IMPORTANT! EVERYONE PLEASE READ!

Many of us are planning on sharing our Mailing Lists. It benefits us all! Please email to be included.

FROM JINNANDTONICS

Greetings,

We have started the email marketing process to alert our buyers of the ebay changes, we have included as many of your site links as we could locate, if you did not submit yours to us and want to be included please contact us at jinnandtonics@yahoo.com

Furthermore, we have included the most popular eCommerce sites that everyone seems to be going towards. The professional marketing company we are using will collect the buyer click through rates giving us some indication of which sites the buyers are interested in going to. We are more than happy to publicly post these reports on the blog to share the data with you. This will help you see which stores are getting the buyers traffic. As we do these marketing plans over the next six weeks you should experience an increase of buyers to your locations, since we will continue to help push buyers to all the sellers without discrimination. If you are not sharing your urls links you may be missing out on free help from the community to boost your sales.

If you prefer to do your own marketing, not a problem, just a recommendation, we are using the online company Vertical Response.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us. Blessings

Greetings All,

(Thank you for the offer, but we are NOT accepting donations, we want this to be a community service and we are volunteering, there is no motive here other than it is the ethical thing to do for the survival of us all).

I'm happy to help. Just a note, our mailing  list of 2,000 is generating some traffic to everyone's links, even though it has been less than 24hrs. It is not an instant result, marketing is a process that builds upon itself, so if you don't notice any changes yet, do not panic. We have only just begun. I wanted to offer some basics about how it works to those who may not be heavily involved in marketing. 

Giants like Google, Yahoo, and Bing have software to block spam from people's mail. They do this automatically, without you knowing to protect you. However, this means we must establish our sending from email addy as "approved" so these sites let our newsletters and messages through. 

There are a few things that make this happen. Send emails that ask the client to reply to you. (if they reply its a green light for your mail to get through)  Not hitting your limits on sending out mail. Not sending too large of lists all at once in the same email. Sending to email addresses that you have a history of communicating with. For your mail contacts this will not be an issue.

Note: if you are forwarding our newsletter and clients are replying with "meta offer" separate those contacts email addresses or move the replies to a separate folder, these are buyers of yours who actively want to buy from you at the sales scheduled from Aug 30th through Sept. This is important to forward communication about your sales specifically to them.

However, many of you have clients that purchased through paypal, and messaged you though ebay, but never contacted you through your mail server address (gmail, hotmail, or other). We can still access these customers because we have a history with them so it does not violate the spam laws. However, you need to get these address out of your paypal account (link with instructions: http://www.clovercitysells.com/ebook/csv-export.pdf  ) then you need to mail these customers. Because they are not in your email contact lists, if you send these people emails along with lots of others at the same time, you can trigger the Gmail, Bing, and Yahoo spam filters. This means the messages you are sending and all the effort you are giving is never being seen. These emails go straight to spam.

If you are not sure if your clients are getting your mail, we highly recommend you consider using an online email marketing program for your lists. Its fairly easy, not too expensive, and gives you info in return to tell you if the mail is received and opened, are they clicking your link to the store, and how many are unopened. Many times the time of day and day of the week effects the outcome. If your message hits their box at peak hours for marketing campaigns, it gets buried, they never see it, it never gets opened. These online programs can group your lists into sections to easily resend it to the ones not opened for a second chance. (WE WILL BE DO THIS WITH THE LATE SELLER LINK ADDITIONS) This allows yours links to be seen asap. We will also include them in future mailings.

Here is the link to the company we are using, free to sign up and 100 free mail sends, lots of video tutorials and good support team. If you sign up under this referral you get 500 free sent emails, and we get $40 in email sends as well. Which we will use to push more traffic to your sites. LINK: http://bit.ly/NW7FIU.

If you do not have the time or do not want to do your own lists, we are happy to keep sending out promos to get your store links out there which you can forward, just try to use the forward to a friend link to avoid getting your own email address blocked as a spammer. 

If you want us to send your lists, we will do that too we will send it in a separate mailing, with your store name as the from address so your clients know it is from you, (we will not use your lists ever in the future for our own mailings... We would be considered a third party and it would be a spam violation, without your buyer's permission. NOT WORTH IT) We are not experts at this, we just researched it. But, we are working diligently to get the traffic pushed towards your stores. The more lists that get notified the better. If you do not want to share your lists due to privacy, we are absolutely ok with that too. We will be happy to work with anyone who needs help in what ever way you want to do that. This is only about getting the community traffic off ebay and back on you. We are trying our bests to be as open and transparent as possible here.

We have attached the reports of our email newsletter traffic, so you can see the results. The graph shows a little over half are still unopened. It also shows a high click through rate, this means many people who opened it are clicking the links. So, it is effectively getting them to your stores. This will increase as we engage the buyers with more incentives to go to your stores, like Big Sales. We are very open to your suggestions, and input. Especially regarding the blitz sales, what do you want to offer the buyers, and when? If you see any gaps in our efforts or ways we can improve please speak up, this is about helping us all. Please contact us if you have any questions. Blessings, Tiffany

	(THIS IS A DRAFT EMAIL) Please review and test links for edit or approval contact jinnandtonics@yahoo.com before  August 20, 2012 Ebay to Ban Magick on Aug. 30th  How to Locate Sellers Ebay Fall Seller Updates for 2012 will be going into effect on Aug. 30th: Items that will be prohibited include: advice; spells; curses; hexing; conjuring; magic services; prayers; blessings; Psychic, Tarot, Reiki, and other metaphysical readings & services; magic potions; healing sessions; work from home businesses & information; wholesale lists, and drop ship lists.  Discontinued categories: Metaphysical: Psychic, Paranormal > Readings Metaphysical: Psychic, Paranormal > Spells, Potions Metaphysical: Tarot Readings You will no longer be able to purchase your metaphysical items from many of your favorite sellers on ebay. Violations of the ebay policy can result in seller account suspension or termination. For this reason many sellers are forced to change their item descriptions to not include the prohibited items or references to their intangible properties.  This means sellers on ebay can no longer sell you items with spells, spirits, or powers. Although ebay has not banned other mainstream religious items, it will no longer allow: NO Djinn, NO Demon, NO Dragon, not even a tiny fairy. Some see this as religious discrimination. The issues have stirred the community and have been reported by many national news sites. There is a petition to stop ebay from banning the psychics. You can support your favorite sellers by signing the petition anonymously.

We were blessed by the bounty of your shoppers, we met lovely friends, and we grew wise in the online market. Although you have chosen to destroy our ability to be a Metaphysical seller on your site, you have in fact, done something greater than you can imagine. You have helped us evolve and unite as a spiritual community. You have strengthened our beliefs. Your intolerance has honored our religions by allowing us to show you just how capable we are at overcoming obstacles. You've pushed us into new markets where we have met even more new friends who celebrate love and light. You have renewed our spirit of survival, sparking an excitement. We are not sad; we are not hurt; we are not scared; we are not shaken; we are not defeated by your hate. We are blessed by our beliefs. We are grateful for your failed attack. We are encouraged by the love being shown to us from all over the world by those with religious tolerance. Many big corporate markets try to destroy the little folk. What you fail to understand is the size of our strength, when we unite hand in hand. Ebay, we are blessed, and loved by many. We receive that which we give, and we have open hearts, and open hands. We invite any and all to take our hands, share our hearts, and discover the blessings with us. Change is here! The metaphysical sellers want to thank our clients for being a part of our lives and for all the love you have shown us over the years. You are the reason we are here. Brightest Blessings!
