Bulk Email Software (A Guide for Buying) |
| |
Hosted email softwares |
| |
| These programs are web hosted, also known as ASPs, with packages usualy available for a monthly fee. |
| |
| 1. The free, advertising supported ASP from Yahoo, YahooGroups. This is a best option for announcements and discussion lists. I am currently subscribed with two Yahoo Groups, one that functions as a discussion list and the other one as a weekly newsletter. The subscription is based on email-invites (kinf of a double opt-in) and possibility of spam accusations practically inexistent. |
| |
| 2. If you're the bargain type, another advertising-supported ASP is Topica Exchange. Topica also develops a paid e-mail ASP service, Topica EmailPublisher, which is even more popular than the free version, but limits the number of subscribing invitations to 1.000. |
| |
| 3. One ASP that used to be free, and is now available for $25/month (send max. 10.000 e-mails/month) is ListBuilder from Microsoft Small Business Center. |
| |
| Features: single or double opt-in, HTML templates, personalizing emails, campaign tracking, targeting options. |
| |
| 4. IntelliContactPro is a paying web-based email software, with programs ranging from $9.95 monthly (up to 500 subscribers) through $959.00 monthly (up to 250.000 subscribers). |
| |
| Features: Personalization with mail merge, message scheduling, forward option, surveying, readers track (open rates and clich-thrus), bounceback handling, automatic management for opt-ins and opt-outs, newsletter editing. |
| |
| 5. Among the most popular bulk email softwares is Constant Contact, preferred by 10% of the responders in a survey provided by Web Marketing Today (May, 2004). On their website, prices are displayed for up to 25.000 subscribers ($150/month). |
| |
| Features: 75 templates for newsletter or the possibility to create your own, HTML, text and AOL support, personalization, advanced list management, campaign tracking and comparative metrics. They include a free version for under 50 subscribers. Their prices are slightly higher when compared to IntelliContactPro, for example. |
| |
| 6. In the same survey, Lyris had 4% of the market. However, the study included market shares for all their email-related softwares. Services begin at $50 per month, they offer limited mail merge, and price extra for link tracking. |
| |
Desktop email softwares |
| |
| This type of bulk email software must be installed on your desktop computer. Providers charge a one-time license. |
| |
| 1. A very interesting solution for your emailing campaigns seems to be the multiple Editor's Choice awarded WorldMerge from Colorado Soft; when others price their softwares at hundreds dollars, this one will cost you only $49. |
| |
| Features: Mail list size: 100K (max. 100.000 recipients), allows 20 attachments for each message, unlimited mailing projects and database fields, HTML editing. No database convertion or import required. |
