IWM’s News Release System

IWM’s News Release System is a web based service. It is installed on our servers on the internet and operated/accessed via a passworded administration area. The template can be adapted with a 'header' and 'base' to suit any clients design/logo etc.

The system enables you to create multiple email lists, send text or HTML emails, even add attachments. It also has a built-in HTML Editor for creating professional looking html email based newsletters. The delivered email looks just like a web page. You can send pictures, links, forms, banner ads, colours, ....in fact just about anything.

You can also preview the message before sending, make adjustments as required and can adjust the sender and subject of the email each time you use the system.

Furthermore, by adding a small amount of code in your web pages, visitors will be able to subscribe or unsubscribe to your mailing list automatically. The system will send an email notification to the user when subscribing and unsubscribing. These email messages can be modified by the administrator to match your web site.

We charge a one-off figure of £500 plus VAT for set up and initial production work, plus £250 plus VAT for hosting the system and technical support [ie £750 plus VAT to get it up and running and then £250 plus VAT thereafter]. There is no extra cost for training [which we do over the phone] as this is covered by the initial set up and ongoing hosting/technical support charges.

Training will involve sending out a few dummy newsletters to a test list until you feel confident enough to send it out to your customers and we are always here in the background if you forget anything or want advice…..or even if you want to create a slightly more bespoke looking circular that you feel is beyond you to create as a one-off at any time.

Although you can add e-mail accounts individually whenever you want to, you probably have an initial list that you would like to start with. You can either supply this as a pure “notepad” .txt list with one address underneath the other, or you can send it to us in Excel with the e-mail addresses in one column. Please be very careful to ensure that there is no space at the end of each address, otherwise we [or you!] will have to delete the space manually at the end of each address which would be v time consuming.
