About The Operahouse
The year 2008 marked the great opera and ballet art in Norway. The nation’s new opera house was opened. An important goal for the opening was to clarify the community’s arts and cultural policy ambitions for the new opera house.

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!

Catching More Bad Guys

We have written about the potential power of WrapMail in the effort to find missing children and have even garnered some press in the process. As a quick summary, we feature an Amber Alert as an RSS feed in all emails, sent by our employees, from the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. We also make this feature available for all of our clients.

Our belief is that the same premise could be applied to catching “bad guys.” There are millions of people working in law enforcement around the country which equates to hundreds of thousands of external emails being sent on a daily basis.  These emails could feature an RSS feed and/or a picture of wanted persons.  This could be done on a national and/or local level.  In other words, say there is a person wanted for rape in Broward County, the 6,300 employees of the Broward Sheriff’s office would be able to have the ‘bad guy’ featured in their Wrap.  If each employee sent just one external email in a day, that would mean 6,300 new people would be informed and could help in the search.  I think the odds of finding this person would increase exponentially. These pictures could have embedded hyperlinks that lead to pages with more details (such as more pictures, last seen, clothes worn, last seen with etc). We could even hook up with America’s Most Wanted and feed their data into millions of emails.

There are millions of emails sent every day, one-on-one emails from law enforcement, every one of them could be looking for ‘the bad guys.’ The bottom line is that these emails are sent every day anyway – why not use them for something good? We offer our solution for free to approved organizations as they, like everyone else, send external emails every day.

What We Do – A Refresher

There are two elements that make what we do relevant and possible.  First, companies have employees that send emails and second, companies have a website.  WrapMail simply and seamlesly connects these two things.  Some facts:

• Companies have employees in all types of roles sending external emails all day, on the average of about 10 per day - now, multiply the number of employees (that send emails) in an organization by 10, then by 20 (working days in a month) and you will have the number of impressions that a company is missing out on.
• Without WrapMail, employees are sending plain text emails that do not do ANYTHING in terms of communicating information about the senders company - most organizations, even non-profits, are in the business of making money, on some level. At the end of the day, the cash register needs to ring and the main way to do that is to communicate what your company has to offer to an existing or new audience.  Hard to do that with a plain text email.
• In the business world, when you meet someone or engage in a sales activity, you give them your business card or corporate collateral. Both of which are “analog” and are typically updated infrequently - the business of corporate collateral is a big one. Business cards, brochures, folders, buck slips, letterhead, etc…why not extend that to email? Technology allows for it, so why not do it? And beyond that, WrapMail is “digital” meaning that it can be updated frequently and can capture data.  If a brochure winds up on someones desks and is read the sender would never know.  If a wrapped email is clicked on the sender will know inside of a minute.
• Organizations are often in a rush to get new products or services on their website – that does not mean that “everyone” is checking the site for new stuff.  With WrapMail you can push your products and services out with every email to your audience and often emails go viral so you will reach a new audience.
• The sales force in most organizations is small in comparison the entire staff - WrapMail makes every employee a part of the sales staff.  With every external email they send, they contribute the the sales effort.  Implementing WrapMail is like adding an army of sales people to the staff.  Think you’ll sell more stuff?

Lastly, 10% of the people you email will click on your Wrap and wind up on your site looking at all the new products and services you were in a mad rush to get on there…Wrap it up!

Innovation – Stage II

The life of a start up is an interesting one.  The team works very hard at getting “the thing” up and running.  Sometimes with gum and duct tape just to prove to the market that what you say is possible, is, truly possible.  Then, the team begins to refine the product where the duct tape comes down and real infrastructure and solutions are put in place.  WrapMail is now in the fun stage – I think so anyway – and that is what I like to think of as the 2nd stage of innovation.  The first being the initial creation of our product.

WrapMail is now taking a look at all of our features and thinking about how we can make them not only perform better for the sake of performance, but also for the sake of the customer experience.  We are working very hard at improving all aspects of our product to enhance the measurable results that our customers have become accustomed to seeing.  In the very near future our customers will see improvements to areas such as:

• additional options for sending wrapped emails
• improved design process in the WrapMaker
• additional options with our shells (templates)

We welcome any and all feedback from our customers and encourage you to leave comments here on this blog.

Thank you!
