Best Autoresponder Service

For most businesses, a web based HTML autoresponder service will be their best choice. Services such as Aweber have created a web interface that is very easy to use, leaving you to focus on the important issues...creating compelling newsletters or sales messages. An autoresponder service such as Aweber offers:
  • Freedom
    No need to concern yourself with the mechanics of installing, maintaining or upgrading the system, that is taken care of 24/7 as part of your service.
  • Stylish HTML Templates
    With Aweber you get a vast selection of ready to use HTML email templates that perfectly compliment your professional business image. All you need to do is fill them with your information.
  • Email Deliverability
    Even the best written email message is useless if it never reaches the potential reader. Service providers such as Aweber go to great lengths to ensure that your messages get through to your mailing list members. The newsletter distribution service alone is worth the small fee!
  • A Helping Hand
    Customer support is one of the service providers core strengths. They provide a wealth of video tutorials that take you by the hand and walk you through each step of setting up, creating and sending your messages. If you need more help then their customer support team is just a click away.
For these reasons I believe that Aweber is the ideal hands-free choice for the majority of businesses.

Best Autoresponder Script

If you are comfortable installing complex web scripts and you have a web server that supports PHP and MySQL then my autoresponder script of choice is Interspire Email Marketer (formerly Sendstudio).

It has a wealth of features that ensure your email campaign will be a success, while being under your full control. You also get a good selection of ready made HTML email templates to use in your campaigns, all available at the click of your mouse.

However, as you can imagine, there is a small fly in the ointment. The upgrading and maintenance of the autoresponder system is your full responsibility, so you will need to have the skills to carry out the task as well as allowing time to do it.

If you are technically inclined and prefer to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, the Interspire Email Marketer script will be ideal for you.

Best Autoresponder Software

MailloopAutoresponder software such as Mailloop has taken a back seat in recent years, largely due to the ease of use and affordability of web based services such as Aweber.

However, thanks to the massive growth in broadband connections, autoresponder software is becoming more attractive to smaller businesses who wish to keep all their email marketing options in-house.

Mailloop is a software program that runs on PC windows machines and automates all of your newsletter and sequential email marketing in much the same way that web services or scripts do from a server.

It handles new subscribers as well as removing any unsubscribers from the mailing list, freeing you to get on with all your other tasks.

Overall, if you prefer software to run on your own machine then Mailloop would be a great choice for you.

Best Free Autoresponder

I love free. Many times, a free piece of software or a free service can perform just as well as the bloated, expensive offerings we are more used to.

Unfortunately this is NOT the case with free autoresponders. Using a free autoresponder could actually end up costing your business a fortune. Here's why...

Most people who search for free autoresponders have already decided that their permission email marketing campaign will be a failure. And it won't matter that much because the autoresponder was free, right? Your only investment was your time, which is worth exactly what you think it's worth to you.

But the REAL problems only start when your mailing list becomes successful! See, if your list starts to grow, you will soon discover that there is absolutely nothing you can do with it. You can't:
  • Broadcast Messages
    One of the biggest advantages of having an email list is that you can send out a broadcast message at any time, making time sensitive offers that bring in a quick injection of cash to your business. Not possible with free autoresponders, sorry!
  • Segment Your List
    As your list gets bigger it can be hugely profitable to send out particular messages to small sub-sections of that list, targeting very specific niche groups of buyers. Again, this vital function is missing from free autoresponders.
  • Move Your List
    As your mailing list gets bigger you may wish to transfer it to one of the more professional services such as Aweber. Unfortunately they will expect you to ask your list to re-confirm their subscription. And your subscribers won't. You will lose a substantial majority of your mailing list simply because they can't be bothered subscribing to your list again. It's enough to make a grown businessman cry!
  • Control Your Messages
    As you know, there's no such thing as a free lunch. In order for the 'free' autoresponders to survive they need to make money. They usually do this by sticking THEIR advertisements in with YOUR messages! Are you sure you want YOUR customers to be exposed to ads that you have never seen or approved? I know I don't.
A strong, responsive email list is one of the most profitable assets your business could have. Don't ruin it by using free autoresponders...
