Improved Navigation and More

We've made some long-overdue updates to the Flocknote navigation system. And I must say, we are loving them. We hope you are, too.

Because of the way Flocknote developed over time, we had a number of primary navigation buttons spread out in different places on the page. Well, now they are all contained on a single, nice, neat admin navigation bar at the top of each page (if you're an admin for that page).

Of course, if you have (legally gathered) existing contact info from your members, you can import those directly into the system and start sending them email updates right away.

How to Create a Great Email Newsletter Header (and why)

As you know, here at Flocknote we like to keep things simple. And not just because simple is easy, but because simple is powerful. And it lets your reader focus on your message (which is the point of the email in the first place).

When you send out a Note on Flocknote, you have the choice to post it in a basic format or a "newsletter" format. The newsletter format lets you put your own image banner across the entire top of your email.

It's not all about you

Whether it's your website, your email list, your social media presence, your bulletin, or whatever, it can't be all about you. And if you make it all about you, then you will be the only one actually listening in the end.
