Roxen Internet Software

Dear Roxen customer,

I'm happy to send you this very first Roxen Newsletter. The idea with a Roxen Newsletter is simply to better inform you on new available features and modules, what's going on at Roxen, company events and other things that we believe matters to you as a Roxen user. For example, the date is set for the next Roxen User Conference –  September 18-19 in Stockholm. Read about the event below. We intend to distribute this Newsletter on a quarterly basis. I hope to see you at the User Conference, but by then you should have received at least one additional Roxen Newsletter.

Staffan Ekholm, CEO

We are currently offering the all new Blog module bundled with the Category module. The Category module expands the use of the Blog module enabling the categorization of Blog posting in various topics. Integrated, useful and powerful. Contact Roxen Sales for pricing.

Roxen's Newsletter module was released already in 2007. The module is smoothly integrated directly into the page editing environment, letting you create Newsletters just like normal pages – easy to use and yet very powerful.One Roxen customer uses it to distribute Newsletters to approximately 150.000 recipients every day! And of course, this Newsletter was created with the Roxen Newsletter module!

Features:

• Newsletters are created with the built-in page editor and by adding standard page components. All actions and settings related to the newsletter are handled in a new tab in the editor toolbar.
• Sent newsletter will remain as web pages in the site so users can browse them at any time.
• Possibility of double opt-in (user gets welcome e-mail but needs to actively confirm subscription) plus opt-out.
• Test sending of newsletter to custom addresses.
• XML configuration file for defining one or more lists in a site.
• Page components for adding subscribers to a particular list.
• RXML tags for subscribing, confirming and unsubscribing a user. This will enable web developers to import existing e-mail addresses from their own databases or other sources of information.
• Choice of scheduled sending or instant sending.
