Neat Find: One-Stop Shop for Email Marketing

Let's face it. Managing an email newsletter is no field day these days. With interactive features and a huge database to maintain, you truly need a comprehensive email management program to keep yourself efficient and sane.

You know I'm always an advocate of try-before-you-buy (even if it is a $5 t-shirt - why waste? I don't want a $5 rag), so having a 15-day trial is a nicety for admins to test out a new software. Now if you want to sign up after you've tried it, iContact's email newsletter software prices at a very reasonable $9.95 a month.

Most importantly, they run the whole program off a web interface and offer an intelligent autoresponder tool that ensures your subscribers are never annoyed at being unable to unsubscribe or change their subscription email. Very very important for good client relations.

Neat Find: Snapfish Coupons

As part of my job as sagelike investor for my home (SIFMH) <- right... anyway, I find ways to save as well as invest our household money. Another part is managing the public relations of our son who has many bloodkin fans all over the world.

Although I own a Canon Selphy photo printer, I get lazy busy and only print and send pictures once in a blue moon. I read in the papers recently that Snapfish has come to town and they're giving some freebies to newbies.

Hence a quick run to my old coupon heaven Couponchief to dig up some coupons and lo and behold, I found some with free shipping!

Neat Find: Laser is Better

I use a laser printer. Aside from the fact that they look crisper and more professional, they also save money in the long run. (Note that they may be a health hazard too - fragments in the air clogging lungs - but that's another story. Bottom line: use when needed and air the room extensively.)

The beauty of using laser printers is most manufacturers will ship the toner cartridges and ink cartridges to you at no extra cost. If you live in the US or Puerto Rico, you can get your supplies from Inkers in 2-3 days.
