Content Management
Depending on what your message addresses, you may want to:
change the email address your message comes from (e.g. "Update_Team@yourcompany.com", "Marketing Team" or "Customer Service")
change the email subject heading
rename the hyperlink the recipient clicks on within the email
re-direct your contacts to a different page after they have submitted their updated details (e.g. thank you for your time, order now, visit us at stand X, download it now etc)
