The latest real estate newsletter is scheduled to start mailing today, August 10th around 2:00 PM. Members can visit the NACHI Real Estate Newsletter page to view messages in their queue. Please note that this message has been finalized–any changes you make to your mailing lists will be reflected in the next newsletter (not this one).
Because of reports in the past of incorrect information being included in our newsletter we’ve been giving members a little while to look over the messages that are going out and double-check that everything’s OK. There haven’t been any bugs reported in the past few newsletters, so we’ve shortened this time to just half a day. Please do take a look at your queue to make sure everything is correct.
Update: About 23,000 messages have been sent. That’s a rate of a little over 10,000 an hour. Which means the whole process should go somewhat faster than I initially suggested. Things will start slowing down around 5-5:30 when the server starts handling a higher load of visitors (everyone getting back from work and checking in on the site), but we should still see the whole thing sent in under 2 days.
I received my personal copy of the e-newsletter. It looks pretty good. When I send out monthly e-newletters with “Homehints” I’m able to review the click/view statistics after it is sent. On 18,000 address’s I normally receive about 3000 views and about 300 clicks. The bulk of that comes within the first 48 hours of the send. Can you tell us the click/view stats you’ve received on the 200,000 address’s for your current e-newsletter send? I’m very interested since my account represents about 9% of your entire distribution.
