the last step before your email is sent. Here you should test your email, verify the supporter count of your query is correct, double check your subject and email content.
There is also a check box to indicate if you want this email added to your newsletter page.
Once you've verified and are satisfied with your email, clicking the "Submit email blast now!" button will send out your email to the selected supporters.
IMPORTANT: Once you click the "Submit email blast now!" you will NOT be able to edit your email. Please ensure you are completely satisfied with your email before submitting.
