I've added some info on innucopia.com about the new Addemar 2 here. It's impossible to really impart the full signifcance of the changes. In short, the new Addemar 2 in on par with the best email marketing offerings available in the US, and it's got a style (due to its European influence) that's often lacking from its American counterparts. Email marketing is not dead, it's not going away, and in order to get on top of the crop, email marketers will need an edge to set them apart in the crowded email box. Enter Addemar 2.

It's a great improvement over the previous version, and I know that the folks in Belgium aren't done yet. I have to say hats off to them! I'm really looking forward to see what they come up with next. Stay tuned for some screen shots from the new version.

The new year is here. I've emerged from the abyss (wonderful abyss that is) that is my family holiday, and I'm back in full swing. Lots of great things planned for this year, including

• The launch of an upgraded Addemar version for my existing customers,
  
• A new Addemar Agency version for web, media and communication businesses, and
  
• Lots of new activity on southernillinoisspecialties.com, a new Innucopia service for craftspeople, artists and specialty business owners in southern Illinois.

Stay tuned! Cheers to a successful year for all!
