2. What is Safe Newsletters
Safe Newsletters sends parents your
newsletter link via email. You can also include
in the email
● Custom messages
● Surveys
● Permission Forms
● Clickable Calendar Dates that are added to
Outlook
● Handy links back to your school website
3. How email is sent...
Email is sent to parents one at a time. In other words
parents never see each others email address...
The email does NOT contain the newsletter as an
attachment (that's the old school way)
The email contains a link to the newsletter on your website
OR...
The newsletter is uploaded the Safe Newsletters and we
send it for you.
4. How it works
Forget about MS Outlook.
Email addresses are stored in your Safe
Newsletters account.
Log into Safe Newsletters.
Add your newsletter.
Click Bulk Send.
Its that easy...
5. How reliable is Safe Newsletters?
We have always delivered email on time...
everytime.
Our data centre infrastructure allows us to send
email at lighting speed.
6. How long does it take to get setup
and staff trained?
Because there is nothing to download and
install... setup is literally a few minutes.
We give you a few lines of code to paste into
your website... and you're good to go. The
entire platform is web based. In other words...
everything is done inside a web browser.
Because the interface is so easy... there is
almost zero learning curve downtime.
7. Do we offer a hosted solution?
Yes.
This means you can upload your latest
newsletter as a PDF and we will keep it for
you... in other words we host it for you.
This is convenient if you're not so confident
uploading it to your own website. We do all the
clever stuff for you and make it super easy.
8. Can we export our email addresses?
Yes.
Sometimes it necessary to synchronise your
school systems.
Because we capture your parent email
addresses for you... it makes sense that you
can download them and add new addresses to
your own local school computer systems.
9. Can I bulk add parent email?
Yes.
You can add your existing email addresses into
Safe Newsletters and begin sending your
newsletters straightaway.
10. Can parents subscribe themselves
Yes.
Subscription is automated...
You still have complete control over all your
newsletter subscribers from your control panel.
You can add and delete manually too...
11. We use a double opt in method
This is where a confirmation email is sent to the
parent after they have filled in the subscription
form and they have to confirm their
subscription.
This reduces spam and adds an extra layer of
identity management to your email list
13. How to get started...
We give you a subscription form to add to your
website. Or you can just add a link...
14. Here's what a
typical parent
email might look
like...
School Header
Link to your School
Newsletter
Dates and Reminders
that can clicked and
added to an outlook
calendar
Linksback to your
school website
Unsubscribe links
15. Automate Your Newsletter Archive
Each time your
newsletter is
uploaded to
Safe
Newsletters... it's
automatically
added to your
school website...
No more website
maintenance...
16. Add your own distribution lists
You can have up to 15 distribution lists. Your
lists might be
● class groups
● sport groups
● instrumental music groups
● performing arts groups
17. Can I send emails only?
Yes.
Because the email list is dynamically updated,
it means that the email list is the most current
list you have.
Schools can send email only (without adding a
newsletter) to all parents using Safe
Newsletters.
