E-mail Awareness Campaign

[KateC]

Anyone up for a "CDH E-mail Awareness Campaign" ??

I recieve a lot of forwards and I keep getting an e-mail for an Autism Awareness. Now I have got it like 3 times. This last time I was like "Omigosh how many times am I going to get this thing . . ." Just as I was about to delete it, the light bulb in my brain turned on. If I can get that e-mail that many times, we should try it for CDH!!

I am going to start working on a heart string tugging e-mail. It is not going to be packed of information, I do not want to overload people's minds. Just enough that they need to know about CDH, how there is no cause and we need to prevent this from happening, along with a link to CHERUBS and probably our ribbon. Can someone tell me how to add a link on a picture? So they can just click on the picture and it will bring them to CHERUBS?

I am going to try to use some pictures, now if I have your permission, let me know. Do not be offended if I do not use them. I have ideas in my head, but I do not know if they can reach my fingers to actually work out.

If you would like to be included in the initial e-mail I send out, let me know!!! PM, Email or post your address.

What I am thinking is when I send the e-mail out, at the bottom, I will put In Memory of Shannon. When you recieve the e-mail, and you forward it, make sure to put In memory/In honor of and your cherub's name.

I will leave this post up for about a week maybe two, so then people can read it. In that time, I will start working on a gorgeous e-mail!! I will let everyone know before I send the e-mail out. Send it to everyone in your e-mail address! Make sure to tell family and friends to do the same when they get it!! Can you even imagine world wide how many people could get this e-mail?? I know a lot of people LOVE to do those forwards!!!

E-mail Awareness Campaign, here we come!!!

Please add me to the e-mail lljune@optonline.net
Im sure you have enough, but feel free to use my pics.

[KateC]

Thank you all - I'm keeping a list going of e-mails.

I am wondering if maybe I did a short video and link it in the e-mail?? Do you think that would be better? I wanted to link CHERUBS YouTube site in also. Then maybe a short message in the e-mail. Like a spread the word sort of thing? What do you guys think?

Anyone know how I can stick a picture of the ribbon in the e-mail, but so that people click on it and it will link back to CHERUBS?

[TaniaSmythe]

Just having a play around with my email to see how to do it. It may depend on your email, i am using incredimail and i'll let you know if it works.
If you want Kate you can use the mini version that i made and i can change the credits for you so that it is in loving memory of Shannon instead.
Let me know what you think

[TaniaSmythe]

Right i have managed to work it out on my email.
Go to your signature and click insert picture, choose the one you want and click save.
Then click on the picture and then click on the hyperlink and you should be able to type in your web address that you want and then you pretty much just save your signature.
As you can tell that is instructions for an email signature but ia ma sure it will work the same way for an actual email (preggie moment as i thought you wanted it for your signature lol).
Hope this helps

[KimberlySwitzer]

oh please include me too!! My email is kimberlyrae_20@hotmail.com

[JudiToth]

Just a reminder about the e-mail campaign. I am about 80% done w/ a video for an e-mail to send out. I need to know if you would like to be included and if you would like your cherub's picture to be used. We'll give this until hmmmm . . . Sunday.

[DanielleGolding]

[KimberlySwitzer]

Im not getting the video in the email you sent me...would it just be my email blocking it?

[Donna Easley]

Kate-That was so beautiful. Thank you so much, you did a wonderful job. Whenever you have time I would like a copy of the email to forward on.

[TaniaSmythe]

Kate, that video was beautiful.

[DanielleGolding]

Great video Kate! Well done! Like Kim, I'm not getting it in my email either...

[Corin Nava]

[DanielleKessner]

Great job Kate - perfect :-)

Shaz, are you going to send it out to the Aussies members?

[Damon andSharonknott]

You read my mind...
just sat down to send you an email about this!
Do you want me to send to ALL families??

[DanielleKessner]

Sounds good :-)

[DanielleGolding]

Hey Shaz, could you please send me another one pretty please???? Ta!

[Keith and LynetteMoloney]

Kate the video is absolutely beautiful, breathtaking. I am so honored that you put Ethans picture in. Its funny because when I see things that he is in, or write in a journal, or make a garden for him, any thing to remember him by, It truly helps me. Sometimes I feel like I am in a bubble and it didn't really happen. But these little things remind me of the 23 precious blessing I had with him. Sorry I went off on a tangent, but Thank you for adding another blessing.

[StephanieOlivarez]

Kate-
The video is wonderful! It of course brought tears to my eyes.
CDH is such a horrible birth defect and to be able to get the well needed awareness out there---IS SO SO SO VERY WORTH IT.
Thank you for taking the time to do this Kate.
This e-mail video will get to SO many---CDH Awareness will get out there.
One person at a time.
Just such a great feeling to know that we ALL will get it out there TOGETHER!!
Group hug.

[karahess]

Oh poopers, I didn't see and comprehend this topic till tonight. I missed out : ( Wish I would have seen it so I could have gotten Adam's pic into you. Kate you did a grand job.

[Donna Easley]

Kate- I feel so honored to have Alex in the video. Thank you for sending the email, but I'm not getting the video with it. Help!

[KateC]

I am so sorry, I was having problems getting on here and my email. I don't know why but it sent the link to some people and did not for others?? I am going to resend it to everyone, so if you already got the e-mail and it worked, just erase it!! I know my e-mail blocked the picture of the ribbon and I had to enable links for the message? Maybe see if your email is doing something nutty like that when you get it?

Kara - did you want me to e-mail it to you?? I am keeping a copy of it, so whoever wants the e-mail I will send it to.

Corin, did you get yours? I think I emailed it from my home address yesterday?

[KateC]

Okay I resent it from my home e-mail KTJ24@aol.com. Maybe that will do something different . . . . . keep your fingers crossed!!

[Donna Easley]

Thanks Kate-I got it.

[Corin Nava]

I got it Kate and forwarded it on! It looks great!

[KateC]

That's great, I am happy it worked for you all and glad you liked it!!

[sarah.deskins]

Oh poopers, I didn't see and comprehend this topic till tonight. I missed out : ( Wish I would have seen it so I could have gotten Adam's pic into you. Kate you did a grand job.

I missed it, too! I'm usually all over these things! :roll:
Its great, Kate! I'm sending it out now!

[KateC]

I can still send you the e-mail Sarah. Whats your email address?

[sarah.deskins]

Corin sent me the email the day before yesterday, I meant that I missed out on getting Jeremiah on the video. this topic's only been up for like 2 months and I never opened it :)
