The Best Email Follow-up System

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!!!

Okay... failed attempt at trying to make the blahdie-blah, gloomy-looking day a little brighter. It's still yucky out. And I feel yucky on top of it all so it doesn't help.

Nevertheless, I have cheerful news. Okay... cheerful wasn't the right word there either. Man I wish I was still in bed... (looking off into distance).

*Snap*

Okay, I'm back. Seriously though, I have something very fun to share with you today. I've already posted this handy little tidbit on the Something Blue Blog but since I know that none of you are reading it (that's right... I'm keeping track) I thought I'd share it here too.

The concept -- very simple: basically, this email follow-up system is completely free and it's designed to give you a quick and easy way to stay on top of your tasks. When you're planning a wedding this is especially important. You're constantly emailing caterers, photographers, planners, and vendors of all kinds. And then there's the emails you're sending out all those volunteers; and um, you're not paying them so they may or may not get back to you. These people include your wedding party, MC, the flower girl's mom... you get the picture.

FollowUpThen.com has created a simple way to follow-up on emails you send out. If you know how to send an email you can use this system... it's as simple as that! Even my grandmother knows how to send email; heck, I think my grandmother had a Facebook account before I did (Hi Gramma!)... but I digress.

Anywho... where was I?

Darn this gloomy day... it's got me in a fog.

Right... FollowUpThen.com. As I was saying, it's really simple to use. Here's the CliffNotes version:

1. To have a follow-up email sent to you only enter the time{at}followupthen.com in the BCC field (note the bold for emphasis) and you'll receive an email at that time (example: 2days@followupthen.com).

2. To have the follow-up sent to you and everyone else listed in the "To" field just enter the time{at}followupthen.com in the CC field.

Easy enough right? For full details you can check out the FollowUpThen site here.

And no, this is not a sponsored post -- this is something that I stumbled upon (not literally... but you know what I mean) and I've been using it myself for a few weeks. It's really great and I definitely recommend it... no strings attached.

Alrighty then... that's my little tip-of-the-day. Back to dreaming about my bed...



Ha! Okay... back to work.

You too!!

Happy Planning!
