Interspire Email Marketer introduced an new feature in version 8.4.0, which allows you to display the latest campaign sent to a list directly on your website. This feature is a great way to keep your audience engaged and up to date by showing them your most recent newsletter on your website. And this can be done automatically with a one time setup.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how to set up and display your latest newsletter on your website.
Why Display Your Latest Newsletter?
Displaying your latest newsletter on your website has several benefits:
- Increased Visibility: Your latest content is immediately visible to all your website visitors.
- Enhanced Engagement: Visitors can stay up-to-date with your latest news and updates directly from your website.
- Improved User Experience: Providing easy access to your newsletters can improve the overall user experience on your site.
Interspire has long been able to display a feed of all your newsletters. Now, with this new feature, you can highlight your latest newsletter, ensuring your visitors see your most current updates.
Step-by-Step Guide to Display Your Latest Newsletter
Follow these simple steps to configure and display your latest newsletter on your website:
1. Obtain Your List ID
Before you can display your latest campaign, you need to know the ID of the list to which the campaign was sent. You can find this ID in your Interspire Email Marketer account under the Lists section.
2. Create the Link
Once you have your List ID, you need to create a link on your website that points to the latest campaign. Use the following format for your link:
<a href="https://<hostname>/<installation_directory>/display-last.php?List=<list_ID>">View Our Latest Newsletter</a>
Replace <hostname>
with your domain name and <installation_directory>
with the directory where Interspire Email Marketer is installed. Replace <list_ID>
with the ID of your list.
For example, if your domain is example.com
, your installation directory is email_marketer
, and your list ID is 123
, your link would look like this:
<a href="https://example.com/email_marketer/display-last.php?List=123">View Our Latest Newsletter</a>
If you want the newsletter to open in a new tab when clicked, add the target=”_blank” attribute to your link.
3. Add the Link to Your Website
Finally, add the link to your website’s HTML where you want the latest newsletter to be displayed. This could be in your sidebar, footer, or any other prominent location.
Best Practice: Create a Specific List for Website Display
To streamline the process, it is a best practice to create a specific list in Interspire Email Marketer solely for the purpose of website display.
When sending out a campaign, include this special list along with all the other lists you are targeting. This way, you can consistently point your website link to this list without needing to change the List ID every time you send a new campaign to a different set of subscribers. This approach ensures that your website visitors always see the most up-to-date newsletter.
Conclusion
Displaying your latest newsletter on your website is a simple yet effective way to keep your audience engaged and informed. By following the steps outlined above, you can easily integrate this feature into your website and provide visitors with immediate access to your latest campaigns.
