Hi, I am looking for an email marketing service. I am not intend to send email more then once a month. I am not sure about the number of subscribers I will have at the end. What are the best options out there? And what are the cheapest options?
For the service and exposure you get, it's really not worth it. Try some more traditional marketing methods. Most companies are overpriced and only send your mail to the spam folder of your recipients, which most would just delete without even reading it. So I wouldn't bother at all, if I were you.
Email marketing is really necessary for the kind of product I market. It is a freemium software, so anyone who download it will have to subscribe. I need a solution that offers form that I can embed in my site, and then collect the details (and the emails) of the subscribers. Then I need to send this subscribers emails, that will encourage them to buy the premium version. I really need a good and cheap Email marketing solution here.
that's easy: GetResponse or Aweber. You can try Aweber just $1 per month because if you try then you stay I also use Aweber.
I like AWeber. Their customer service is great, they're easy to use and you can try them for your first month for just $1 - http://goo.gl/2GbJt - They will call you about a day after you sign up with them asking if you have any questions what so ever. In my opinion, they have been the best. You can track your subscribers as you mentioned in your post as well.
I like Aweber too, and just like the comment above says it's only 19 dollars a month and you can try it for 1 dollar. Many successful marketers and online companies use Aweber.
They say that aweber is the best as is get response but I have found a free autoresponder its called listwire
how many contacts you have? For more than 3k subscribers I think is better to use your own software and SMTP with your own IP. This way you can be 100% sure that you are not blacklisted because of other people sharing the same IP and your list is secure.
Mailchimp and aweber is there for help you for email marketing. If you look for cheap then you will try get same results as input.
Are you looking for a standard email marketing service? If so then go with Aweber. That is if you have already have an email list. If you don't have an email list then you can also have someone send your product to their customers either for a flat fee or a percentage.
Apples & oranges Each has its place in the online marketing world, and can work in tandem for the very best results. If you optimize your site using SEO techniques and then have suitable opt-in forms, you get the best of both worlds! Best, --JR
