    Hello,

    I am looking to promote 2dayhold.com more and am looking at sending out emails.

    I know there are a lot of firms offering, but a lot are rubbish.

    does anyone know of reputable firms that can prove thier service?

    regards

    I looked at their website

    but they only allow you to send emails to exisiting customers, I am seeking new ones so it is the wrong type of service

    www.youbulkemail.com is just a re-seller of www.exmmarketing.com

    Exm Marketing seems like a good service to me. I was going to try them out long ago, but the set-up fee is stupid IMO. They do have some good prices however, the lowest I have ever seen for a larger marketing company like they are.

    Automaticinteractive.com is also a powerhouse in email marketing today. They are ALOT more expensive though. $1500 just to test their product to 10MM. After that per 1MM it is $1K, however their concept is unique, they only charge you on delivered mails, so if you sent out 1MM, but only 500K were delivered, then you only pay for the 500K. JonAutomatic is his AIM, very busy guy and unless your serious about going with them don't contact him!

    Not to do a sales pitch or anything, but you could hire me :)

    Hope this helps!

    There is no such thing as a reputable bulk email company
    All these companies are sending out unsolicited commenrial email - otherwise known as SPAM which is now illegal under CanSPAM Act

    The only way to send out emails successfully is to start your own email list

    The best way to do this is to offer people something free, and tell them that to receive product x, they must enter their name/email in the box below

    You can then have a reputable double opt in process, where they must verify their email by clicking on a link in the welcome email your responder script sends them automatically

    The other way round this is to pay for a solo ad with a suitable ezine
    If you target the right niche with your ad, you will probably be successful - certainly better than PPC

    But dont waste money online so called email services - they are virtually all bogus, and if you do use them, you will open to lots of SPAM complaints

    How are these companies bogus? Do you even know what the CanSpam act states?

    What they are doing is 100% CanSpam. They would not charge $500 per million email addresses if they were not legit...

    Why do you say aweber is not a reputable company? They require opt-in for most addresses. In fact, I have tried to upload a bulk email file, and they refused to accept it. I use them for opt-in mailing campaigns, they are great.

    That is expensive $100 set-up fee, plus $0.04 per-mail. For that price your better of using PPC. At least with ppc for sure they will see your website.

    I have used Expedite marketing - I just bought it from that reseller - they worked great and I was able to get the setup fees waived... remember price is always negogiable.
