Email Marketing Services - recommendations?

Hi there!

Newbie to the site, very excited - lots of information for me to use.

I work for a small company that offers third party hardware support for Network Attached Storage / Storage Area Networks (NAS/SAN)

I have been in charge of the email marketing to our list of several thousand customers for the past 14 months. We have been using an email service provider called Constant Contact.

While the service worked, i did not set it up correctly (organize it) and it does not track information as well as i want it to (for us, 1 customer can mean anywhere from a $300 sale, up to a $70,000-$200,000+ sale)

We have an amazing database that we have built in Filemaker Pro (I am the DB admin/developer) - being the numbers guy i am, i love tracking everything i can.


I am in the market for a new Email Marketing Service. I found this website: http://email-marketing-service-review.toptenreviews.com/

But i am partially unsure about those ratings.

I can not seem to find any website online that discuss email marketing services, and read reviews from users.

Does anyone have any experiances with online Email Marketing Services?

Thanks for all your help!

I will say first go for test campaign with few selected records whom you know personally. If such business record is not available create some kind of friendship with few of your existing customers. Ask them to give feedback and develop on that feedback.

I'm sure that a few years ago we use a company called Mail Manager or something like that.

I remember that the big negative about them was that we were restricted with the number of emails that could be sent each week. Thats something that you will need to watch out for in selecting a mail out company.

Sorry if this isn't much help!

There's a free 60 day trial to see if you like it. I've been using filemaker too, but i can see where you would want more.

There are many e-marketing service free trails. Though many of them have anti-spam policies. getresponse is pretty popular as well.

For an economy going through a downturn, marketing and advertising expenses regress across majority of industries. On the other hand, there is a continuous rise on the use of email marketing. The reason is that email marketing cost is lower when compared with other media methods. The success is also relatively high. Having said that, there are certain fundamental skills necessary for you to realize a positive ROI (Return on Investment).

To start with, it is necessary that you grasp email list building principles; secondly, your plan for generating content must be solid enough.

Since you started with Constant Contact why not ask them if they can provide you the kind of custom solution you need. I use VerticalResponse and so far so good. But there are several email marketing service providers out there so you can try others too before you make your final pick.
