Blogs & Newsletters

Besides web sites we also set up weblogs (blogs) and e-mail newsletters. These can be hosted on your server or at a third-party service provider.

Business Blogs

Business web logs are an effective method of communicating with your customers and marketing to new customer prospects. Although much more limited in scope than a full web site they offer some advantages such as self-publishing and RSS feeds. They can also be integrated into your web site.

Blogs are available as a remotely hosted service or can be installed on your server. Depending on the features required they are available in free or paid mode.

Southwind Web Services can advise you on the best solution amongst the wide range of options.

E-mail Newsletters

One of the best online marketing tools is a regular newsletter to permission based list of customers and prospects. However producing an e-mail newsletter requires a commitment of time and effort, it is not a short term project.

Sending bulk e-mail, even to an opt-in list, is not for the inexperienced. Besides the technical issues it is essential to avoid being labeled as a spammer and having all email from your domain blacklisted by ISPs or your messages being filtered to the recipient's junk folder.

Southwind Web Services can help you to publish an email newsletter in a professional manner and without endangering your online reputation.
