I figured that subject might grab someone's attention.....
(I've posted this to every list for maximum exposure, so please forgive me
if you've seen it before...and I do apologize to all you List monitors....I
wouldn't post OT, but I really need the feedback.)
I have a really serious question....and this is a feature that every
customer of mine wants for their email campaigns. And I would love to be
able to offer it to them!
Figuring out which type of email a user's email program can receive without
having them specify a type in the first place.
The general consensus I have gotten is that this is not doable.
Until recently.....this is an excerpt from http://www.flonetwork.com
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"HTML graphics-rich email messages get more response than plain text.
FloNetwork has the technical sophistication to deliver on that premise.
With our Dynamic Personalization application, for example, each email can be
personalized with any number of offer and message variables. Graphic content
can also be added with ease. The more sophisticated the email, the greater
the chance that the end user may not have the proper systems to read it.
FloNetwork's HTML sensing technology senses whether a recipient's system can
read HTML messages. If not, the system automatically defaults to a plain
text message that can be read.
Our Flo Rich Media application builds the player right into the email. This
means that anyone can read the message, regardless of the software or
hardware they are using. The result is dramatically more compelling
communications that can generate as much as three times the response rate of
plain text email."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What are they talking about? How do they do this? Has anybody heard of this?
I can sign up for the demo from them, but they aren't likely to release and
trade secrets to me are they?.....so I am looking for anyone out there that
has any idea about how this is done. Because, I need to do it. I don't care
if I have to learn a new programming language.....this has been one of the
top 5 requests from our client base.
Thanks in advance for your input.
