Happy St. Patrick’s Day, everyone. We know many of you are at work this year, but know we too are knee-deep in the hustle and bustle of another Monday at the office. We told you on Friday that we were rolling out a new update over the weekend, and this afternoon we can finally fill you in on what’s new at Haulix HQ.
Starting today, every time a client sends new promotional invitations they will be able to view the recipient list for that invitation via their Dashboard. Simply click the linked number of recipients and a pop-up opens with a list of who the recipients were.
Here is an example:
This update is only one of many we have planned for the months ahead. If you have any questions regarding our services, or if you would like a tour of the Haulix platform, please email james@haulix.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
Hello and welcome to the final work week Haulix blog update. We recently moved to a seven-day posting style, but we still reserve Friday afternoons as a time for company updates and content reflection. This edition is particularly lengthy, so settle in now and prepare to be wowed. If you have any questions regarding the content of this blog, or if you would like to learn more information about the services offered by Haulix, please email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.
Starting off with the topic that may very well have inspired you to click the link that brought you to this post, we are thrilled to announce our mobile platform is finally ready for launch. Our plan is to release the update later this evening, which will immediately allow journalists worldwide to stream promos on their smartphones for the first time ever. Keep an eye on our Twitter for updates on the official launch, and stay tuned for a complete walkthrough to appear on the blog later this weekend.
Mobile is not the only news we have to discuss this week. In addition to rolling out that long-awaited feature, we recently pushed out a new email engine. This is probably the biggest improvement we’ve made to the system in years. In the past, 10,000 email invitations would of taken 3-4 hours to go out – sending out small batches every 4 minutes or so. Now, we can do 10,000 in about 60 seconds! Isn’t technology wild?
On the blog end of things, the past seven days have been a whirlwind of interviews and preparation. We introduced a brand new column (How To Kill Your Band), and made progress on several upcoming features that will be revealed in the weeks ahead. We also made this:
(*Cough Cough* It’s a clue *Cough Cough*)
In case you missed anything on the blog this week, a link to every post since Saturday can be found below. We’ll be back tomorrow with an in-depth interview you will not want to miss.
Greetings, everyone! If you’re reading this when it’s released then you’ve survived another week in the office and only have a few short hours to go until the weekend arrives. If you’re reading this at any other time just disregard the last sentence.
We’ve had a fantastic first week of December and hope the same can be said for all of you. From progress on new projects, to content on our blog, things have been moving very quickly in recent days. The aim of this column is to update you on everything new, and this week we have something big to share:
Every time you send an email using our state-of-the-art messaging system we track that content and relay the journey it took to you. This means every message that was delivered, opened, bounced, or dropped is recorded, and that data is then made available for you to use as you see fit. We can even tell you if people unsubscribe to your messaging!
All of that email tracking information can be managed from your Invitation Activity screen. (The link only works if you currently have an account with Haulix)
Emails can bounce and/or otherwise not reach their intended destination for a number of reasons. For example, the person you are trying to reach may not have any space available in their inbox, or they may have changed their address without telling you. If an email does Bounce or the contact Unsubscribes, Haulix will obey those results and not send to that contact anymore. You don’t have to do a thing.
Everyone manages contacts in their own way, but it is highly recommended that you review and clean out your contact list on a regular bassi. Periodically visit your Invitation Activity screen and examine when/if your content is being received. If there are invalid email address-related bounces or drops, then remove that contact from your list. To do that, click the pink row to expand it:
Next, click the “delete contact permanently” link.
Please note: If this was an Unsubscribe or a Bounce and you would like to give the contact another chance to receive invitations, then you would click the “delete from _____ list” link.
Outside of this advancement, we’re continuing to move forward with our planned mobile platform. We’ll have more news on that development sometime in the weeks ahead.
On the blog end of things, content is an addiction. We released a number of lengthy interviews this week, as well as the first in a multi-part series on proper YouTube optimization. You can find a quick guide to the week’s posts below:
That pretty much wraps up life at Haulix HQ for the week. If you have any questions about services, please do not hesitate to email james@haulix.com and share your thoughts. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook
Hello, everyone. If you’re reading this it means you survived another week of work or school and the weekend is just a few short hours away. Yes, it’s Friday once more, and we have a nice little recap ready to help wrap up the week.
The holiday season is well under way, but before we get tied up in presents and decorations we still have a lot we hope to accomplish at Haulix HQ. The development of our mobile platform continues, and earlier this week testing began on various mobile devices. We’re not quite ready to announce a launch date just yet, but know it’s likely coming sooner than you expect.
In addition to moving forward on that project, we recently unveiled a new, in-depth description of everything offered through our ‘Email Invitation Activity Screen.’ By following this link, you can learn about how Haulix is working to help you better understand who receives your promos, who opens them, who uses them, and which accounts are dead or otherwise inactive. There’s a lot of information there, so we recommend setting aside 10-minutes or so to properly dive into the material.
Onto the blog…
The past few days on our blog have been some of our favorite to date. From the two interviews posted, both of which offer unique perspectives on life in the business, to the ‘Advice’ columns, we’re extremely proud of the content we’ve posted. We know not everyone has time in their daily schedule to see what we’re up to, so below you will find a list of links to each of the week’s stories:
That pretty much wraps up our coverage for this week. We have a couple special surprises in store next week, but that’s all the information I’m allowed to share with you at this time. Have a great weekend and make sure to stop back by the blog on Monday. If you have any questions or concerns over the weekend, email james@haulix.com. We can also be found on Twitter and Facebook.
