Emotional Farewell to Melanie McClure

2009-05-28T21:43:00.000-04:00

My wife recently received one of the nicest tributes I've seen.

She is currently a Principal at an Elementary School, however, she's been activated and will be going to Iraq. Friday is her last day.

I love her, will miss her and I'm very proud of her.

Two of the members at my club, Sport Fit Bowie, in Maryland have gone Hollywood.

Well, almost, they're on my computer screen in a tennis reality show for mixed doubles teams. This is a competition put together as a promotion by the USTA and Lever 2000. The idea is that you audition interesting doubles teams. Put them up against each other in matches across the country. Throw in Murphy Jensen, Mary Jo Fernandez, and some great production and you've go a very cool mix.

So check out David Barnes and Tammy Peyton in their bid to play the final match in front of thousands at the National Tennis Center during the U.S. Open!

The Industry Minute

Welcome to the new Industry Minute on The Tennis Podcast. My name is Kevin McClure and my goal is to use these brief posts to introduce the listeners of The Tennis Podcast to available tennis websites, products, programs and people in the tennis community. Players, Coaches, and Fans.

www.EmailTennis.com

This week, I’d like to share with you a product that, in principal, you are all probably familiar with. The email newsletter. You may have even subscribed to a couple in your day. I have used an email delivery service for years for my tennis clubs, article writing, even The Tennis Podcast.

www.EmailTennis.com

There are a few keys:Can you put a registration block on your website or inside of an email?Can you send to unlimited number of email addresses?Does your service insure that no duplicates are sent out to the same address?Can you break down your lists into interest areas?Can you send it in both the visual and text formats?How easy is it to create great looking newsletters, postcards, product sales updates, announcements, press releases and the like.

www.EmailTennis.com

You see, the possibilities of your communication with teammates, club members or visitors to your website are endless.

www.EmailTennis.com

I use my service to tell club members about weather alerts, member successes, tennis instructional articles, and program updates. People can link to my websites and program brochures and can also see photos and great pre-formatted templates. As a matter of fact, my service tells me how many people open up my email, how many and who clicked on which link – 20 clicked on the Cardio Tennis info and only 2 clicked on the specialty workshop. Hmmm.

So, if you’ve wanted to send great looking emails and just haven’t been able to figure it out or think it takes too much time, go to www.EmailTennis.com. That will take you to my service and will also give you a $30 credit toward any service that you may subscribe. Oh, and they’ll also give you a lengthy trial period to insure you like the service. No long term commitments, but I know that you’ll be ready to go in no time. Enjoy www.EmailTennis.com services. I look forward to bringing you more next time. This is Kevin McClure for The Tennis Podcast’s Industry Minute. Take Care.

Are the Stanford women more vulnerable than in the past 3 years? Are Georgia women a threat?

If an American wins the NCAA, will he get a wild card into the US Open?

Why are there more top college women from the US than men?
