Billing and Payment Information

How do I pay for the newsletter?

We have an ALL ELECTRONIC payment system.  We accept only credit cards and debit/check cards for payments.

The Mini newsletter is $20 (with a $15 set up fee).  The set up fee is non-refundable if you cancel the service.

Your credit card will be charged on the 1st of each month

Is there a long-term contract?

No, you can cancel your service at anytime.  However, we do ask for notice by the 1st of the month prior to publishing if you are planning to cancel. Once your card has been charged, however, no refund will be given.  Please cancel prior to the 1st of the month.

Information for the Newsletter

About my first newsletter, how does that work?

You will receive your newsletter each month by the 10th of the month complete with reports.  Once you return your 2 pages of content, your newsletter is complete.

How can I get information to you for the newsletter?

Your information must be emailed in the form of a Microsoft Word, Microsoft Publisher or Adobe Acrobat file. 

How are reports included?

We will download and include the New Consultant, Wholesale and Birthday/Anniversary reports.

I don't want my report information to be included.  Can my information be excluded when reports are posted?

No.  That option is only available on the No-Brainer, Touchless and Customized newsletters.

Can you show just names and not amounts for the wholesale listing?

No. That option is only available on the No-Brainer, Touchless and Customized newsletters.

Do you only provide an electronic copy of the newsletter?

I provide you a copy of your newsletter in Adobe Acrobat.  This copy can be printed by you and mailed, or forwarded to your unit through email.

Pictures in the Newsletter

Can I have consultant photos in the newsletter?

Not in the portion of the newsletter we provide, but you can include whatever content, including photos, on your pages 4 and 5 sent in as a Word, Publisher or Adobe Acrobat document.

What about my photo for the front of the newsletter?

Many Directors use their official photo with the Director suit.  Others use a favorite photo.  You decide.

Revisions

How many revisions do I have to complete the newsletter?

Administrative Issues

When do I get my newsletter?

  • You will receive your newsletter by the 10th of each month.
  • Once you return your content for your 2 free pages, your newsletter is complete.
  • You can expect your newsletter no later than 72 hours after you send in your content for the 2 free pages, (excluding Sunday and Holidays).

Must I complete a newsletter each month?

Our service is monthly.  However, you can choose to skip a newsletter once every 12 months and remain active.

Is there a deadline to complete my newsletter?

  • Newsletter production is over EVERY month on the 23rd (with exceptions for Thanksgiving and Christmas). Notices will be provided of an alternate date in these cases.
  • To get a completed newsletter, all updates and changes must be received by 9:30 p.m. CST on the 23rd to be worked on.
  • However, there is a one-time exception each month that you can utilize for a $20 fee.  You'll be allowed only one $20 after-the-deadline revision each month.
  • After the deadline on the 23rd, you can send ONE EMAIL with information to complete your newsletter UNTIL the 25th of the month.
  • You'll be asked by email to verify that you do want to have the $20 applied to your card and that verification must be returned by email before the 25th.
  • Once verification is received, we'll process your card and work on the newsletter as we have time (as we may be off on vacation, etc.).
  • Because we may be on vacation during the last week of the month, any after-the-deadline requests do not have a set time as to when they will be returned to you. However, all will be completed by the 30th of the month and sent back as final.
     

Do you keep past editions of my newsletter?

No. Once we start on a new edition, the other one is overwritten.

Can you email the completed newsletter to members of my unit?

No.  

Will you copy and mail my newsletter to members of my unit?

No, not as part of this service. 

Once I sign up for this newsletter and then want to switch to another version in the future, will I have to pay another set up fee?

Yes because each newsletter takes time to set up with your information and changing the billing, your records, etc.  Time in doing these tasks is why there is a set up fee.

Referrals

Do you give a discount for referring other Directors to your service?

Absolutely. You will receive a $10 credit applied to your credit card immediately! 

To earn the credit . . .

  • The person named as the referral must be a current customer using our newsletter or Virtual Assistant service.
  • If you are already a customer of a one of our services, and are signing up for another service, no referral credit can be given as you'll already be aware of all the service we offer.
  • You must not be a return customer of the any service (newsletter, Virtual, etc.).  Meaning you previously used the service, are are now returning for that service or another we currently have.

How will I know when a director I have referred uses the services?

First, make sure she indicates on the Sign Up form that you referred her.  Then, you will see a credit on your credit card statement for $10 for the referral.  If you'd like to know the director that referral is for, email us!

But if she doesn't fill that in at the time she signs up, and you find out later that I referred her, will I get credit?

No, unfortunately.  So make sure she mentions you at sign up!

Newsletter Extras

Do you have a portfolio of items you've created for Directors like fliers or postcards that I can use for examples of items in my newsletter?

  • Yes.  It is called the Director's Brochure
  • It is a compilation of items that I have designed for Directors or designed on my own to offer to Directors which I feel others can benefit
  • I compiled them into categories and as new items are included and this can be accessed online.
  • This way, you do not have to "think" of a good promotion or consultant challenge, or even a post card.
  • You simply tell me the item number from the brochure and it goes into your newsletter

Can I see a sample of the Director Brochure?

  • Access to the brochure is reserved for customers of the Unit newsletter service.  If you decide to sign up, you'll be given access

If I have a Director Brochure page in my newsletter that I now want as a separate flier, is there a charge for that?

  • Yes, $5.

Technical Questions

Why can’t my consultants download the newsletter you have sent in Adobe Acrobat.

One of two reasons:

  1. They have not yet downloaded the newest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader.  Even though they have a version of the free reader, they need the most up-to-date to view the newsletter. Use this link: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
  2. If they use Hotmail, MSN, or Yahoo email . . . they may experience problems.  Sometimes your newsletter document is larger than the ISPs (Hotmail, MSN, Yahoo) will accept.
  3. For those consultants, you will have to print a copy for them or have them provide you another email from a private, for fee ISP (Ameritech, Cox, etc.)

If I email or call you with a question about my computer, can you answer it for me?

As best I know how, I will help you.
