BizSense CRM And ERP has a powerful newsletter feature. Using BizSense you can enhance your relationship with your customers and prospects.

The first step is to create opt-in lists. BizSense emphasizes on the target recipient's convenience. There are certain dos and don'ts to which you have pay attention.

• Build and use your own opt-in list. Avoid purchasing email lists from third party vendors.
• Provide a means for your target recipients to opt in and out of mailing lists.
• Don't add a recipient to the mailing lists without their explicit permission.
• Include unsubscribe link in each bulk message. The recipient shouldn't have to login to unsubscribe.
• Act on bounce messages. If a recipient email server says the user doesn't exist a couple of times, unsubscribe the recipient from all your mailing lists.
• Read and understand the bulk email policies of popular email service providers like Google, Yahoo!, AOL, etc.

Once you install BizSense and save the newsletter settings, create your mailing lists. Note that the mailing lists are one way, meaning you can send email from BizSense to the mailing list subscribers. If the recipient replies to the newsletter those replies are not processed by BizSense.

BizSense offers a WYSIWYG editor to compose HTML emails. While composing the message, be sure to save both HTML and text versions. BizSense sends emails keeping in mind the recipient's preferred email format.

From the meetup website
"We're having the next Bangalore PHP meetup on the 30th of January. This meetup, we're planning to have a Framework Shootout.

Zend, Cake, Drupal, Yii, CodeIgniter? If you're passionate about the framework you use, talk about it and convince the rest of us to take up your framework. Each Framework Warrior will be given 15 minutes to present their case. We'll add a few minutes for Q&A."

Effective today, the BizSense project has moved from http://code.google.com/p/bizsense to http://projects.binaryvibes.co.in/projects/show/bizsense

When the BizSense project started, we wanted to put more effort into writing code than working on project management tools. We found Google Code Project Hosting to be an attractive offer which contained issue tracker, subversion and wiki. In addition to that we had created a group for BizSense at Google groups. The only two features we used were the subversion and issue tracker. We have also deleted the BizSense Google Group.
