A from the creators of CorpNote...

CorpNote improvements in review

We added tons of new tutorials, created 10 online videos of real CorpNote sessions that cover a range of tasks, and authored new online newsletters and blog entries that discuss building your business using the Internet.

We've also made upgrades to our Address Book that let you search and sort your contacts, and added Birthday and Anniversary email reminders, so you don't miss important dates.

We also consolidated our membership types so now there are two choices — Individual Membership and Company Plans. We've increased the number of custom eCards that you can upload to 36, and raised the number of recipients per card to 250.

Pick a card, any card...

Members have been requesting animated eCards for many common (and unique) business occasions, and we now have over 100 animated eCards in the system.

Going Green

Conservation of resources is an international effort, and we are proud that many companies chose CorpNote this year as part of their company or personal campaign to save energy, resources and cost, without compromising the quality of their business relationships.

We are committed to keeping our policy of 'unlimited use for a fixed price', which means that the more you use CorpNote, the lower your cost-per-impression will be. We will be creating new eCards and new business resources aimed at using CorpNote and the Internet to strengthen your business relationships, while significantly bolstering your Green Initiatives and increasing profits.

Here's what's coming...

You're Invited!...

Did you know that 45% of Corpnote members are using our EZ-RSVP Invitation tools to manage online event registration? We'll soon be launching a new, more intuitive way to view a history of all correspondence for a particular event. You'll be able to see who picked up your invitation, who replied, and when reminders and follow-up messages were sent.

More eCards...

We'll be adding more animated and interactive eCards this year with sound and music. We'll also be adding some specialized eCards for specific categories that you've requested, like wine receptions, sales seminars and open houses. (Keep those requests coming...if you have a special need let us know!) You will also be seeing a new line of eCards with a splash of wit, whimsy, irony and office humor.

Motivation...

We all agree that we should spend more time keeping in touch, and that there's nothing more appreciated than a timely follow-up. As part of our effort to create great e-business resources, we'll be writing tips and creating tools that will help you simplify and automate your business correspondence. We'll suggest how to combine print and electronic marketing efforts, and what kind of response rates you can expect from an online campaign. Finally, we'll help you overcome SPAM filters and inbox clutter, and provide solid advice on how your image and message can make you rise above your competition.

The year ahead...

It looks like the new year will be about achieving more, while conserving resources. More eCards, more tools, more business opportunities, more fun, and hopefully more time to enjoy the things that make us happy! We said it before, "Your success is our success", and we are excited about the year to come.
