Email Ads

What is an 'Email Blast'?

An 'Email Blast' is an email dedicated to a single advertiser, sent out to the membership list (currently 850+ subscribers) of the International Coach Federation - Chicago (ICFC) using iContact. We call it our Coaching Classifieds

Criteria for Email Blast:

Email Blast advertisers must be ICF accredited organizations. The products and services offered must assist our coaching community to either grow their business or to build their coaching skills.

Timing

The ICFC limits the number of email blasts sent out to its membership to TWO per month. This is not two advertisers per email blast; its TWO separate advertising email blasts sent to the membership per month. We do this so that messages from our fabulous advertisers are not watered down by the quantity of ads, and therefore, our membership is appreciative of the quality of the messages coming to them.

Email Blasts can be reserved and scheduled for delivery for the following two slots:

Position 1: Second Thursday of the month

Position 2: Fourth Thursday of the month
