Newsletter Software

[Supercod]

Looking to find out what Affiliates and Merchants are using for Newsletter Software, at UK Internet Sites we use our own custom made system but was wanting to review what else is on offer and how people find them, need to recommend one to the father-in-law his mailing list is small, couple of thousand at most and send out once a month I rather not get in to setting him up on our company system as be more trouble than it’s worth LOL What do people use/recommend?

I've dabbled a bit with constant contact and recommended it to a client who seems to be pretty happy with it

Email Marketing Solutions from Constant Contact

For clients with zero design / HTML resource we have a tool that is 100% wizard driven WYSIWYG - video here:
Try out a Demo of ShineEmail

Can negotiate on price quite a bit, the ratecard setup price is for clients with very bespoke design & data requirements.

For running on your own servers Sendstudio from Interspire is pretty good though I've not used the new version yet. PHPList is top of the 100% free tools if you have someone who can set it up for you. - Very short on reporting though.

Pure360 are pretty damn good.

I use Silverpop who are really good.

Or MailAgent™ email marketing software who are also really good!

I use a program called sendstudio by a company called interspire. This is the best program I have come across. The application is installed onto your webserver. Import your lists and create your emails.

You can customise your templates and automate the entire process. It is in essence autoresponder software with email and email list management functionality. Great for your email campaigns.

I have the old version which is called sendstudio but the new version is called email marketer 5.

I personally never used them before, you might give them a try. Price wise is quite reasonable.

hi clarke,

pick your custom solution apart (as i would imagine its fairly good) and add it on as another service you, or POR, or a new company offer.

I've had experince with ecircle and emailvision and a brief experience with newsweaver. All good companies, can all offer a similar sort of service, offer very good wysiwyg email editors if needed, image hosting, whitelisting etc but probably better for larger mailing list management as they're all big on segmenting, split testing etc - but all worth having a look at

once Paid On Delivery's set up let me know

What stand alone options are there ?

Much prefer to keep it in house and personal ... don't like monthly or ongoing fees or even passing email details through someone elses server or using an outside source ..etc ..
