If you’re always on the prowl for a good deal, don’t miss the four limited-time offers we’ve got going. They’re our way of showing off some of the new features and improvements we’ve made to Office Live Small Business. Just keep in mind that to take advantage of these offers, you need to be signed up for our service. (Of course that’s a deal in itself, since you can sign up for free.)
1. Test drive our new e-mail marketing service for free. E-mail Marketing beta lets you build, manage, and monitor e-mail and newsletter campaigns to build deeper relationships with your customers. You’ve got to hurry on this one, though. The free trial runs out on April 1, 2008. But until then, you can send up to 200 e-mail messages and it won’t cost you a penny.
· To get started, log into your account and click Promote Your Business on the left side of your screen, and then E-mail Marketing Beta.
2. Try our new e-commerce/eBay tool for free. Store Manager allows you to easily set up and customize your own online storefront and conveniently sell products on eBay. If you activate the service before April 1, 2008, you can get your first month for free and the next six months of service at a reduced price of $29.95 a month.
· To get started, log into your account and click Sell Online on the left side of your screen.
3. Get a free custom domain name for free. Once you get a Web site up and running, you’re going to want a custom domain – or Web address – that reflects your business name or the products you sell. It should also be easy to remember like www.wingtoys.com or www.cohowinery.com. If you register a custom domain name with us now, you’ll get your first 12 months free– and that includes private registration and 100 business email addresses. The price is just $14.95 a year after that.
· To get started, log into your account and click Add/Manage Services on the left side of your screen, and then Web Site and E-mail and then next to Domains, click sign up.
4. Try search marketing for free. Our adManager tool helps you reach customers looking for the products or services you sell by placing your text-based keyword ads on some of today’s leading search engines, including MSN Live Search, Ask.com and Excite.com. And you only pay when your ad is clicked. To get you going, we’ll give you $50 in ad credits.
· To get started, log into your account and click Promote Your Business on the left side of your screen, and then adManager.
See you online,
