In order to succeed at anything, you have to connect with people. And, you have to stay connected as you grow relationships.

After years of experimenting with various ways to manage customer relationships, Joyce S. Kaye (a.k.a. The Computer Spirit) has landed on a particular idea that works extremely well and provides a lot of bang for the buck. And, it's loads of fun too!

We're talking about electronic newsletters. Over the years, more and more people have figured out the value of staying in touch through newsletters. The trouble has been making it simple and effective. That's no longer a problem with Constant Contact®. Using this email service provider (ESP), you can easily stay in touch with customers, nurture prospects, provide useful, timely information, and announce promotions and special offers. You can use it to send out your annual family holiday message too!

It's a heck of a lot of fun - you can be creative as little or as much as you want, and still always turn out a great looking, quality communiqué.

Contact The Computer Spirit if you think you would benefit by customizing and automating your customer relations management processes – contact her even if you don’t have customer relations management processes! And, contact Joyce if your 'customers' are friends and family, volunteers and donors, or vendor partners.

There’s nothing The Computer Spirit loves more than helping you reach out to those who are important to you. Unless it’s reaching out in ways that save you money, empower, enlighten, and entertain your contacts, and tell your story!
