If you’re hosting your website with us, you get 25 email boxes, free with your web hosting.

However, these email boxes provide a limit of 1 Gig of space stored on the server. This includes all emails and attachments in all folders.

Once you hit your space limit, emails sent to you will bounce back to the sender.

If you’ve received a notification from the administrator like the following message, there are 3 options for reducing your email size to below 1 Gig.

“Currently, incoming messages are still being delivered.
In order to continue receiving email, you will need to work with your email
administrator to make room for new messages. Beginning soon if your mailbox is over capacity, messages sent to you will be returned to the sender.”

1. Delete Trash Items:

You’d be surprised how much space items you’ve deleted take up. Permanently deleting items in your trash folder can in many cases free up the space you’ll need.

2. Delete Spam Items:

This folder may be automatically set up to store Spam emails redirected from your inbox.

By deleting your spam mail, you’ll free up extra space.

3. Delete Sent Items

By deleting your sent emails, you’ll certainly free up a lot of space. In many cases your sent folder may be as big as, or bigger than your inbox itself.

For some industries, such as those sending and receiving engineering or architectural drawings, a 1 Gig email box may be difficult to manage.

Still need more space? Upgrade your email hosting to 25 G per mailbox- for only $5 per mailbox, per month!

Are you marketing to your Canadian customers and prospects via email ?

Did you know your business may be at risk of losing over 80% of your subscribers- or worse- get fined millions of dollars?

Since the AntiSpam Legislation in Canada was changed at the beginning of July, many business owners have found themselves unsure of how to protect their businesses from heavy fines, while ensuring their marketing efforts aren’t being crippled by the new law.

The 5 New Rules For Conducting Email Marketing in Canada:

The first thing to do is brush up on the changes:

1. Learn about what CASL or the new Canada Anti-Spam act allows and disallows.

The biggest takeaway from the legislation change is that any member of your email marketing list needs to give you explicit, rather than implicit consent to market to them.

This means each member of your list must take an action to give you permission to market to them. These actions could include replying to an email with the word yes, or clicking an “I consent” button.

You have 3 years to obtain explicit consent before you risk being fined.

2. Split your lists

Create a new list for “Antispam consent”- here’s where you want to add subscribers who have officially consented to be marketed to.

The goal is to convert as many people from your existing list, to your new Antispam list as possible.

3. Commit to your list

You have 3 years to gain the explicit consent needed to ensure your compliance with the Antispam act.

So, make use of the entirety of this this time!

Don’t lose the subscribers you’ve worked so hard to gain.

Keep asking your subscribers to confirm their consent.

4. Create multiple strategies to ask for consent.

In cases where we’re managing the email marketing for our clients, we’ve found asking subscribers to hit reply has a biggest success rate than asking people to click a button and confirm their consent .

Secondly, experiment with email subject headings to see which ones perform the best; get the best open rate and click through rate. Then, use this data to make improvements to your next campaign.

5. Put your money where your mouth is

Email marketing is one of the most effective types of marketing because it builds solid relationships with new and existing customers; keeping you top of mind and positioned as an expert.

Your list possesses incredible value and potential for sales revenue- a value high enough to warrant dishing out some incentive to maintain your list of qualified prospects.
