Please help us to get started with email marketing
During the past 6 months or so we have generated a list of about 3,000 paying customers and about 4,000 others who have just subcribed to a newsletter.
We haven't gotten round to sending out weekly newsletters and now we want to do it.
All names are single opt in, but as I mentioned many are also email addresses from actual customers.
I would say we will need to be able to import about 10,000 email addresses in a month or so. We want to send a message at least once per week. So to start with we will have a volume requirement of about 50,000 messages a month sent to the 10,000 subscribers/customers. Not having sent out emails like this yet, we want to avoid getting blacklisted or treated as a spammer by doing this wrong.
What is a good way to be able to start sending out newsletters with decent deliverability rates.
Our website is on a shared hosting account.
We tried to set up some recommended software from a company (who shall remain nameless) so that we managed our own list. Bad idea. Or at least a bad choice of software.
This turned out to be a complete waste of time and a few hundred dollars as it was very buggy, ate up disc space and we couldn't get it to run properly, despite many support calls.
I believe some services need lists to be double opt in. Ours isn't.
I thought mail chimp would be a good possibility for us and then I found out they don't allow businesses in our niche.
For some reason this is becoming quite a problem for us to get the ball rolling.
Please help!
Thanks,
Mike
