Email Campaign Management

June 13, 2005 2:03 PM

Looking for a good web-based (ASP) solution for managing permision email marketing campaigns. Hunting for something that is more innovative, better priced - the Basecamp of email marketing would be perfect. Anyone have any products that they're happy to recommend, based on personal experience?

Best answer: I've been using Constant Contact for a few months now and have been very satisfied. Nothing flashy or showy about their service, but it's solid, cheap, and they're quick to help if you've got problems.

2nd for CC -- Constant Contact is kewl. They were a client of mine back in the day... I've never heard of anyone saying anything bad about them.

We've had some success with Campaign Monitor; Simple to use, nice clean interface, with some decent reporting, and most importantly, a free (limited to a list of 10 people) trial.
Highly recommended.

I would look at eNewsletterPro, an ASP/SQL Server application. While I personally have not had much experience installing or operating it, we did use it with excellent results at my last place of employment, sending opt-in newsletters to about 80,000 subscribers. We decided on eNewsletterPro based on my own experience with its sister product, BanManPro (ASP ad-serving software). That product was rock-solid serving ads on a site with 500,000+ monthly visits, and the support was just outstanding. I don't think they ever failed to respond to an email in less than 15 minutes, and they were always willing to go the extra mile.
