[ImincaMail] Is this good to use?

georgedinmore · 08-31-2011, 04:03 PM

The reason i ask, is i use it.

And so far, its rather unreliable.

Delayed confirmation emails, delayed first email.

Some marketers i subscribe to, have changed their providers due to delayed emails being sent to their subscribers.

And the thing is, i use their service because they recommend it to me.

So really, should i unsubscribe from Imnica and them marketers, or should i just grim and bare the service i currently get.

I am just getting into email marketing, and so far, i have had bad experience after another.

Tried iContact, i can not understand how you use it.
Won't try Aweber, as they aren't save regarding keeping the emails save. Because they are always getting hacked.
Get response, i think they are a bit teep compared to the two i just mentioned.

I just want the best value for my money and the best for my business. I am not being tight. Just being considerate for my business.

i dont recommend ImincaMail and since email should be a big part of your business, i would get with someone i had confidence in.

i use aweber and 1shoppingcart.com (willie crawford has a 1shoppingcart private label called profitautomation.com i think) he is a good guy, they might be worth a look.

i know all of them have their issues, but i still believe aweber is the best of breed system.

profitautomation is much cheaper for a big list and the deliverablity is solid. they had some issues a couple years back, but now i am almost as pleased with their overall product as aweber.

George, if they are not reliable for you, who cares what other people think of them?

Find an alternative. The fact that the people who recommended them are switching should give you a great big serving of clue...

It's a big commitment to pick an autoresponder, but there's no such thing as a 'best' autoresponder.

Here's the deal.

Aweber is probably the best. It also has a $1 trial.

GetResponse is good too. $9.95 a month.

Imnica Mail is great because there is a free option or $3 for 1000 opt-ins a month.

So choose in that order.

probably the biggest issue when choosing an AR service is to think about who you think will still be a solid choice 2 years from now.

the pain of separation with an AR service is huge. once you pick one, its hard to change and it will cost you hard earned subscribers if you do.

i remember many years ago, i was using a service called proautoresponder.com. they let people put audio files embedded in their AR messages long before audio was in fashion.

but then one day they were gone with all my subscribers. i had backups, but it still cost me about 40% of my list.

so i would be pretty conservative and not put much thought to one service offering you a $10 discount for the first month. Your list will probably be your biggest asset to your online business.

no one can predict the future, think enron or gm going bankrupt, but i would stick to one of the proven leaders in the industry.

your AR service is not the place to save a couple of bucks

It has very bad support & always got "problems"

no support whatsoever with imnica.

We have had some SERIOUS problems over the past year plus, but, we handle them, learn from them and continue to grow.

I would get really concerned when we DON'T have any issues, as it means we're not growing.

MOST, not all, but most of our issues has been due to super fast growth.

Right now, there are NO issues, other than a bit of a support backlog. Sending is SUPER fast. Site is fast, and everything is in a pretty good state right now.

Support is lagging because our damn support script barfed all over incoming emails, and stopped pulling them in for a few weeks. When we found the problem, there were close to 1000 emails in the queue, which would cause any company a bit of a support backlog.

We screamed at the support software provider, and they finally fixed the issue, and assured us it won't happen again.

No excuses. We've messed up, and we've been slow with support, and we've had issues.

Never tried to hide it.

Working our backsides off to fix and prevent any future problems.

Nothing more we can say or do to convince people to try us, or, stay with us.
