Why KVN Mail for Email Marketing?
KVN Mail’s email marketing uses the Internet to communicate information about promotions, company offerings, product updates and more. It is a valuable dialogue between a prospective or current customer and a company. KVN Mail’s email marketing is most effective when the recipients are targeted and the information is relevant and timely.
Why would I use Email Marketing?
KVN Mail’s email marketing is more cost effective, and achieves results faster than traditional direct mail marketing. Most importantly, email marketing is twice as effective as traditional direct mail in getting a response from the targeted audience. This may be because of its immediate call-to-action, through “buy now” or “sign up now” links that can be directly embedded in the message. It is ideal for anyone looking to increase revenue, boost sales, generate leads, build brand awareness or shorten sale cycles.
Can my business benefit from online newsletters and special promos?
eMarketer estimates that in 2022 there are 5 billion email users, representing 89% of total internet users. Given the low cost and high impact value of email marketing, there are no businesses that would not benefit from tapping this market.
How do I start email marketing?
Start your email campaign with existing customers and grow your contact list by encouraging recipients to forward your message to others. Include a subscribe button on your Website and ask prospective customers if you can send your newsletter to them. Make sure your collateral includes a reference to your newsletter and consider running a promotion or give away to generate interest. Your list will grow faster than you would have believed.
Are stored newsletters, images and mailing lists secured?

How do I upgrade my account from a Demo Account to an Active account?
Once you have registered your demo account, you will get an email with access details to your registered email id. In doing so you agree to our Terms and Conditions and agree to get KVN Mail services as per CAN SPAM Act
Why can not my recipients see my images?
In KVN Mail, images are not embedded in the email. Newsletters have code that points to the images, which either reside in your KVN Mail pictures folder or on another website, according to your preference. When a recipient opens the email, the newsletter calls the image externally, and it is downloaded to the recipient’s computer. If the recipient is not online, they will see a broken link.
Why are people not getting my emails?
Unfortunately, no email service can guarantee 100% delivery. People change email addresses when they move or leave jobs, auto responders are set up when people are on vacation and spam filters trap messages before they arrive based on key words and phrases in the content. Industry averages for delivery rates are 30-40% for business to business newsletters and 10-15% for consumer newsletters according to our customers. Your message content and your relationship with your list (whether or not they white listed you in their email client) also have a lot to do with successful delivery. With KVN Mail, you are able to see exactly who has opened which email over time and work on improving your open rates. Without a similar tool, you never have any idea who is receiving the email
How do I know if emails that I sent out were actually opened?
KVN Mail provides statistics of sent newsletters and reports the percentage of emails opened per mailshot, how many were sent, how many website click throughs were generated, and who clicked on what links and who actually opened the email. We even enable you to generate or export these addresses as a separate list so that you can target your users based on their click behaviour.
What is a hard-bounce?
A hard bounce is an email message that has been returned to you because the recipient’s address is invalid. A hard bounce might occur because the domain name does not exist, the recipient is unknown, or there is a network problem on the recipient’s end.
What is a soft-bounce?
A soft bounce is an email message that gets as far as the recipient’s mail server, but is bounced back before it reaches the recipient. One of the most common causes for a soft bounce is a full mailbox. This will happen A LOT with your subscribers who use free email services like Yahoo and Hotmail, because they allow for very little email storage.
Does KVN Mail CC (carbon copy) or BCC (blind carbon copy) emails sent to multiple recipients?
No, when sending, each newsletter is addressed and sent individually. This is much more effective. When people see a single stock phrase in the “To” field of the received email, they usually associate it with SPAM.
Can I personalize the emails or use different subject lines?
Yes, we offer a range of personalization functions. You can address the emails to individuals, based on fields you set up in datasets managed in the Manage Subscriber Info area. You can also personalize the subject with a data field representing each individual recipient, such as their name.

Yes, scheduled sends are part of KVN Mail’s functionality. They can be sent by hours and days, up to a year ahead.
Can the recipients name appear in the TO field?
The TO field has to contain an email address. If you want to add the recipient’s name, use our customise tool.
Can cancel an email once it is sitting in the queue to be sent?
No, only scheduled emails can be cancelled. If an email is sent immediately then the sending cannot be cancelled. Make sure your email is correct before sending it.
Can I include social media updates when I send a message?

These can be sent instantly with the message or at a scheduled later time. You have to add social media icons manually, you can also add facebook “Likes’ to your messages to increase traffic and market visibility.
Can I add attachments to my email newsletters?
Yes, a download link to the file from your email will be almost the same thing as an attachment. It is also much more likely to get through corporate firewalls. In the editor position your cursor and then choose the Internal Link button (next to the table symbol). Upload your attachment to the Images folder – now select it in the list by clicking the ‘Select’. Enter your link text (e.g. Download it here) and click OK.
