D$E Contest: enews

Emailing customers info about great food and services from around the ZCoB has been happening for a while. The IT department likes to call it enews, and we’ve helped make it a better way to share the Zingerman’s experience by email

When emailing a large group at once, ‘Cobbers were spending a lot of time creating and sending a message, and more time maintaining a list of recipients. This was done differently in each business, too – some used Excel, some used Outlook, some used special software – and none seemed satisfied.

The new web-based enews service stores address lists, saves messages, schedules delivery, and provides automated maintenance of new subscribers and unsubscribe requests. This saves senders a lot of time and energy.  And because of the service, Billie was able to make great looking, web-friendly email templates with the same look of our websites. Check out the Bakeshop daily specials emails and see the difference.
