Looking For a Subs-Based Mailing List Service
I have been searching hi and low for a subs-based mailing list provider that requires customers to pay a recurring monthly subscription to be on the list. The list can then be used to mail offers, etc. I only need something basic, like in the 'Good 'Ol Days', but despite my best efforts I cannot find anything things that comes close, except club membership software which does not seem suitable.
Seeing as I am thinking of testing an idea, it doesn't make sense to invest a large amount of capital initially and I don't really want to upgrade my shared web hosting solution until the idea is proved. The way I see it working is...
- Customer visits website, enters email and hits 'subscribe'.
- Customer is redirected to payment gateway & fills in card info, etc.
- Email address is added to mailing list after successful payment completed.
This solution wouldn't require a double-optin in my view as they have paid to be on the list. Only bulk e-mail sending up to 8 times per month to the entire list is required and the list itself will hold only a limited number of subscribers (ie. max. 10,000). Time-based auto-responders, etc. are not required, but mail stats would be advantageous.
I have been looking at API integrations with solutions such as Stripe and list providers like MailChimp and the like, but this would mean that I would need to upgrade to a virtual server and code a complete solution from the site - not impossible, but a lot of work to just test an idea.
Any input would be most welcome.
