Newsletters and the mailing facility

PhotoDeck allows you to collect email addresses, and includes a simple mailing facility that allows you to send newsletters.

Newsletter signup and consent modes

By default, clients placing an order or creating an account on your website are invited to join your mailing list. You can control how people subscribe to your newsletter via My business / Legal / Mailings consent. For example, to disable and remove the newletter subscription checkbox, use the Don’t ask, don’t subscribe option.

In addition, you can also easily add a mailing subscription form on any gallery or custom page on your website, using the newsletter form element in the content editor. This allows you to add a newsletter signup form for example on your home page, or on a dedicated page linked from your navigation menu.

You can easily view and manage clients’ subscription to your mailings under My business / Clients.

Creating and sending a mailing / newsletter

Sending unsollicited email is not allowed on PhotoDeck.

To start, you’ll need to access the mailing facility via the My business / Mailings tab. Use the Create a new mailing button: the rich text editor allows you to beautifully format your mailing, including images, tables, and more. When you’re ready, use the Save Draft button and double check everything before you send. It’s a good idea to try sending the email just to yourself at first to make sure it looks fine on different devices.

Email software vary in their ability to display complex pages, and recipients are likely to read the message on mobile. We recommend you keep your mailing layout as simple as possible!

When your message is ready, you can send it to all of your mailing list’s subscribers, to a preset client group, or proceed to manually add email addresses.
