Email
Newsletter Services
When sending out an email newsletter
to subscribers, it is important to use a newsletter service to protect
yourself against false spam reports made by those who have signed up and
forgotten, or have decided the easiest way to unsubscribe is to report
it as spam. Fortunately, the most popular services offer double
opt-in protection and offer free versions of their service.
Bravenet
- MyMommyBiz Recommends!
Along with many popular free tools, Bravenet offers a free HTML newsletter
service (will send HTML newsletters to those with html email, and will
show a text version of the newsletter to those without.) It comes with
an html builder, so even those without knowledge of html can send professional
html newsletters. It is free up to 1500 subscribers.
Constant
Contact
HTML newsletters with 75 templates to choose from. You can schedule
campaigns, track mailings and use a built in HTML editor if you are unfamiliar
with HTML. Free up to 50 subscribers.
Topica
The priciest of the three, it is free for the first thirty days. Allows
campaign management and no HTML knowledge is required to send out professional
HTML mailings.
Of the three top providers,
MyMommyBiz recommends Bravenet
- it is also the one we use here for all our own newsletters, and have
been for over three years.
