Options – Newsletter Preferences

To customize a personal Newsletter for use in your email Marketing, open the “Newsletter Preferences” section of the Options tab. The options for configuring your Newsletter are separated into three sub-tabs. At the top of each tab will be a link to your Newsletter, which can be copied to use and send anywhere.

The “Sections” sub-tab allows you to choose what elements will appear in your Newsletter. First, choose from a general template using the drop-down menu at the top, then click “Update.”

An example of your Newsletter will appear to the right. Individual sections can be dragged and dropped in the text newsletter to the right. To remove or add a section, use the blue links in the “Newsletter Options” list to the left.

New links, in the form of RSS feeds, can be added to your newsletter using the drop-down menu below, and the number of articles to display for each can be selected. If you want to request a news feed that is not on this list, you can submit the RSS feed link to BNTouch for review using the “Add new RSS” option. These are not the same as website URLs or other links, so make sure you use the correct format and address provided by the new feed.

To add your own custom elements to your Newsletter, use the “Custom Text and Name” sub-tab. Here, you can enter a name for your Newsletter, a title for the RSS feed articles section, and a title for a custom-text section.

The custom section can be used to add whatever content you like to your newsletter using the text box below. The options above the box can be used for editing, formatting, and inserting elements like videos and image, meta-tags for data in your CRM, or links to external websites. When finished, click “Update Text” to save any entered information. What you enter here will be sent with your Newsletter, so be sure to update this section at the end of each month to keep your Newsletter up-to-date.

The “Links” sub-tab can be used to embed image links to your Newsletter in other websites or communications you use. To do so, simply copy the HTML text to the right of the link you want to use, then paste that HTML into the website, email, or other web location you want the button to appear.
