New Features in eEdge!

Greetings, KW Technology Ambassadors! 

Happy Friday! We hope you've been having a great week and staying dry! Here is your weekly Ambassador update:

NEW FEATURES IN eEDGE

Alyson Engelbrecht
Trainer & Instructional Designer, Trulia

As of June 17, the following features are available in eEdge:

• Activity Alert Updates: Update your activity alert preferences and never miss an alert! You can now choose what alerts you want to receive, including two new alert types:
1. New email from a non-contact
2. New recommendation on your website (Pro only)
• Reply-to Email Address: Instead of using your Marketing Email Address as the “From” address in your marketing emails, it will now be included only as the “Reply to” address. Your “From” address is now your eEdge system email address. We are making this change because some email services use the “From” address to help identify emails as spam. By matching the “From” address to the sending servers we will be increasing email deliverability to these email providers. This change will result in more of your emails making it to your contacts’ inboxes while allowing you to still receive replies to your preferred email address.
• Mobile App Download URL in eEdge Profile Settings: Your unique mobile app download URL is now visible in your eEdge Profile Settings so that it can be easily added to the footer of your email marketing pieces.

And coming soon:

• HTML-Optimized Email: myMarketing will soon include templates and campaigns created using full HTML. There are many advantages to HTML optimized designs:
• Consumers don’t need to have images enabled to see the text of the email.
• Increased deliverability for all emails to the consumers’ inboxes.
• Designs will look great in most smartphones and devices. The HTML adjusts the design based on device size/type.
• Both text and images can be hyperlinked.

On today's webinar, Alyson Engelbrecht with Trulia will explain these new features, recommend best practices, and answer your questions.
