​​IMPORTANT! All eflyers include a free single property website. Click the links tab and you will see your free virtual tour/single property website link which you must delete. You can choose to add as many links as you like, such as a funny Christmas video, a landing page with a longer holiday message, or a favorite website with holiday tips. Just click the Add Link button. The first link is activated when viewers click anywhere on the eflyer. The rest will appear below your eflyer and they can click it to view.
​​To add social media to your eflyer click the Social tab and the social media links you’ve added to My Account will self-populate.

Once you are satisfied with your elfyer, click the Continue to Proof button or View Proof on the main navigation to see the entire eflyer exactly as it appears in an agent’s inbox. Use this page to proof your eflyer, look at your contact info, subject line, check your links and social media before you blast out your eflyer to avoid errors. You can also email a proof to your client. If you spot an error or wish to make a change just click the Edit Further button, otherwise click the Continue button to get to distribution.

To send your eflyer in most cases you will want to add your own clients, family members and contacts. Choose the Add Email My Contacts button to upload or select your mailing list if you already have one in your account.
To add a mailing list simply click the box and paste your email addresses there. You can also just type email addresses adding a comma or clicking the enter button between each address. You can upload a CVS file or import your Yahoo or Google lists, but this gets complicated if you don't want to send to everyone on those lists!
Make sure you have saved and selected your list by checking the box.
This is a quick and easy way to send lovely holiday wishes to friends, family, colleagues and clients.
