BWW has tied up with key software providers to bring you cutting edge newsletter management solutions which have been designed to assist anything from a small business to a community web site. BWW Newsletter solutions can grow with your business handling from 100 subscriber to 100,000 subscribers effortlessly.

››Features Offered

Every package is supported by an administrative panel from which you can control the complete newsletter management.

››Professional E-mail Templates

BWW includes professionally designed e-mail templates that have been tested to work with all e-mail clients including Outlook, Thunderbird, Hotmail, Gmail, Yahoo etc. These templates can be used to design a custom e-mail template for your client or you can even upload their existing e-mail template.

››Tracking Reports

For each email campaign of your client, you can see exactly how many recipients opened their e-mail, how many people unsubscribed, which links they clicked, e-mail forwarding statistics and more. BWW's software campaign reporting features are simply unmatched.

››No Restriction E-mails

Our software was designed from the very beginning to be able to support the mailing of hundreds of thousands of e-mails without crashing or other issues- such as duplicate sending.

››Unlimited Autoresponders

Your clients can easily create and send unlimited autoresponder emails on autopilot with BWW software. Take it a step further and only send autoresponders to subscribers who match certain criteria, such as a particular age, location or interest.

››Bounce Handling

Our software makes it easy to remove bad e-mail addresses from the subscriber lists of your client base with a built-in bounce handling engine. Simply setup an e-mail account to accept such bounced emails when your client begins a campaign and the installed BWW software will take care of the rest.

››Unlimited Personalization Options

Create custom fields to capture additional details about people subscribing to your clients mailing lists, which they can then use to personalize the subject line and content of any e-mail.

››Integrated Campaign Editor

It's easy for your clients to use BWW software's built-in campaign editor to create visually stunning newsletters, promotional e-mails and flyers. If clients are able to use Microsoft Word, they will definitely be able to use BWW software and one of the integrated templates to create an e-mail campaign in approximately 20 minutes.

››Campaign Scheduling

After your client creates an e-mail campaign, it can be sent immediately or can be scheduled to be sent at any time in the future using BWW software's built-in scheduling wizard. You can even notify the client automatically via e-mail when sending begins and ends.

››Bulk Campaigns

Save time and perform bulk campaign tasks such as deleting, archiving and activating with just a few clicks using BWW software's bulk tasks option.

››Create a Campaign

Since not every client will want to use BWW software's campaign editor, we've included three different ways to import content for an e-mail campaign by using the editor, upload a file or importing a file from a website.

››Create HTML, Text or Multipart E-mails

BWW software gives you the option of creating HTML only, text-only or multipart (HTML and text) e-mails. When you choose multipart BWW software will automatically deliver the most appropriate format to each subscribers inbox, depending on whether their e-mail client can display HTML e-mails or not.

››Archive Sent Campaigns as RSS

BWW software can archive all sent e-mail campaigns into individual RSS feeds for each mailing list. You can then use a free tool such as Magpie RSS or create your own code to display a campaign archive on your client's site.

››Link Tracking, Open Tracking and Embedded Images

For each e-mail campaign you can enable/disable link click tracking and e-mail open tracking. You can also embed images as attachments along with each e-mail so recipients are not prompted to display images by their e-mail client.

››Multi-Message Email Autoresponders

Create a series of e-mails, tell BWW software when each email should be sent out (eg. 1 hour, 1 day, 2 days, 1 month etc after someone subscribes to your client's mailing list). It's easy to create an instant and automated multi-message e-mail autoresponder with BWW software.

››List Segmented Autoresponders

Segment your clients subscriber list and create follow up autoresponders based on specific custom field values, such as only send to subscribers in a specific city or those who clicked on a specific link in an e-mail campaign.

››Complete Autoresponder Statistics

BWW software includes detailed statistical reporting for autoresponders, including sending and unsubscribe stats, open rates, bounce and forwarding stats shown in easy-to-read charts.

››Personalize Your Autoresponder Messages

Include custom field values (such as subscriber first name) in both the subject line and content of your autoresponder e-mail messages. Personalization helps to improve open rates and to make sure your message arrives in the subscriber's inbox and not their junk mail folder.

››Create HTML, Text or Multipart Autoresponders

BWW software gives you the option to create HTML only, text only or multipart (HTML and text) autoresponders. When you choose multipart, BWW software will automatically deliver the most appropriate format to each subscriber's inbox, depending on whether their e-mail client can display HTML e-mails or not.

››Separate Statistics for Users

Each user account has access to their own statistical area where they can view important campaign and subscriber details. Reports can be viewed for today, yesterday, the last week, month, year, and for any specific date range.

››Individual User E-mail Templates

Create or upload an email template for each client with BWW software. This template will be unique to them and none of your other clients will be able to see it or modify it in any way.

››Individual User Permissions

Each client account has its own set of permissions. For example, disable client No. 1 from deleting e-mail campaigns or sending autoresponders but allow client No. 2 to perform all tasks. Unless they are setup as an administrator, users can never gain access to system-level functions such as adding or removing users.

››E-mail Throttling

Restrict the number of e-mails that will be sent per hour on a per-user or system-wide basis. Any e-mails over the quota will be sent the next hour. This is a great way to reduce load on your mail server if you have a large client base.
