Infusionsoft VS Fantasos (delavo) + Aweber...

I'm using fantasos since a while and I love it. However, the problem is that aweber is a separate service so it's hard to track the email marketing effort using fantasos as some part of datas for a user lies in fantasos and another in aweber.

I have heard good thing about infusionsoft. Since, it has email marketing built in, I think it will be a good choice. The main problem is its pricing. It charges separately for the email sent which is quite expensive.

Any input on this? What should I use?

If you have used any of these system or all then I'll be glad to see your input.

I use Delavo too. Here's something by a Warrior
putting Infusion up against Nanacast. It may
clarify what you'd be getting into moving over
to Infusionsoft.

Hi,

I have developed a good client of mine with Infusionsoft.
Yeah they charge high prices...

But Overall system was performing as per the client's expectations..
and They are still using InfusionSoft after a year or so...

Again as price is high.. I suggest you do proper search of the features
you need before you signup with them.

That time there were few Negative experiences too posted by some people
with them..so google InfusionSoft for more background search before you
finally sign-up with them.

Best Regards,
Mohsin

I REALLY like Infusionsoft.

No system is perfect (and there's some annoying parts of Infusion too) but there's a reason the market leaders use it. And people like Rich Schefren's team REALLY use the functionality to do lots of advanced stuff.

That's one of the reason I want to switch to infusionsoft. By the way, what's your observation regarding paying for each broadcast. I think it's $1 or $2 per 1000 email broadcast. I think its too much costly if you are going to broadcast just for content newsletter with no pitch at all.

You only pay if you send more emails than you have included in your plan.

e.g. the Deluxe package includes 75,000 emails per month.

But it limits the number of contacts: 50,000 only. That means if you are going to email your entire list more than once then it will cost you more.

I think you're right in wanting to have your list management
and the rest of your business all under one roof.

With Infusionsoft everything is integrated in one place. So the
customer database, autoresponder, shopping cart and affiliate
systems are all linked and 'talk to one another.'

I used to have my business in different systems (e.g my AR with
one company, my shopping cart with another company) and it
became a nightmare very quickly.

However, back in April 2009, I began to move my lists over to
Infusionsoft and I'm delighted with them.

By far, the most important reason for going with Infusionsoft
is their advanced follow-up capability that allows you to vary
the follow-up sequence - depending upon the behavior of the
subscriber.

And with Infusionsoft, you can set-up follow-up sequences
that go out via e-mail and offline via direct mail, fax broadcasting,
voice broadcasting, SMS, etc.

No system is perfect though. There's a bit of a learning curve
for Infusionsoft (as there is with Fantasos and Nanacast too).

Regarding pricing - if you segment your lists correctly and manage
your relationship with your subscribers well, then price should
not be an issue.

Yes - Infusionsoft appears to be expensive - starting at $199/month
just for the Basic Package that gives you access to their autoresponder
features.

However, many other third-party providers, such as AWeber
and GetResponse now have tiered pricing that goes up with
the number of subscribers in the account.

Infusionsoft is a more sophisticated system that is very powerful
in the hands of a decent marketer and will still cope once your
business expands.

That's why big gurus like Frank Kern, John Reese, Rich Schefren,
Perry Marshall, Jay Abraham, Dan Kennedy, John Carlton and
Clayton Makepeace all use Infusionsoft.

Of course, they can afford Infusionsoft too but if your business
is at the right level and can manage the cost, then Infusionsoft
is a good option.

There are other options out there but none of them have the
advanced follow-up system capabilities like Infusionsoft.

Dedicated to your success,

Shaun

But what if you broadcast content newsletter to all your subscribers? These type of broadcast don't justify for the $2/1000 email cost. Any suggestion for this?
