How do I add my contacts to the newsletter system?

If you have subscribed to one of the Content Solutions newsletters services there are a variety of ways to add contacts to your subscriber list:

• Individually - You may add contacts one at a time by clicking the “Add Subscriber” link at the top of the My Subscribers list.  The only field that is required is a valid email address although it is recommended to include first and last name to help you stay organized.  Some of our newsletters can greet the recipient with “Hello [First_Name], if no first name is included the greeting will simply be “Hello,”

• Import Subscribers - If you are using another system to manage your clients it is most likely that system has the ability to export data as .csv file (comma separated values).  If you have an Excel document of email contacts, save that file (Save As) a .csv type file first. We have more specific instructions and video in the Import Subscribers area.  

• Subscriber form - If your Content Solutions package includes the consumer focused monthly Home Matters newsletter we will provide you with JavaScript code that can be added to your website so clients can easily sign up to get your newsletter.

• API - Company level accounts will have the option to utilize RISMedia’s API interface to manage newsletter subscribers.

Tip: Our system will automatically check for duplicate subscribers by comparing the email address field. No need to worry about adding the same email address twice.
