Octeth.com is completely redesigned

Hi Everyone,

For the last few weeks, we were working on the re-design/re-development of our new Octeth.com corporate website. Finally, it’s completed and we opened our new website yesterday. Take a look at it at www.octeth.com

Our new website has great improvements on client area, shopping cart/checkout process and product pages.

Client area is now easier to use and find the right thing. Shopping cart and checkout process is simpler and takes less time to complete. And product pages are more targeted and includes screen casts. Take a look at Oempro’s Feature Tour page at http://www.octeth.com/products/oempro/featuretour.php.

In the following days, we will continue improving our website. We will keep you updated through here.

Email Marketing Teleseminar for oemPro Users

Jason Handerson

Can you make it to a free teleseminar about email marketing on Monday, February 12th? I have persuaded email marketing expert, Jason Henderson of Big Marketing, to give Octeth clients the best he has on email marketing during this teleseminar. He has been doing email marketing for himself and various clients since 1996. Had Al Gore even invented the internet before 1996. ;)

Who is Jason Henderson? He just happens to be the guy secretly consulting with Octeth behind the scenes to bring you many cool features in oemPro. Some of them are so phenomenal that we haven’t had a chance to add them yet. When I asked Jason what he was going to cover, he said “Whatever Octeth clients want me to cover.” He showed me the teleseminar registration page, and I thought what a great idea. You get to ask your biggest question on email marketing when registering. Once you register, more questions can asked before and during the teleseminar.

Jason gave me a list of possible subjects for you to consider:

- Deliverability, getting more emails to your subscribers, spam filters.
- Design, Html vs Text, etc.
- List building, getting more subscribers.
- Sales, how to make more money from your list.
- Relationship building, getting your subscribers to know and trust you.
- Best practices, email marketing standards to get the most out of your list.

Not only will you get phenomenal email marketing information specific to users of oemPro, but there will be prizes and special announcements as well. You could win a free copy of oemVoteIt, oemSurveyManager or oemSMS, our latest $189 plug-in that allows sending messages to cell phones. All attendees on this call will receive a special discount not available to anyone else on all Octeth products.

Space on this teleseminar is limited, so you need to act fast. To ask your question and register, turn up your computer speakers and click here.

Simply enter your most important question about email marketing
Type your first name
Type your primary email address
Click the button, “Here’s My Question >>“.

If you can’t think of a question, just enter your first name and primary email address.

The telephone number and code to get on the call will be on the next screen. Please follow Jason’s instructions on making sure updates can be sent to you. He will be sending updates, an outline, and more. The number may change if we need to get a different service that can handle more callers. This invitation is going to well over 10,000 people, so the possibility of the number changing is high.

To the right is Jason with Stefan Tornquist, research director of MarketingSherpa, and Anne Holland, president of MarketingSherpa. Jason will be attending their annual Email Summit again this year which will probably lead to even more work for us at Octeth implementing all his new ideas.

We welcome it because you will benefit from it just like you will from attending this teleseminar. Please register now before the teleseminar is full.

P.S. Don’t forget about all the prizes, discounts, and special announcements that will be revealed on the call.

P.P.S. I will be on the call too, so I will talk to you then. This will be my first teleseminar, so I am very excited.

Best regards,
Cem Hurturk
