Email Marketing Solutions

If you are in business you need a good email marketing solution. Many small business owners make the mistake not paying for an email marketing solution. Using your regular email client or a free service for your email needs might hurt your business in many ways.

Before choosing the right email marketing software for your company, the most important criterias you have to take a close look at:

Double opt-in means the person has to respond to a confirmation email sent to the email address. If you already have a list of emails, you might want to make sure and contact the email company if they will accept your list. For instance Aweber wants you to resent confirmation emails to your previous list. You might lose some part of your list. Some industry people think double opt-in is a necessity, but we oppose this view.

If you are not a web designer, and need to start your email marketing campaign fast, you will need to start with a template. So, make sure the email marketing company you choose offers free templates.

Deliverability Rate:

This is one of the most important criterias. To be able to get a high deliverability rate, you need to choose a trusted, well known email marketing solution.

User Friendly or Not:

The solution you have chosen has all the bells and whistles, but what if it is not user friendly? You will lose many hours on trying to find basic things, and it will cost you more.

Aweber is one of the major players in email newsletter and autoresponder community. Many internet marketers who use autoresponders prefer Aweber. Main disadvantage is Aweber is a double opt in email marketing software. User interface is not as user friendly as other solutions, you need to play with it and learn along the way.

Monthly payment structure is fair if you have a large list (less than 10.000 people) and send email at least once a month.

Autoresponder features are excellent, and backed up with high deliverability percentage.

Overall, Aweber is a premium solution chosen by many industry experts.
