Email Marketing

Once you have gotten your business up and going and you have gotten customers to sign up for your newsletter you need to find an email marketing company so you can design you newsletter.
Today I'm going to write about a few of them.


The first I'm going to write about is Constant Contact. Constant Contact will provide you with a customizable website visitor form, over 100 professional looking HTML email templates (newsletters, promos, invites, and more). List management and hosting (including unsubscribe and bounce management.). Automatic delivery in the correct format, HTML or text. Real time reporting (including who opens your newsletters and what they click on.).
You can try it out for 60 days (you can only use 100 contacts) and if you like it you can sign up for $15 (o-500 contacts), $30 (501-2,000), $50 (2,501-5,000) $75 (5001-10,000) $150 (10,001-25,000). If you have over 25,000 contacts, contact them for pricing. If you want to put up surveys on your site as well you can sign up for a free trial. If you get 0-250 responses it will cost $15 a month. 251-1,500 ($30), 1501-5000 ($50). If you have 5,001 or more survey responses add 5 cents per response. You can also prepay for 6 months (10% off) or a year (15% off). Your time period may be adjusted if you upgrade your account in that time frame. Prepaid is only available for the $15 survey option.


If you have an eBay store or sell on ProStores then you might want to try out Sales in A Click. Sales in a Click is a simple, affordable email marketing service that drives customers to your store every month automatically. You will keep getting sales from your valuable customers & prospects. They will upload their email addresses for you or you can do it yourself. You don’t have to write a thing. They write it and send it for you. Their seamless integration with the eBay store platform enables them an unprecedented level of automation, and is fully compliant with eBay Stores email policy. Just set up your account choose content criteria, specify your preferred schedule, and a professional looking email is delivered to your customers each month. You can try it out for 30 days. If you want to continue it will cost $24.95 for 6 months.


The last one I want to write about is OnMarketer. You have two options: OnLetterHead and OnMarketer. OnLetterHead is a one-to-one branded email solution. This software was created to work directly in Microsoft Outlook (OnLetterhead doesn't work with Mac). With this option you can have your own custom designed email with your brand on it giving each email your own personal touch. Now with OnMarketer you can send bulk emails and use mobile marketing. You can see real time reports that are easy to read and understand. Before you send out your emails you can see the likelihood of your emails getting thru the spam filters. If your emails are likely to be seen as spam you can make changes to your email and then send it out. There are other features that you can use, just go to OnMarketer to see more.

You can start a free trial of OnLetterhead (I don't know for how long). If you decide to upgrade, you can choose from 5 options: Gallery only ($228), Basic ($278), Starter ($478), Standard ($578), Professional ($678). With OnMarketer free trial you can send emails to 20 people and if you decide to upgrade you can also choose from 5 options Basic ($250), Starter ($500), Standard ($700), Professional ($1,000), and Expert ($2,000).

I haven't used anyone of these programs yet but if you like anyone of these try it out and let me know how your experience was. There are more email marketing programs I will be writing about those in the future.
