Question by Rockin’ Mel S: Email marketing software recommendations?
I need a software that will allow me to send emails to client lists. Emails would be of the nature of newsletters, survey invitations and that sort of thing.

Ideally, it would be an ASP/Web type solution that would be hosted online so that people at various offices could access it.

Do you have any suggestions/recommendations? Do you know any sights that offer reviews of such products/services?

Thanks

Check out Constant Contact http://www.constantcontact.com — they have very reasonable rates, allow you to try the service for 30 days, and the pricing is excellent. ConstantContact just added a new survey product that you can use with your account.

We tried Topica http://www.topica.com as well but the pricing is steeper for the same features that Constant Contact offers.

Another good company to try out is Lyris http://www.lyris.com/ though they are costlier than Constant Contact and Topica, though they have more sophisticated features

Convio http://www.convio.com/site/PageServer?pagename=prod_emailmarketing is another good provider with sophisticated capabilities, though they are marketing themselves to the non profit sector though I know some publications such as Catalog Success magazine uses them
