This function is especially usefull when you're manually creating your advertiser's account, and later want to inform the advertiser regarding his or her new account (including where he or she can logs in to his or her account). To send out this message, just click the 'Send welcome email' button on your selected advertiser's 'View Advertiser' page.

There are 3 tables on this page and their functions are listed below:

  • Message email address:
    This email address is used as the sender address for all the messages.
     
  • Message emailing format:
    This is the format that will be used when constructing and sending the welcome message to your advertisers. It can be one of the 3 possibilities here:
     
    • Always email text-formatted advertiser renewal notice:
      This value indicates all your advertisers will always receive text formatted messages. The messages will be sent as file attachments in text format if your advertiser's 'Email format' setting is 'HTML'.
       
    • Always email HTML-formatted advertiser renewal notice:
      This value indicates all your advertisers will always receive HTML formatted messages. The messages will be sent as file attachments in HTML format if your advertiser's 'Email format' setting is 'Text'.
