#AskCaolan – Episode 01 – Is there a way of tracking in Gmail if an email or email attachment has been opened or read?
This week’s question comes from Made in Murrindindi, a regional organisation in central Victoria, who use Gmail as their main email client.
In this episode I discuss three different ways you can approach the issue.
Firstly I talk about a couple of different extensions that you can plug into your Gmail account. They include Yesware (www.yesware.com) and Sidekick (www.getsidekick.com).
Secondly I stressed the importance of moving to a professional email service provider (ESP) and the benefits beyond just email tracking that these services provide. I often refer people to Mailchimp (www.mailchimp.com) as it’s free to use if you have a database that’s less than 5,000 people.
Lastly, I discussed why tracking these interactions is important and what it can do for your business. Let me just say that I think it’s vital!
To share you experience and suggestions with Made in Murrindindi head over to the Youtube video and pop your comments there, or just ask them below.
Do you have a question about email tracking, service providers or just making your digital life even easier? Head over to www.regionalbusinesstoolkit.com/ask-caolan/ and as it there. That way your question may be answered by not only me but the entire Regional Business Toolkit community. How cool does that sound?
