Three powerful uses for these tools
-
General Information Dissemination
Anybody that has information they want to be instantly available to anyone else might well use an autoresponder, since many are available for free. It could be information about a product you are interested in. It could be instructions on how to use or repair a product that you have. It could be an article about how to lose 30 pounds in 30 days. Anything that can be be put into text (and with HTML email, pictures or drawings also) can be sent by autoresponder. -
Customer Support
This is a large topic. If you are selling information products, you may want to use autoresponders as the product delivery method. You can provide after-sale support information such as FAQs (frequently asked questions), thank-you messages, request for testimonials, etc. There is really no limit other than your imagination to the uses that autoresponders can provide in supporting your customer. -
Following Up With Visitors
If somebody writes to you then it's only polite to respond, even if only to say thank you. Trouble is that's a 24/7 365 days a year job - so get an autoresponder to do the job. It never sleeps, goes out for lunch, gets sick or goes on holiday - even when you do!

Cat's Whiskers have made it easy. Through a straight forward and simple browser form you can answer, categorise, add, edit and delete your FAQs in a few moments. It just couldn't be simpler.

There are dozens of skins which you can choose from which we will happily and quickly install for you. Just choose one you like and make a request by submitting a ticket at the Help Desk

- Any user can be given permissions to read, write, moderate or fully customise any number of blogs.
- Complete and detailed permission management is included.
- AntiSpam Deluxe: Effective combination of active and passive antispam measures - including a community shared blacklist - to block comment and referrer spam.
