CyberList Manager
Frequently Asked Questions



Q. What is it?
A. We custom-design a “GUESTBOOK” to look like the rest of your site…and “attach” it to your website. The Guestbook includes check-off boxes, or other device, to capture visitor information, grouping inquiries by common interest so you can communicate to each group with a single message. Then we provide an easy-to-use way to create and send e-mail messages to some or all within each group.
Q. So what makes CyberList Manager such a big deal?
A. You could pay thousands more for this data collection/mass e-mail capabiity. But low-cost isn’t the primary reason our clients love CyberList Manager. It’s the simplicity – so it gets used! Everyone’s so busy these days, it doesn’t matter how powerful a tool it is if it’s not easy to use. The extraordinary response rates of consistent mass e-mailing make this simple-to-use tool one of the best single investments you’ll ever make.
Q. Do I have to be a computer wiz or have database marketing experience to use CyberList Manager?
A. Absolutely not! It’s simple to use – just a few simple selections and mouse clicks. You can learn everything in five minutes!
Q. What happens when you make upgrades available?
A. We’re consistently enhancing the features of CyberList Manager – usually prompted by suggestions from clients who are using it. Whenever there’s an upgrade available, we’ll notify you with an explanation of its benefits. Most upgrades are offered for just a small fee. You can select as many upgrades as you want.
Q. How often should I be sending mass e-mails to people?
A. Frequency is a difficult balancing act. The dramatic results provided by mass
e-mailing makes it tempting to send often. However, prospects and customers can get tired quickly of constant e-mails. Frequency must be dictated by the willingness or desire of the prospect/customer to receive them.
A golfer who “opts in” to be part of a “Last Minute Club” that gets sent e-mail notification of tee-time cancellations in prime season may welcome e-mail messages several times a week. A golfer who simply wants to be on the club’s newsletter mailing list may find anything more than once a month to be irritating. The rule is “don’t push it.” Timely offers that benefit the prospect are usually welcomed if not overdone.
Q. How many records can CyberList Manager accommodate?
A. While there is no minimum or maximum limit to the database, CyberList Manager works best for databases in the 1,000 to 25,000 range.
Q. We host (or have another company) hosting our website. Can we still use CyberList Manager?
A. Yes. We’ll design, program and host only the Guestbook with CyberList Manager on our secure server and create a frameset for importing it into your site. It will be entirely transparent to the visitors as if it were on your site.
Q. Is the information in your database secure?
A. Absolutely secure. We’ve built a high level of firewall protection to prevent penetration from outside. In addition, we provide an affidavit stating that your data will never be used, sold or manipulated in any way not authorized in writing by you.
Q. Why is CyberList Manager a unique mass e-mail solution?
A. Most mass e-mail solutions require software loaded on your computer – utilizing your Internet Service Provider to broadcast your mailings. CyberList Manager resides on our servers. You access it through a password-protected web interface. You never have to worry about mail list quantity restrictions that many Internet Service Providers have in place – and your computer is not tied up by your broadcast.
