Before getting started with the email newsletter, be sure you have sent us a high-quality logo of your print shop as this will be used when sending a custom email newsletter. You will have the ability to customize the content within the Email Newsletter using the tools within the Control Center of your demo website.

Making adjustments prior to the Email Newsletter being sent out:

• Log into the Control Center of the staging website we have set up for the WordPress plugin
• https://<MI4PID+6>.secureprintorder.com where MI4PID is your MI4P ID and +6 is the first 6 letters of your printshop name
• Example https://12345printi.secureprintorder.com
• Select the 'Settings' tab
• Select 'Email Newsletter' on the left
• Select 'Switch to Custom Email Newsletter' if you would like to customize the content and delivery schedule of your newsletter
• Do not select ‘Switch to Custom Email Newsletter’ if you would like us to send the default content on your behalf on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month

If sending a custom Email Newsletter, it is your responsibility to click the "Send" button to deliver the newsletter at the time you choose. If you switch to Basic Email Newsletter, the Email Newsletter will be automatically delivered to your subscribers on the first and third Tuesdays of each month using the default article content from MarketingIdeasForPrinters.com.
