Hassle Free Email Design Preview Opportunity!

30th Mar 2008, Posted by Cem under Email Marketing, Product News No Comments »

Being an email marketer or email service provider is a big trouble in todays world, especially when there’s no standard between email clients for rendering the HTML email same.

Testing the design of your HTML newsletter on all email services and clients is a frustrating and time consuming task to do but a must-have procedure to maximize the success of your email campaign.

To help you and save time/money on this procedure, we built up a new online service for everyone who send HTML newsletters and worry about the readibility of the newsletter on different email services.

PreviewMyEmail.com is a free to sign-up service which let’s you submit newsletters and take screen shots of your HTML newsletter in various popular email clients in just a few minutes. You can test unlimited newsletters for only $9.95 / preview.

At the moment, PreviewMyEmail.com takes screen shots of your email in the following email services and clients:

Web Based Email Clients

• AOL Web
• Gmail
• Hotmail
• Yahoo! Mail

Desktop Email Clients

• Outlook Express
• Outlook 2003
• Outlook 2007

We will be adding more email clients to the list in the near future.

Why should I use PreviewMyEmail.com? Can’t I just do this myself?

Yes you can! But this will cost you both time and money! For every change, you will need to send an email to all of your email accounts taken from these services and you will login to each one of them to see if there’s a problem on your email design or not. You will need to create test accounts on all email clients and pay them annual fee to be a premium user. Beside of this, you will need to setup virtual/phsyical machines to test desktop email clients. Probably, this will cost you at least $7,500 USD and lots of time.

What kind of features does PreviewMyEmail.com offer?

When you test your email design through PreviewMyEmail.com, we will take screen shots of your newsletter on various email clients including web based and desktop versions. In just a few minutes, we will show you the screen shots of your email in both images on and images off both. You can submit your newsletter to PreviewMyEmail.com by uploading, copy&paste or sending email to your special account email address.

How can I sign-up?

So easy! Just visit PreviewMyEmail.com and click sign-up button on the top menu. In a few seconds, you account and special access address will be ready for you at no cost. You only pay when you preview your email.

What’s the cost?

Each test package costs $9.95 (discounts available on volume purchases - see sign-up page). We accept credit card and PayPal.

Do you offer API?

Yes, we offer API functionality. You can integrate PreviewMyEmail.com service into your existing application/website by connecting to PreviewMyEmail.com API. You can offer our service as a rebranded service to your customers through API. For more information about API access activation, please visit sign-up page at PreviewMyEmail.com

Octeth has put great human and money resources to this project for offering affordable, highly useful email desing preview service to all email marketers around the world. It’s been hosted on Octeth’s powerful dedicated server clusters.

Important Announcement About PHP4 Compability

15th Sep 2007, Posted by Cem under Octeth, Product News 4 Comments »

Dear Fellow Customers,

As you may know, PHP4 is going to be discontinued by their developers by the end of 2007. You can read more about this important decision here and here.

We are now improving and updating our product source codes to get benefit of PHP5 functionalities. This will result with several incompatibilities with PHP4 environments. Unfortunately, the new benefits of PHP5 can not be used without dropping the PHP4 support.

We strongly recommend you to upgrade your web server PHP version from 4 to 5. Otherwise, you will have an unsupported PHP4 version in just a few months which may cause several security and script incompatibility issues.

To learn your PHP version, simply create a test PHP script and write the following PHP code inside that file:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Save and upload this file to your web server and run it through your web browser. If your PHP version is older than v5, we strongly recommend you to contact your hosting company and learn how to upgrade your PHP version.

The new Oempro version which is going to be released in just a few weeks will be PHP5 compatible and will not support PHP4. We are implementing special improvements in Oempro’s send engine modules and this action requires PHP5.

For your questions and comments, do not hesitate to contact us via sales@octeth.com
