As of right now, i just email my past clients with reminders/thank you's from my spreadsheet of hundreds of emails. Anyone use CC? Is it worth the price to have someone else do it for me or should i just keep doing what ive been doing?

 

[Beeks]

no one uses CC i see...

I know there are a few here who have used it , they might not be daily viewers.

We are sending out 10's of thousands a week so it is worth it. You will have to evaluate how you will use it and make the judgement of the time savings vs cost.

 

[Beeks]

good point, have you confirmed that the emails always make it to the inbox and not the spam box?

 

[Desk Jockey]

Can you send me one, I'd like to see your message.

Hello, I'm new here. First post. Just signed up and this is the first post I seen and I already think I can add value. We use SendGrid. It works great, I'd recommend you check it out.

I was mistaken guys- we stopped using constant contact 2 year ago and now our eblasts are handled by our web hosting company for a much less.

We're currently using self-directed Mail Chimp.

For us it's very easy to design and send e-mail, and the program does a good job of helping you avoid spammy titles, tracks opens and click-throughs, and automates the opt out for people that don't want your mailings. It keeps you from being labeled a spammer. Mail Chimp is free for a database of under 2,000 subscribers and you can send 12,000 messages per month for free.

Once our in-house system is updated we'll be doing it on our own, but Mail Chimp has been a great way to learn best practices.

PS: Even if you decide to do it on your own, take some time to read the Mail Chimp knowledge base articles.

I would definitely use a service, much easier as you grow. It's cheap anyway.
