any mass mailer cheaper than MailChimp?

15 replies
Hello, my opt-in list swallowed to 200K and cannot bear anymore the costs.

Is there anything good but not as expensive as MailChimp? Thanks

    YEAH, AWEBER ROCKS... BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT YOUR LIST, IT'S THE FACT YOU ARE NOT PUSHING PRODUCTS ENOUGH ON TO YOUR STAGNANT SUBSCRIBERS...

    YOU SHOULD "WANT USERS TO UNSUBSCRIBE" OFF YOUR LISTS IF THEY ARE NOT MAKING YOU ANY MONEY...

    ONLY PUT PEOPLE ON YOUR LISTS WHO EARN YOU CASH...

    OTHERWISE USE YOUR LISTS TO DO CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR YOUR PRODUCT/S IF YOU ARE A PRODUCT VENDOR...

    DON'T JUST LET PEOPLE SIT ON YOUR LISTS WITH OUT MAKING YOU ANY CASH... HOPE HELPS...

      Mail Chimp is going to be one of the cheapest options for a white listed email service.

      There are other services that are cheaper, but I dont think you will find their delivery to be good.

      I would always pay more to have better delivery then less cost.

        Good point but I experienced an open rate of just about 60% with MailChimp despite my list is all double opt-in.

          You dont think a 60% open rate on a double opt in list is very good?

            But don't they charge according to how big your list is? The bigger the list, the more you pay?

      Thanks but it looks like you are promoting it a lot around the forum so you have a conflict of interest plus it seems it is not what I need because it is an auto-responder while I need to send genuine newsetters.

        Mailchimp - is a way to send newsletters and generate optin lists. Not mass mail. They would ban you at your first attempt. A good solution for simple customer email blasts of opted in leads.

        TEAR - is a mass mailing software intended to be hosted on a VPS or DS and you would need an SMTP provider if you did not want to rotate IP's. A good and cheap solution if you wanted to mass automate conversations with live or old leads

        So from what it seems u need is something like Mailchimp, GetResponse, Aweber, etc.

          Mailchimp says

          More than 8 million people and businesses around the world use MailChimp. Our features and integrations allow you to send marketing emails, automated messages, and targeted campaigns. And our detailed reports help you keep improving over time.

          I would say it is an email campaigns software, when using it it certainly looks like that too.

    If you don't mind a self-hosted solution, you may want to try Sendy.

    I still have not been able to send an email to my whole list since this thread.

    Any new cheaper option than MailChimp/Aweber around for a 200K list? I only need to send 1 email in order to filter all non-paying members.

    Thanks

  • Are these 200k email addresses real opt-ins?
