Hødd soccer club has found a new revenue source in WrapMail

Hødd soccer club in Norway has already sold three advertising spots in their email wrap. Sparmax, Allweiler (Colfax) and the local Xerox dealer all have seen the value of advertising in emails sent from the Hødd-staff. The first advertiser was enough to eliminate the cost of WrapMail, the next two represent pure profit for the club. Quite a number of soccer clubs struggle financially and this is where WrapMail creates a hat-trick by branding the club, driving additional traffic to the website and generating a new revenue stream.

Toshiba Business Solutions signs on with WrapMail

Toshiba Business Solutions (TBS) has today signed up with WrapMail to use WrapMail’s Enterprise Solution. WrapMail will install its propritary software in TBS’s datacenter and initially TBS will use WrapMail for 750 employees accross North America. The Enterprise solution includes the WrapMaker (Patent Pending) where TBS can make an unlimited amount of wraps (a “wrap” is a dynamic and interactive letterhead for regular emails) and further set rules as far as who will be using what wrap when, either individually, by department or rotation. Furthermore the solution includes full tracking of the interactive elements of the wraps by sender, recipient, subject and  timestamps. WrapMail Enterpise also includes a campaign module where TBS can upload email lists and send campaign style emails to a large audience. As with all WrapMail’s solutions nothing will be installed on any desktop/laptop computer or cell phone and no routines change as far as the senders are concerned. WrapMail’s solution is one where all emlements are embedded in the email itself (images and links) and thus these show up on the recipients end without images being blocked and having to be downloaded. WrapMail is compatible with Google Analytics.

Example of what a TBS wrap could look like:

Toshiba Business Solutions Florida wrap example

Toshiba Business Solutions will now be able to take advantage of the facts that they have web pages and employees that send external emails every day anyway. WrapMail enables every email and every sender to become part of TBS’s marketing effort and the esitmated number of branding impressions for 750 senders is about 75,000 per month according to WrapMail’s statistics. Statistics further show that 5-10% of these emails will result in a click and thus a visit to a TBS web page. We all send emails every day, with WrapMail senders now inform the reciving audience via images, text and links of all the products and services the senders company has to offer.

Social Networks + Email = WrapMail & Free Awesomeness

Following our latest  release of www.wrapmaillite.com for MLM, real estate agents and eBay sellers, WrapMail now connects social networks with email - www.wrapmail.com/social.   WrapMail gives users the ability to drive traffic directly to their respective social network pages such as Facebook, LinkedIn, MySpace, Twitter, personal blogs, etc…by including links and logos embedded in every email they send.  Here’s an example:

WrapMail is the first company in the world to successfully marry social networking elements and email.  MySpace has recently announced an email product, but it requires that you have a profile with them and will not allow for your other social network profiles to be included.

There are many themes for the top and bottom to choose from and more will be added every week.  There’s a logo library available of the world’s 25 largest social networks and common blogs.  Users can set a link for each logo and also upload their own images.  Four images show in each Wrap and if more than four are selected they will rotate with every email.  There is no cost for the service, which means this is free awesomeness.

Our pitch remains the same:  you have web pages and you send emails, WrapMail connects them and drives traffic to your pages and also tells you who is looking at what and when.  Simple.  Smart.  Be sure to join the “I’m a Wrapper” group on Facebook.

WrapMail for eBay Sellers

That’s right folks.  WrapMail now has a system for the millions of sellers on eBay.  Much like the others on WrapMail Lite, the eBay Wrap (below) will give users the same powerful email marketing software that Pro clients have come to love.

After signing up for the web-based system, eBay sellers will choose their email address and will then have access to a professionally designed wrap which they can customize with their picture and contact information.  Further, sellers will be able to upload as many listings/auctions as they want to their own personal library and up to 8 listings per email will be featured and will subsequently rotate with every email they send.  Individual links can be assigned to every listing as well, so recipients can access additional information via eBay when they click on the images.

Connect your email and your web site .  Simple.  Smart.

Wrap it up!
