Is there a Saas for excepting PO's and checks? Flashissue is our web app and we get numerous requests from schools to accept Po's / checks. Is there a service that will run this for me?

i'm having this issue with 2 businesses i'm working on. we are sending out automated verification emails to users signing up for our saas. these emails can take up to 15 minutes to arrive in the Inbox - there appears to be no pattern.

we use Mandrill as one transaction provider and sendgrid as another. the emails are shown as sent/delivered but the emails are taking far longer to show in the Inbox.

Anyone having the same issue? Any ideas on fixes?

does anyone find hootsuite's new chrome extension invasive? it's crashing the party everywhere, even inside our web app.

when you click one of our RSS content streams the Hootsuite app pops up: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dhr0g83nuqo135d/Screen%20Shot%202013-10-24%20at%209.05.19%20AM.png

Will outlook online being offering apps or plugin extensions like google apps / plugins have for gmail.

Do you know of any Google App or Chrome plugin that lets you measure opens and clicks for emails sent through gmail. Gmail Meter gives high level analytics but not those at a campaign level.

We have an export feature in http://FlashIssue.com in our product that lets you create a newsletter and send it via Gmail. We want to add some campaign analytics to the campaign?

Someone else suggested yesware.com but that doesnt provide reporting either.

Is there a reason that nobody has created an analytics package for Gmail. We are finding that users are frequently using Gmail to send personal newsletter campaigns.

I'm embroiled in this debate with my cofounder about the conversion funnel for our new email marketing app.

Should we open our product to users without requiring login (going naked)

Our big USP is "make a newsletters from your blog or curated in minutes". We've had some great feedback and pretty good adoption of our MVP in the first 2 months but here's the issues:

* the sooner someone tries our product the sooner they "get it". Just reading about loses people. * we're getting lost in the noise of all those email services out there even though we do something different * our conversion funnel from landing page to sign-on and try-it (acquisition) is 15%. Too low.

Do we open up the product and let people create a newsletter (takes just 5 minutes) and require them to login only when they want to publish?

My cofounder suggested replacing the entire landing page for flashissue with the product demo. no text, no marketing; just product (100% naked). i.e. as a visitor you either get what the product does or you dont (then we dont want you anyway).

My inclination is to the open the product but still use a landing page to give some kind on intro.

I've never seen a web app done 100% naked but why not????
