Do you want to leverage SharePoint’s content creation tools to produce online versions of your newsletter but push your newsletter out over email using your email marketing tool?  During this session we will show you how integrating the two technologies will save you time in creating your weekly/monthly newsletters.

Here are some of the benefits of integrating SharePoint and your email marketing tool that we’ll cover during the presentation;

  1. You no longer have to produce two versions of your online newsletters; one for your website and one for email.  How integrating the technologies will save your organization time and money.
  2. How best practices for good email template design are different than best practices for web site design.  Leveraging the integration to pull content from SharePoint into email templates already design with email client limitations in mind so you don’t have to recreate your HTML from SharePoint.
  3. Get more of your newsletters to your members’ inboxes and great insight into what call-to-actions are most effective with your audience.  Leveraging your email reporting and tracking.
