XSellerate by a la mode



Frequently Asked Questions

If someone clicks on the opt-out button in one of my emails, will their email address remain in my contacts manager?
Yes, the contact information remains.  XSellerate remembers that the contact has opted out of future marketing e-mails and will not send to them. 
If someone opts out, will I be able to tell?
Yes, you can see the contact's marketing status in Contacts under Contact Information. If a user has opted out of an email, this message will appear: "This contact has unsubscribed from all marketing e-mails."
Do I need to buy a special copy of Adobe® Acrobat®?
To read, edit and print online, you should have Adobe® Reader® 5.0 or higher, which is free.  To save the changes that you've made online, you'll need Adobe® Standard or Professional version 6.0 or higher.  Standard and Professional also give you more editing capabilities, but we've designed the ad text so that you can use the basic editing tools in Adobe® Reader® 5.0 or higher.  The free Adobe Reader (you can download it from www.Adobe.com) will work and most PCs already come loaded with Adobe Reader.
Does XSellerate automatically save my pages as I go through the steps of creating a campaign?
Yes.  If you need to leave the campaign editor for any reason, the changes you've made so far will be saved and will be available when you come back into the editor.  Save options also exist throughout your campaign Wizard, and we recommend that you use them.
What is the difference between a drip campaign and a one-time campaign?
The drip campaign feature allows you to set up XSellerate to automatically send ads at intervals that you specify.  A one-time campaign is just that, it allows you to send the ad once.
I created an ad for one group of contacts and I want to create a similar ad for a different group of contacts, but customize it for that group. How do I do this without having to completely rewrite the ad?
The Clone feature makes this very easy. Just click the Clone button to the right of your campaign and make the changes you wish to make. This feature is a great time saving device if you just want to change a contact group or text in your email campaign for a different spin on the ad.
How can I tell if a campaign has been sent to my contacts?
You can click on the History link to the right of the campaign in your Online Campaigns page.
Why isn't my drip campaign sending?
For the drip campaigns, we've included a feature that allows you to enable the drip only when you are finished editing your campaign.  If you have not checked the "enable drip" checkbox in the first screen of the campaign editor, your campaign will not be sent.  All drip campaigns default to the checked box.
If I add a contact to a group after I've created a campaign for that group, will that new contact receive the ads in that campaign?
Absolutely.  In fact, they'll even receive all the ads starting from the beginning of the campaign even if the date for that particular ad has already passed.
I've created my own ad in Microsoft Word, can I add this to my library of print ads in XSellerate?
Yes.  We've designed XSellerate to be your central repository for print campaigns.  You can upload files you've created in Microsoft Publisher, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft PowerPoint, and much more.  Basically, any file you have on your computer can be uploaded to your library.
Can I send e-mail or print campaigns in a second language?
Yes. Our pre-built campaigns have been translated "by hand" into Spanish.
If I delete an ad or campaign, is there a default restore?
Campaigns can be re-created at any time, they key off of the library of ads under Edit Online ads.  However, under the Edit Online ads option, if you delete one of those ads, a la mode has to restore them for you.  If you accidentally delete one of your custom ads from that same section, you have just entered the oh shit zone!  Please make sure that you want to delete unwanted ads.  We are looking at a default restore option for future versions.
Who's actually sending my e-mails?
You are.  XSellerate will send via your own email address.
Can I set message reminders?
XSellerate comes with an online scheduler which you can use to make appointments and send e-mail reminders.  You have access to it from anywhere you have access to the internet, including your internet-enabled mobile devices.
Can I use my own design elements such as my company logo in an ad?
Yes, the ads come with pre-built content to get you going quickly, but are 100% customizable.  You can even create your own ad from scratch.
If I edit an XSellerate ad, is it added to my library of pre-built ads?
As long as you save it with a different Subject name it will be added to your list of pre-built ads.  However, if you edit an ad without making a clone or without re-naming the file,  XSellerate's ad has become yours and will remain your custom file.
