Calling all our friends in the ATL! We are happy to be sponsoring the MacTech BootCamp series of training seminars for Mac consultant professionals. September 18th you can find us (and other great sponsors) at the Loudermilk Conference Center in Atlanta.
BootCamp is a day-long intensive seminar that dives deep on a variety of technologies and skills essential to any consultant supporting large (or small) Mac and iOS deployments. Learn the best way to provision mobile devices, manage networking and storage, implement robust backup strategies, and manage client relationships. All this, plus a great lunch and casual networking (the human kind) opportunities.

Today’s update to Direct Mail brings a variety of bug fixes and enhancements, but one of the most noticeable changes will likely be the improvements to the Reports user interface.
Since most of our customers (and most Mac users, in general) are accessing Direct Mail from their laptops, we optimized the Reports tab to make the most of limited screen real estate. As shown in the animation above, you’re able to see much more of your report in version 3.5.3 as compared to previous versions of Direct Mail.
We’ve also added a Report menu to the menu bar for easier access to features you may not have realized existed before.
As always, you can learn more about the rest of the changes in Direct Mail 3.5.3 by reading the release notes. Follow us on Twitter or Facebook for more updates in the future!
For all you WordPress fans out there, we’re happy to announce another great way to integrate Direct Mail subscribe forms into your WordPress blogs and websites. Our friends at ARScode have integrated Direct Mail support into their excellent Ninja Popups WordPress plug-in. Ninja Popups makes it easy to add eye-catching, easy-to-use subscribe forms to your site, complete with themes, statistics tracking, and more. New subscribers automatically sync to Direct Mail behind the scenes. Learn more at the Ninja Popups website.
If you prefer a subtler approach, our free Direct Mail Subscribe Form WordPress plug-in is also available to install.
The July 2013 issue of our Direct Mail Monthly newsletter was sent out yesterday. Take a look inside for news on recent updates, a tip for adding subscribe forms to your Facebook Page, a video on inspiring and motivating with email, as well as a look at some upcoming events you might be interested in.
If your business or organization has its own Facebook Page, Direct Mail makes it easy to add a subscribe form that looks great, syncs automatically with Direct Mail, and doesn’t require your visitors to leave Facebook to sign up! Here’s how to add a subscribe form to your Facebook Page.
First, you’ll need to make sure your business or organization already has a Facebook Page. If you don’t already have one, click here to build one.
Once your Facebook Page is built and working, switch back to Direct Mail. Click on the Addresses tab at the top of the window and select the address group (from the list on the left) that you want your subscribe form to sync with. If you haven’t already, you’ll need to create a subscribe form for that group.
Once your subscribe form is created in Direct Mail, all that’s left is connecting it up to Facebook:
Select your address group (from the list on the left)
Click Subscribe Form: Edit Form
Click Add Form to Website and select Add to Facebook Page…
That’s it! Facebook will confirm that you want to add the subscribe form to your Facebook Page. In Facebook terms, the subscribe form is an “app” that you add to your page.
Once it’s added, visitors to your Facebook Page will see a “Newsletter Signup” app icon at the top of your Page (next to the Photos, Likes, and any other app you’ve installed on your Facebook Page).
If you want to see an example of what the finished product looks like, head on over to our Facebook Page and click the Newsletter Signup tab at the top of the page.
