And our best wishes to all our clients in every language!

We wish everyone all the best for the coming New Year. And hope everyone has a great time with family and friends during this holiday season, and enjoy all the end of the year celebrations. Shut down your computer, your iPhone or your Blackberry for, hum, let’s say a couple of hours, or days if you can, ;-) to celebrate and have great time with the ones you cherish.

We’ll see you in January to support you with your great new projects, and we’ll have a successful 2009 together!

But be assured the Cakemail support team is available during the holidays, although with limited service on December 25 and January 1st.

We also invite you to follow us on Twitter.

CakeMail just released a new enhanced CakeMail “Forward to a Friend” function. Now users can grow their email lists faster and easier than ever!

The new Forward to a Friend allows recipients to deliver a personalized message to as many as 5 friends at a time, allowing each of them to subscribe to your email list, and of course, forward it on to their friends.

As before, the new Forward to a Friend feature is available in all 7 CakeMail interface languages. And as always, the CakeMail flexibility is included. The new API call, “Mailing.Forward” lets you customize the functionality to suit your taste.

The power of online referrals can have a significant impact on your email marketing business recurring revenue. Encouraging your clients to include “Forward to a Friend” in their mailings will help them grow their lists, expand their reach, increase their send rates, and help them become more successful email marketers.
