Subscription Managment Options for Email Marketing Standard System

The Subscription options below are for customers on our Email Marketing Standard system.

Customers using our Email Marketing Pro system can set up subscription management options from within Email Marketing Pro Control Panel. Login and select help for more information on the Email Marketing Pro system.

Visitors to your web site may manage subscriptions to your newsletter in one or more ways as follows:

1. Standard Form Link
2. Web Page Custom Form

Option 1: Standard Form Link

Our standard subscriber form implements double opt-in subscribe and is easy to setup. Just code it as a link on your web page:

Subscribe to my Ezine
Code: <a href=http://host/listMgr/subscribe?lists=Newsletter&action=subscribe>
Subscribe</a> to my Ezine

Cancel from my Ezine
Code: <a href=http://host/listMgr/cancel?lists=Newsletter&action=cancel>
Cancel</a> from my Ezine

Replace "Newsletter" with the newsletter ID for your Ezine. Replace "host" with one of {lists.webvalence.com, news.webvalence.com, letters.webvalence.com, zines.webvalence.com, casts.webvalence.com} depending on where your Ezine is hosted. You can verify your newsletter ID and host by clicking on the Info tab after logging in.

The advantage of the standard form link is simplicity. The subscribe or cancel process is handled by the site visitor's web browser. The disadvantage is that this method uses pages that don't look like the your web site.

Option 2: Web Page Custom Form

The custom form may be a part of any web site page, regardless of whether the page is hosted by WebValence. This form implements standard double opt-in subscribe to your Ezine.

See web page custom form example

The advantage of the custom form is that it preserves the look and feel of your web site and offers additional options such as collecting information about your subscribers. The disadvantage is that the custom form is more complicated to set up than the standard form.
