BlissfulGirl Productions offers a simple Web-based Email Marketing System for permission-based quick announcements and email newsletters. A permission-based email system follows (and sometimes exceeds) the anti-spam laws set out by CAN-SPAM and PIPEDA. Spam is any email you send to someone who hasn’t given you their direct permission to contact them on the topic of the email. Download this helpful permission-based email guide to determine if your database of contacts meets the standards.

Some of the advantages of BlissfulGirl Productions Web-based Email Marketing System include:

• Secure, reliable and supported private individual account
• Option to send email campaigns directly using templates or to have Adele create a unique HTML email for more graphically complex HTML emails

• Automatically adds links to forward email to friends or view a web version of the email
• Handles all bounce-backs and unsubscribe requests automatically

• Easily measure the success of your campaigns with reports
• Archives campaign results and statistics

Design & Spam Filter Testing
Each email campaign can be tested via a Design & Spam Filter Test. The Design Test shows exactly what your email will look like in a minimum of 6 web-based email clients, 12 desktop email clients, and 2 mobile email clients. The Spam Filter Test tells you if your email will pass the spam filters in a minimum of 3 desktop spam filters, 8 server spam filters and 1 gateway spam filter.

Campaign snapshot
See how your email campaign has performed at a glance. Find out how many recipients opened your email, clicked a link, unsubscribed, forwarded your email to a friend and loads more.

Opens Over Time
Our simple Opens Over Time Report shows exactly who is checking out your email, how many times they’re doing it, and when they did it. You can get an overview for the life of the campaign or drill down all the way to minute by minute detail.

Recipient Activity
Our recipient activity report lets you get down to some serious detail on your campaign. Easily see who opened, who clicked, who bounced and who unsubscribed. You can even search for a specific subscriber to see exactly what they did with your email.

Link activity
The Link Activity Report makes it very easy to see what your subscribers found most interesting, as well as who clicked and who did not.

Bounce Summary
As well as automatically processing any bounced emails for you, we also tell you exactly why that subscriber bounced out of your list. Maybe we got an out of office reply, or perhaps their mailbox was full - whatever the reason, they didn’t get your email and we’ll tell you why.

Compare campaigns
Easily compare any of your email campaign with each other. Is your open rate improving? Are you seeing less bounces over time?

Basic Costs
Each campaign is unique and each HTML email or template may require a different amount of work to set up. The rates for creating an HTML email or creating a template are $60/hr (plus tax where applicable). Most HTML emails or templates require a minimum of 2 to 4 hours for design and set-up. If you use the same basic template for each mail-out the design and set-up fee is a one-time cost.

There are no monthly fees. The static costs per campaign are as follows:
$10.00/campaign
$0.017/email
$10.00/template compatibility test
For example an email campaign to a list of 1,000 email addresses with 1 design test would cost $32.00 plus the cost of design and set-up.
