Good Luck!
The fine print ...

Put the Ho back into your email marketing. Our designer Santa has whipped up some festive new templates for you – they are free and we show you how to have fun with them.

How do I get them?

If you don't have a GraphicMail account, it's about time you get one and become one of the cool kids on the block. If you're already a cool kid, simply sign into your GraphicMail account and click on Newsletters > Select Templates. The templates are categorized, and you’ll find the xmas templates peeking out of Santa’s bag at the top of our library. To choose your unique template, tick the check box provided and click on “add templates to my account”. A green message will appear at the top of the page, notifying you that the template has been uploaded. In the menu, click on Newsletter > Create.  Give your newsletter a name and select your new template from the dropdown. 

I want different images in my xmas templates - how do I do that?

Sure. You will need to go into the editor for this. Choose the newsletter with your xmas template and click on “edit”. Select an image by clicking on it, and then click the image button in the toolbar. A popup window will appear; displaying the attributes and current settings of your image. Height, width, alignment, image border and vertical spacing are the changes that can be made to the image.
In the popup window there is also a feature that allows you to replace/insert and upload images from your hard drive into your newsletter and straight from your image folder. You will need to click "update" to complete the process.

Never mind the pictures, I want a whole different template - can I design my own?

Well, this is a bit like wrapping your own present, but sure, if you don’t like surprises and prefer being in the know, you are more than welcome to design your own template. You can create a template in HTML (use Notepad if you’re an old guru, and an HTML software like Dreamweaver if you need a little help), or you can upload your template directly from Word. You can design your entire newsletter in a Word document and import it into your account. How do you do that? Go into “import/export” under Newsletters > Editing.  Under the "Get HTML from" section, click on the button "Word". It’s a kind of magic….
