Shared emails: some mailings full, new dates

Posted on 29th October 2010 by admin in Uncategorized

It is only two weeks since the idea of shared emails to secondary school teachers was launched but already two of our shared email dates have sold out, and a third has just one space left.

So we are now starting a new round of dates.

Here’s the basics…

A shared email costs £99 plus VAT for sending to schools, inclusion on the Procurement web site and inclusion in UK Education News.

On the shared email the teacher sees a list of five topic areas relevant to the subject.   These topics are chosen by the companies listed, and we only allow one entry per topic.  So for example, with the shared emailing bookings we have taken recently we have topics such as

  • ICT Functional SkillsTeaching the Tudor PeriodAll Your School Sharepoint NeedsMaterials for the dyscalculic child

    • In the email each of the five companies gets its full details, web site, email address etc, plus a 30 word statement about what it does.  The companies also get a listing on UK Education News and on the School Procurement site.   There’s a sample on our web site – details below.

    At the moment we still have spaces in History, Maths, SENCO, ICT, English.  If there is a further subject you would like us to cover with a shared email please do let me know.

    History – signed confirmation of booking and copy required by 3rd November; distribution commences during the week starting 8th November

    Maths – signed confirmation of booking and copy required by 10th November; distribution commences during the week starting 15th November

    SENCO – signed confirmation of booking and copy required by 24th  November; distribution commences during the week starting 29th November

    ICT – signed confirmation of booking and copy required by 29th November; distribution commences during the week starting 2nd December

    English - signed confirmation of booking and copy required by 1 December; distribution commences during the week starting 6th December

    All the details are on http://www.emails.gs/Email10000.html

    You can see the format at http://www.emails.gs/sample_shared.html where we have made up a sample of what the SENCO email will look like.

    If you would like to book in please do call 01536 399 000 or email Sales@hamilton-house.com and we’ll send you across a contract.

    Free email campaign when you book a postal shared mailing to 5100 secondary schools

    This week we’ve been running our first programme in which everyone involved in a secondary school postal shared mailing also receives a free email to secondary schools.

    It seems to have worked well, so we are doing it again on November 24th.  Again the idea is simple.  If you book into a postal shared mailing you will get a free email promotion to the teacher of your choice – which for many customers means a free email campaign using our premium personal or preference lists, a mailing which would otherwise cost £360 or more.

    So, to be clear, if you are doing a shared to the Head of Religious Studies for example, we will try and offer you a free email campaign to the 2400 heads of Religious Studies in secondary schools for whom we have got the personal email address.

    The full list of personal email lists that we have is given on
    http://www.emails.gs/PersPrefLists.html and although this now covers most secondary teachers and special areas of work there are still one or two that are missing.

    So if we can’t meet your exact requirement we will offer you a range of alternatives, such as emailing on a different date, or using an alternative list – such as a generic email campaign, or an email to a different teacher.   Or if the list you want is on the way, you can wait until it is available, and make use of your free promotion then.

    Whatever the outcome the cost of the email will be zero to you – you just pay the cost of the shared mailing.

    The cost of doing a shared postal mailing to the 5100 secondary school addresses is £375 (around 7.3p per school) or £472 for two items (under 15g in total).  The printed material is needed one week before the mailing date.   There’s more on postal shared mailing prices at
    http://www.shared.org.uk/shared%20prices.pdf

    For the postal shared mailing on November 24th we need your printed material on 16 November at noon.   We only run one pack, and it has a limited number of places, so once it is full, that’s it, there is nothing else until January.

    If you want to know any more, or if you want to book in, please do call 01536 399 000.
