Have you ever received email from iVillage? I receive email from this website (http://www.ivillage.com/) on a daily basis. The emails have tips, advice, and news with topics that I crafted myself. This website is a woman’s best friend. It is a magazine and lexicon with hands-on features from A to Z. Anything you want to know about -- entertainment news, health, cosmetics, fashion trends, your favorite stars, dieting, parenting, home decorating, wellness, and fitness -- you can find there. It is very easy and entertaining to browse through all the iVillage pages. There are always new tips and interesting articles. By working with professionals in various industries, they offer an interesting mix of education and fun.
The whole set up is very appealing and keeps you browsing longer than necessary, because there is always so much fun stuff to read or do there. Trying new looks is very easy with their make-over feature which allows you to download your picture and try new haircuts, make-up styles, and clothing without the inconvenience of leaving your home and risking the consequences of wrong decisions. That is probably the greatest thing I've ever seen from looking at similar pages. The iVillage website is, like many others, based on advertising, but the way they do this is very gentle and not invasive. They manage to incorporate promotion in anything they write about without irritating their readers.
To gain all the benefits that this website has to offer, a reader has to sign in and answer a few questions. They offer an email newsletter where readers can choose from many different areas of his or her interests. I imagine that they don't keep this information just for themselves, but rather they share it with advertisers and marketers. But not to forget, iVillage is involved with topical communities too, and this makes it very easy for readers to find the one closest to his or her heart and become a part of it. They also help people to get closer by creating social networks, where you can create your own group, find people with similar interests, or just post and view homemade videos and pictures. iVillage offers educational courses for women. They have computer, business, entrepreneurship classes, and many others complemented by interviews with top women in the business world.
iVillage reached the point of such great popularity that they launched their own TV show, which is broadcast every weekend at noon by NBC Universal in Orlando, and viewers are able to watch it on select NBC stations or online at 12 P.M. EST. In Philadelphia, tune into WCAU1O.
I personally like this website. I always find good tips and articles that I’m in the mood to read. I think that with the wide variety of topics to choose from everybody can benefit from this website. I enjoy the emails, especially the "Conquer Your Cravings" advice, which helps me to stay in front of my computer and work without munching on all my week-long snack supplies in a day.
