Which Is Better?

Hi Lois…
I’m curious if you or your readers have any favorite programs for eblasts. Results Mail seems to be the best I have researched so far.
My criteria:
1. User friendly and easy to use with limited design
skills/HTML skills
2. Capable of inserting downloadable images (photos, pdfs)
3. Option of visiting a website if recipient can’t see
the image
My clients want something easy so they can send out professional eblasts about their offerings complete with images.
I was going to have a graphic designer program a template for them, but some of these products on the market seem better than having them send out an image pasted in their Outlook. And Results Mail seems better to me than Constant Contact.
And Lois Says…
I have, of course, heard of both of these systems, but I haven’t used them. I save my money and use my shopping cart to send all of my newsletters, handle my products, and send out my autoresponder messages. It’s a great program with lots of bells and whistles. You can get a free trial of KickStartCart. Check it out. It’s a very robust program.
Another program that I’ve heard good things about is AWeber. It also allows a free test drive.
I’m sure my readers will have lots of ideas for you, too. How about it, readers? Post your comments here and I’ll include the best ones in next week’s Brainy Tidbits ezine.
