We have Over 17,000 Email Subscribers to our very popular free weekly appraiser email newsletter, sent out since 1994!!

About 35% of appraisers read their email on smart phones and other mobile devices (mostly smart phones). Your email ads will be  formatted so everyone can easily read your ads. No more teeny type and links!!

  • We do not use any rented lists. We use only subscribers to our free weekly email newsletter. All subscribers are pre-qualified as appraisers who want to find out what is happening and where to buy products and services. To see what our emails, and our ads, look like, go to our Newsletter archive (Note: email ads do not start with the word Newz)
  •  Open rates for the free email newsletter are 30-35%. Open rates for the ads are around 25-30%, depending on your product and ad copy, which is very high for email ads.
  • We send you full statistics on number received, number opened, and click throughs for your ad, including stats on all your links so you know how effective they are. We send them 2-3 days after they are sent.
  • When can ads be sent? Ads can be sent any day except Friday. We send our free email newsletter that day, and the ads sent that same day often have lower open rates.  Also, no ads sent on the first of the month, or  the next business day, when my paid newsletter is sent. Subscribers sometimes get confused ;>
  • Sorry, I can’t segment by location. I started my email newsletter in 1994 and was not able to do location info then, and I have never collected location information.
  • Payment terms: Typically in advance for first time advertisers. We can bill for corporate and large company advertisers.
  • Who sets up your email ads? Our Ad Tech, Christa Kasson custom codes your ads and makes sure they is readable on mobile devices from all types of email software. She receives your ad, sets it up, does any changes, and after your approval schedules your ad.

Your email ads are sent separate from the free weekly email newsletter, with  significantly higher response than banner ads!!

Format options for email ads

We work with Photoshop and Dreamweaver to layout the ads so we are very flexible. We do custom coded ads, to set them up for mobile devices so they can be easily read. No teeny type on smartphones ;>

For images, the best quality images are best.  We can adjust the size of any image in HTML/CSS.  The higher the quality the better for today’s retina display phones.  We cannot take a small image and increase its size, but we can take a large image and make it smaller without losing quality.  .jpg, .png are great for images that are photos or have a lot of detail.  .gifs are good for images that have minimal amount of detail and colors.

Email layout widths can be from 600px wide to 720px wide.  Length should not be too long.  In today’s fast-paced world, too much text is almost deleted immediately. Easy “Call-to-Action” elements like buttons with a brief description is better.

As for what we need, we can use a word document for the text or a simple email.  This allows us to cut and paste the text into the coded email. We would need a visual of what you want in the email if you already have an idea of the layout. Use whatever is comfortable for you to give to us just so we get a visual of what you want.  You can use Word, PDF, Excel, Photoshop, etc…

When we get a request from a client that does not specify colors or elements, we will refer to their website and match their branding.  Of course, you will get a proof of the email before it goes out so you can suggest any changes.
