And the iPad 2 from CodeTwo goes to…?

It’s been a while since CodeTwo’s last software giveaway contest on MSExchange.org ended. We randomly picked 10 winners and the 10th selected person was supposed to get iPad 2 and CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. We, however, could not get hold of the luckiest person in the drawing until February 2012. Finally, Mahendra Mane responded to my email and we could send him the main prize. Just look at this sheer happiness:

Congratulations Mahendra! We’re happy we could end the contest as we had initially planned.

Naturally, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro also supports emails sent from iPad or iPhone (and any other mobile devices that can connect to Exchange 2007 or 2010) and can stamp branded auto-signatures and email disclaimers to them. Check out what else CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro can do for you and your email on Exchange.

CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro awardedWe have great news to share with you. Our flagship product, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro, has just received the Gold Award from the acknowledged Microsoft Exchange resource portal – MSExchange.org. The program was reviewed by a world-class Exchange Server expert, J. Peter Bruzzese (Microsoft Most Valuable Professional) and received the top rating from him.

In his in-depth review, J. Peter Bruzzese examined the product in every detail and was impressed with its overall functionality and simplicity. According to him, CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro perfectly filled the need of improving the Exchange Server’s build-in email management mechanism and even added more control to the mix. He was also astonished at how easy-to-use an intuitive the program was. We also like  this part of his review, which refers to our on-line documentation and video tutorials:

This is one of the few products that I have ever reviewed where I didn’t need any support from a human.

How to boost your marketing campaigns using fancy CodeTwo’s e-mail labels collection

As all marketers know, eye-catching images are sometimes more than compelling words. Keeping this in mind, our Marketing team prepared something special for CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro users. Once you are in the Template Editor in HTML preview, click on the Picture icon on the ribbon, select From Image Library … and enjoy a brand new collection of various icons and labels that are designed to help you attract attention of your email recipients. Below I present how to open the Image Library:

The program’s library offers images that can be used for many purposes:
- as auto-replies, when, e.g., a staff member is away or to confirm that you have received a client’s message;

- to stress an important information enclosed to your e-mail, such as a legal disclaimer;

- to promote products and spread the word of the hot seasonal offers.

And the last point probably draws your attention the most, since such a simple image added to your email may visibly increase your sales or website traffic. People get hundreds of emails every day. If they open them, it is a half of success, but then they just quickly scan its content. A vibrant image can be most likely to attract their attention rather than just a plain text or big aggressive font, usually associated with a typical spam. Besides, a stylish graphic added to you e-mail looks more neat and professionally.

To illustrate this theory, look below to compare a standard advertising e-mail with the one prepared in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro HTML editor, with a use of its reach library of images.
A plain commercial e-mail with text links:

An e-mail prepared in CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro with a clickable graphic:

Using the image library provided with CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro you can freely create beautiful email signatures with your contact details, logos and photos, as well as promotional banners, visual hyperlinks, greeting e-cards, random citations and professional autoresponders. See the new Image Library Manager below:

To make CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro even a more useful marketing tool, the program enables you to set time frames for each individual campaign. The function can be found in the Options Tab and it is called Rule Date Range. As you can see below, there are a few fields that you can complete according to your plan and then be sure that all promotional banners are sent in a right time

Since an e-mail is now one of the most popular means of business communication, the way you manage your correspondence gives a picture of your service quality. Do not let your company stay behind the technology wave. Equip yourself with a multi-functional program that has been created to let you administrate your e-mail in a professional way.

The quickest way to make professional email signatures for all employees

Over 100 professional email signatures, banners, labels and disclaimer images have been made accessible for free in a built-in library of CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro. What does it mean? It means simply that making beautiful and modern branding of your corporate electronic correspondence is now a matter of a few clicks and can be real fun!

Once you have created your rule in the administration panel of CodeTwo’s program, there are only 3 steps to make a professional email signature that can be automatically attached to all messages sent from your company’s mailboxes. In addition, it can contain names, contact details and even individual photos of each employee pulled from Active Directory.

Step 1: Find a proper action

Go to the Actions tab, click Add in the List of Actions and choose Insert disclaimer/signature. On the right hand side you can see two buttons: Options (a quick, handy function to define a position of your disclaimer – top, bottom, left or right) and the Edit template… . Click on the Edit template… button to open the Template Editor.

Step 2: Check-out the new library full of ideas

The Template Editor that facilitates CodeTwo Exchange Rules Pro has everything you need: it simple to use, rich in functions and contains an impressive library of fancy visual propositions prepared for your own use to help you establish your new, stylish e-mail branding. So even if you have to make everything from scratch and your mind goes blank as you do not know what to start with, a whole palette of lovely inspirations is already there. Simply click on the Library tab and go quickly through the list of various designs to select the one that best suits your needs (see some of the examples below).

Step 3: Use Template Editor to make your magic!

Ok, you have chosen something that looks pretty cool, but there are still no names of your company, employees’ phone numbers, e-mail addresses etc. Do not worry. Each of signatures contains Dynamic Fields that pull data, such as names, contact details and even photos from your Active Directory. They are marked with brackets: { } and can be easily edited in HTML, RTF or Plain Text preview. See below:

And that is it! The program will automatically add a customized signature to all e-mails sent by your company members specified in the Conditions tab. In the latest 1.2. version,  you can not only pull contact details kept in Active Directory to your signatures, but even add senders’ photographs.

If want to know more about creating and modifying your email signatures, there is an extensive knowledge base available on CodeTwo’s website, in user’s manual and other blog posts.
