I need to find a decent provider for the njShoot e-mails going out to the mailing list.

 

I've used Constant Contact at work, but their service is problematic. I was looking at MailChimp, and they seem perfect. My mailing list is small enough (just around 200 so far) and at that level, their service is free. It looks like they integrate with Dreamweaver pretty well, and they seem to have a good handle on small volume user needs.

 

Does anyone have any experience with them, or any other recommendations?

 

Thanks.

I use AceofSales.com. Really really really great product. And it is cheap. $20 a month, lets you do newsletters, email greetings etc. If you got some of my emails in the past, you will see it. Best of all, lets you see actual tracked results.

 

Sign up, and you can get a 30 day trial, use promo code MAKS30. I became affiliate with them after I started using it, and that is what I recommend to all of my investment and insurance buddies.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

Best of all... integrates with facebook, linked in and twitter. You can schedule emails to be sent out. etc. It was designed around Jeff Gittomer, and if you are in Sales... you know Jeff. It is just really really awesome, and I cant stop talking about it. lol. It is that good!

I use phpmail installed right in my shared server. It puts up an opt in/out pag. And puts the unsubscribe right in the email footers which keeps you from being blacklisted.

 

<edit> sorry, that was from memory on the train. I use Phplist

For anyone interested in this, I decided on MailChimp.

 

A few of the features swayed me:

 

It's free - up to 1,000 list names and/or 6,000 mails per month, no charge

A crapload of pre-existing templates and themes

In-depth reporting

Outstanding creation interface

Outstanding communication - automated emails when anyone subscribes, unsubscribes, etc.

Completely compliant - double opt-in process (subscription form and confirmation/activation e-mail)

They even have a Dreamweaver extension for designing custom templates in WYSIWYG (maybe for the next one)

Oh, did I mention that they're FREE?

 

I recommend this to anyone who's sending out newsletters, announcements, whatever.
