Fact: There are 50+ email marketing software providers. Each and every ESP promises the best deliver-ability, the easiest to use interface, and the best customer service.
Well, we don’t believe it so we recently launched the first iteration of our email marketing software comparison tool. Here’s why- We’ve used many different platforms (Constant Contact, MailChimp, Active Campaign, Get Response, etc.) and all are NOT created equal.
What Determines the “Best” Email Software?
We looked at a few main areas:
- Email Marketing Features: Email marketing software sends email, simple, right? Not at all. Sure we all want “great deliverability” but that’s mostly your responsibility, not the ESP luckily. The devil is in the details and knowing which features you need is important. Do you need autoresponders and automation? How about beautiful, mobile-friendly templates to work from? Ecommerce integration? Etc.
- Email Integrations: Where do you get your email subscribers and how does that integrate with your ESP (email seoftware provider)? When someone signs up to your list, do you need to send that information to another system? Getting the right email marketing software with the right system integrations built-in always makes things easiest.
- Email Marketing Price: Price is always an issue, although many of the email marketing software providers are in the same neighborhood for small lists. For quickly growing lists, costs can get high so choosing a partner.
