Top Email Marketing Services

Email marketing can be one of the best ways to market a business. For starters, it’s very affordable, and the business owner knows they are contacting people who want to be contacted by them.

To begin email marketing, you will need an autoresponder. There are many to choose from on the web. Here is a run-down of some of the more popular services:

iContact (www.icontact.com). This service allows for various tracking reports, including how many people are opening the mail and clicking on the links inside the mail. The service starts at $9.95 per month and is based on how many people there are on the mailing lists. There is a 15 day free trial.

Constant Contact (http://www.constantcontact.com). This service offers a 60 day free trial and starts out at $15 per month after that. Again, the pricing will depend on how many subscribers a person has. This service is well known for its HTML templates, but falls short in other areas. For instance, users are limited to creating only 15 different mailing lists.

Aweber (http://www.aweber.com). This service offers a 30 day money back guarantee and allows you to get started for only $19 per month. Like the others mentioned above, the cost is based on the amount of subscribers. This service also has HTML templates and is known for its great tracking features.

Wahmcart (www.wahmcart.com) This service gives a two week trial for only $1 and is $39.99 per month thereafter. Not only do you get unlimited email marketing capabilities, you also receive an affiliate management system, shopping cart, ad tracker and more.

1ShoppingCart (http://www.1shoppingcart.com). This service offers lots more than just an autoresponder, but they do allow you to pick and choose just the autoresponder feature if that is all you need. There is a 30 day trial for only $3.95 and the cost after that is $29 per month. This is the service that many of the most successful internet marketers use.

Mailchimp (www.mailchimp.com) which is free up to 2000 subscribers, although it sends some advertising, has a monthly subscription or you can buy credits for occasional campaigns.

Other services include Vertical Response, Email Aces, and Get Response. All of these work in the same way as the above services.

Deciding on which service is right for you is going to be based on personal choice. You can take advantage out the free or low-cost trials and play around with them until you find one that suits your needs.

While you are deciding on one, remember to think about the future. Some of these services start out at affordable prices, but jump considerably in price. You may not have much of a list right now, but that doesn’t mean you won’t have a large list in the near future. Make sure you will be able to afford the service you choose if you all of a sudden get a large amount of subscribers.
