Once again, we here at TemplateZone have been been lucky enough to get another glowing testimonial for our product, High Impact eMail.

This particularly testimonial comes from Steve Nachlas, one of Huston’s best Real Estate Agents, and a teacher at FirstTeach

Steve Nachlas Steve’s Real Estate Site Steve’s Blog FirstTeach

I want to commend KMT Software for its High Impact Email product. Not only have I been an HIE user and supporter for about five years, but I also teach productivity technology to real estate agents. One of our popular classes is High Impact Email. I have found High Impact Email to be one of the best tools for real estate agents to create online listing flyers, Just Listed, Just Sold, newsletters, announcements, calendars and many more. What agents tell me they like best about this product is that their customers love the HTML format. There are no links to flyers or attachments to open! The flyers are easy and fast to create, and they look extremely professional. Many of my clients love the fact that High Impact Email can create mail merge drip campaigns with Outlook, and it even works with other real estate databases. When you combine all of these features along with a one-time low price, hundreds of ready-to-use templates and free online image storage (creating very small emails), you have a winning product that can help professionals in ANY industry stand out from the crowd. We love High Impact Email at our own company, as some of use it to create regular, professional newsletters. Our clients love it as well, and they like the fact that they can try it free for 30 days. Of course, by the end of the free trial, they are usually hooked! High Impact Email is an innovative and useful product from a great company. Thumbs up, guys. Keep up the great work

We’re so grateful for such kind words from our customers! But Steve should know all about great testimonials: In the testimonials section for FirstTeach, people have nothing but kind words for Steve, and here at TemplateZone, neither do we!

We definitely recommend checking out Steve’s blog, but also have a look at his Real Estate site! He’s got a recipe for fajitas- yum!

Another great review of High Impact eMail 5? It’s like the holidays have come early!

Karen Talevara, the marketing mastermind behind SynchronicityMarketing.Com and the InSight Newsletter, was kind enough to give High Impact eMail 5 a great review:

Karen Talavera Synchronicity Marketing @KarenTalavera @SynchronicityMarketing

I’m astounded by the professional-quality email marketing resources available to even the smallest of marketers. The truth is many of these same resources are also ideal for the big guys.One of my favorite products in particular is for the creative aspect of email marketing. I know HTML graphic design is a resource usually lacking at small businesses or scattered within large companies. And homegrown email marketing messages unmistakably look exactly that - home grown - or never make it to the inbox due to poor coding or formatting errors. High Impact Email 5 bridges the gap and is the perfect solution for both small businesses and email marketing program managers at large companies. It’s a library of literally hundreds of professionally-crafted HTML email designs. For about $99 you get eons of totally customizable email message and newsletter templates - change the color, images, and insert your own copy! Watch the video to see how. An entire email design library for about $100? It gets better. Buy through this link on my Resources page and get the 25% Labor Day Discount too!

Excuse us! We’re blushing over here!

Just a quick update on an interesting article that my boss passed along this morning: Putting a Fair Internet Use Policy in Place by BusinessWeek columnist Karen E. Klein.

With the holidays upon us, many of us might be perusing online stores on company time. Internet shopping is easy, often less expensive and - most importantly - requires one tiny fraction of the time that buying in a store does. Even if you storm in, eyes aimed forward, with exactly what you want in mind, it’s infinitely simpler to click around a quiet website and have the product delivered to wherever it should be.

It’s important for business owners - especially small business owners - to keep this in mind, as web-surfing employees are likely risking the security and productivity of your company. By recognizing the need for monitoring internet activity and subsequently implementing a solid fair use internet policy, you can protect yourself against any losses this season incurred by workers using company computers to cross off items on their shopping list.

TemplateZone is well aware that writing thorough business and HR policies (such as those required to define acceptable internet usage) can be a pain. It requires research, writing, editing, and approval - and delays in any of these areas could waste more than just your company’s time.

It’s essential to protect your business with a comprehensive employee handbook and e-policy manual so that you can streamline everyday business activity and concentrate on generating revenue.

So we developed our Office Policy Manual software: a collection of polished employee handbooks, e-policies, HR forms and job descriptions guaranteed to cover all of your bases. All documents are fully customizable and pre-approved by industry experts.

In JUST A FEW DAYS, Office Policy Manual 2010 will be available for sale on TemplateZone.com for just $99.95 (discounted upgrade price available for users of an earlier version), and we’ll be sure to let you know all about it! If you have any questions, post ‘em here - or you can direct them to our customer support team at support@templatezone.com.

Here at the TemplateZone Blog, we’ve given you tutorials and advise all about the formatting and look of your business emails.

But emails aren’t all about formatting and look- They’re about content. So here are some helpful hints when it comes to sending professional emails, whether you are emailing your marketing list with a beautiful email design (made with a High Impact eMail template, perhaps?), or just participating in some basic, interoffice communication.

• Strong Subject Line In my personal life, I am notorious for almost never using the subject line, but professionally? Look out- I am all about the subject line, and you should be, too. If you’re a quirky company, or writing to a close colleague, it’s okay to get a little creative. However, even within the creativity, make sure the content of your email is clearly outlined in the subject line. Remember, time is valuable: Don’t waste your recipients’ time- be upfront in your subject line.

• Writing Style Writing an email is like dressing for an event: It is better to be over-dressed (or overly formal) than under-dressed (overly familiar). If you have never corresponded with this person before, write cautiously, politely and professionally. Once they have replied, or if they were the first to contact you, feel free to match their tone- to a degree. Don’t let their email faux pas become yours. If they reply 2 u leik dis lol!, it might be a good idea to keep your email a little more highbrow. Or maybe a lot more highbrow.

• Tone Sometimes, the little things are getting to you. Or rather, something big is getting to you. In a crisis situation, you may often feel it’s necessary to contact everyone to either alert them to the situation, or to seek help. Or you may feel the need to blame someone, and blame them hard, via email. Do not do this- never write an email when you’re angry. Even if you have a candid relationship with the person you’re about to contact, writing them a passionate and angry email will do no good. They won’t be receptive to it, and you’ll come across looking unprofessional.

• Remember Your Audience is everyone. You may just be emailing you thoughts to one person, but with the click of a mouse, your email could be all over the internet in seconds. Not only should a professional email never be angry, it should always be positive. Do not focus the email on the problem, unless you’re identifying it critically. After you’ve identified it, make an effort to seek a solution. Always be proactive in your emails.

• Spell check Please do it. Spell check. Grammar check. If you struggle with either of these things, firstly, I am right there with you. Secondly, have someone else give the email a once-over. Remember to check for typos where you least expect them, like in your name. More embarrassing than a mistake choosing between its and it’s is signing your name Katleen McCauly.

These are just a few tips to help ensure a successful, professional correspondence. Happy emailing!
