View Full Version : HTML email campaigns
Can anyone recommend a free or low-cost supplier that I can use to send out offers via html email? Probably on a weekly, if not daily basis........ Ideally Im looking for one where I can create the email and send it......

Just a quick question - do any of you read these emails that drop in the inbox, i'm afraid mine normally go into the recycle bin, unread - that's if they haven't already ended up in the spam.
Cheers John
yes...but not the ones that I subscribe to........

Okaaay, but why subscribe then..?

Some have been subscribed to because I was interested in the info supplied at the time - only to be bombarded with emails every other day that are of little interest, or use. Others I've forgotten to uncheck a box when joining or registering - silly mistake, easily made.
I may be the only one that finds this kind of advertising a pain - why not do a pole on here and this would give you a definite answer.
Cheers John

I've used MailChimp in the past, but haven't used it in the last few weeks. Good interface and service once you get used to it.

drive me insane, i like to be kept updated but not bombarded - if you have not got something fresh and original to say - then dont send it.

I'm with John & Laura on this subject. Most of mine just get deleted & as Laura says I want to be kept updated but not bombarded. There is nothing wrong with such as a monthly newsletter but, you have to keep it interesting otherwise they'll get deleted as soon as people receive them.

(just thought it could be our ages John & Ian) maybe it something that people in their teens/20's uni students read ??
this is more to send customers weekly offers from retailers - to customers who want to receive them...theres nothing else involved and no spadverts........

so the newsletter will be from a group of retailers then, that sounds cunning, but weekly still might be too frequent for some

I hope it's successful for you, but weekly - I can see it ending up flagged as spam and getting you blacklisted. You've got a point Laura, could be an age thing and only younguns enjoying it compared to the older ones thinking it's bombardment.
You'll have to let us know how it pans out!

Excuse me Laura but, my head still says I'm 18 however my body thinks otherwise :biggrin:
It is also like leaflets through the door which I just bin now because we get so many of them. Last week alone we got at least 3 leaflets every single day. Seems like the fast food business in Bradford is so competitive :wink:
hopefully not spam or cunning really, just another way of reaching out to people (ahem) but only to people that specifically want to receive it - and they will choose the frequency....once I sort out the best way forward hopefully I'll nail down the best way - thats why I want a mail client so I cant get some proper stats on what happens......

Lee I use awebber, they arnt the cheapest, they have a double opt in procedure, and i find 99% of my customers subscribe. I dont bombard them with weekly or monthly offers, but they do get an imformative newsletter infrequently. Once or twice a year I add an offer to it for a limited time period with a special one off page on my website that comes down at offer end date. The link to this is in the email, I get a 20-25% response from these offers. How do I know this, simple as the only way to get to the offer is from the link in the newsletter.
