Q: Why can’t my guest see one of my emails?
A: There could be several reasons why your guest is unable to see your email properly:

• Your guest may be offline or not connected to the internet. To be able to view your email properly, s/he needs to be online.
• If your guest is on a network (perhaps using a work email address), s/he will need to contact the network administrator to see if they can receive emails with images.
• If your guest is using AOL 9.0 to receive email, s/he must click on "Show images and enable graphic links", in the upper right hand corner, just above the email. If not, your guest should reply to your email requesting that s/he receive text-only emails.
• If your guest is using Yahoo to receive email, s/he must uncheck the "Block HTML Graphics" feature in the Mail Options menu. Click the Mail Options link in the upper right area of the page. On the Mail Options page, click the General Preferences link under the Personalization column. Scroll to the Emails section and uncheck the box next to "Block HTML graphics in email emails from being downloaded."
• If your guest is using Hotmail and wants to receive images automatically, s/he needs to change his/her mail display settings in order to receive graphics. Simply click on "Options" on the right upper part of your inbox, click on "Mail," and then click on "Mail Display Settings." Go down to "Display Internet Images" at the bottom and click on the box "Display images automatically."
• Your guest’s browser settings may be set to NOT show any pictures. In Internet Explorer, in the menu, go to "Tool", then "Internet Options" and choose the tab "Advanced." Scroll down till you see "Multimedia" and be sure "Show pictures" is checked.

Q: Why are some of my guests not getting my emails?
A: Have your guest check the "Bulk email folder" or "Spam folder" and designate that you are a safe sender. If your guest is receiving your email at a work email address, it may be that the guest’s employer blocks certain emails. In that case, we suggest that your guest use a personal email address.

Q: Why, when I print one of my emails, certain images are not printing?
A: Your browser settings may not be set to print background colors or graphics. In Internet Explorer’s menu, go to "Tool", then "Internet Options" and choose the tab "Advanced." Scroll down till you see "Printing" and be sure "Print background colors and graphics" is checked.

Q: What if I don’t have a logo?

A: You can easily create one by incorporating a unique and distinctive element from your other marketing materials along with your restaurant name. If you don’t have a logo in electronic format, simply give your Local Marketing Partner a paper and we’ll be happy to scan it and upload it to your account.

Q: Can I change my default design template?

A: Yes, your default design is just that – a default. You can change this template for any email that you send out. In every way that you may start an email, you are given the chance to select a different design to suit the email.

Q: Can I resend an email?

A: Go to the List-Build tab, and then click on the Member Search link. First, search for a particular member either by their email address, or name. Once you find that member, click on the Resend Message link associated with that member. Select the email you want to resend from the drop-down menu at the top. You will have the option of adding a personal message from your restaurant to the member. Click the Submit button at the bottom of the page. The member will receive a TEXT version of this email within a few hours.

Q: What if I click the Approve and Send button but still need to make edits to an email?

A: You can recall or stop an email up to 4 hours before it is scheduled to be sent. Go to the Report tab, select the Pending/Sent Emails link, and click on the Recall link next to the email that you wish to edit. Make the desired edits and then click the Approve and Send button to reschedule that email.

Q: What happens if I exit out of Fishbowl in the middle of creating an email?

A: Your email will be automatically saved. To return to that email, go to the Edit tab and click on the In-Progress Emails link. Click on the Edit link next to your incomplete email. You may then finish your email and schedule it to send.
