A vCard is simply an electronic business card. It is a link or an attachment that contains the name, address and contact number of yourself or the person emailing you. Outlook, Yahoo, etc can understand vCards so that when you click on it, it will automatically add the contact details to your address book, saving you time retyping the details yourself.

Campaign Monitor is a great simple to use email newsletter tool built to send your email campaign, track the results and manage your subscribers. Below is a simple guide on how to send your Toddle email newsletter with Campaign Monitor and track who opened it and what they clicked on.

• Browse on over to www.campaignmonitor.com and sign up for an account or log in if you already have.

• Once you are logged in click on “CREATE/SEND CAMPAIGN”.

• From here you are guided through a simple 4 step process.

• Select “HTML and plain text” when asked.

• First you will be asked for the HTML version of your email newsletter from Toddle. This is the all singing dancing version with images and colours. You will find this link in the “ADVANCED SENDING OPTIONS” box on toddle.us

• Some of your subscribers reading the email newsletter will not be able to view the all singing all dancing version. Some might use email programs that cannot display it or they might have chosen to turn that option off. For these cases we provide an alternative version of the newsletter in nicely formatted plain text. Click the Plain text link in Toddle and copy and paste the text into Campaign Monitor.

• Then its a simple matter of allowing Campaign Monitor guide you to sending the newsletter. If you are anything like us you will waste a few hours clicking the refresh button after sending your email campaign tracking who opened your newsletter and what articles they were interested in. It can be very addictive!!

• Thats it. Simple wasn’t it. Enjoy.

Read why it might be a good idea to send your email newsletter through a third party like Campaign Monitor instead of sending it yourself.
