    I have a client that has been looking into this avenue. I honestly have yet to try it. I would like some feed back from other who have used this marketing tool. What are your results based on CapEx investment? Which are the best companies to use.

    Thanks in advance....

    Email marketing is also the best tool to increase sale but thing here is it should not be randomly targeted, you should know your target audience or niche before using this kind of service

    Email marketing is the backbone of many internet marketers making 6 figures possibly a million+ a year.. think about it do you want one shot to sell to them when they appear at your website or do you want to develop a relationship with them and then sell to them over and over in the future?.. I'd take the latter...

    Yes, email does work. It's a lot of work required to build and keep your email list responsive, but it's well worth the payoff. My email list is over 10k and it makes me several thousand a month, sometimes up to 5k a month, so don't count it out :cool:

    Of course email marketing works well, and there are some automatic email submitter tools are work well. However, to get sucess you first have to make a very good email template this is very important.

    The important thing is finding an email marketing tool to send quick, has scheduling, automatic removals, splits tests ...

    Then depends on the marketeer. First highlight the subject and then content of the campaign. Once the secret is to test ...

    There are many tools on the market ... and cheap like e-goi.com, aweber, graphic mail, dotmailer ...

    I do it myself, I design my own email marketing report software that shows me, what is my success ratio, which state/city or country people responding me etc. I have more one million US emails and still work on them.

    email marketing is my main method now and is working awesome, seo is not bad either but right now I am making something like 1 sale every 12,13 unique, which is great. it's my best conversion ever so far.

    I am by no means an email marketing kind of guy. In fact my first attempt got zero responses...

    However, I've used phplist in the past, its free but I'm not sure if it has the same power as the other ones. You'll want to see open mail rate, conversions all that jazz. If you plan to do a/b testing at all, remember metric basics, you'll need at least 200 people to 600 to get actual results without incurring statistical errors.

    I have had great success with email marketing. I like it because you can send out promotional messages to a huge group of people all at once - not to mention the whole group has the same interests in my products.
    I think it can work for anyone as long as you are sending out emails to a targeted group.

    Email marketing should be an integral part of any online business. It gives you a platform to constantly stay fresh and relavant with people thus a powerful tool for winning peoples attention and directing that attention to your offers etc.

    If email marketing is not part of your system I'd say you're missing out. As for which solutions you could go for, well I'm sure you've probably heard about the usual recommendations like aweber and getresponse but there are plenty more options out there for you to choose. icontact and mailoop are other options, just run a search and see what people are saying.

    have a great day

    Email marketing is great if your subscribers recall subscribing to your list, only takes a few complaints even if they double opted in for you to get in trouble with your ISP and host
