Managing Your Autoresponders

HI all,

There are members on here who have big lists, I'm not talking about sheer numbers, I talking about heavily segmented list, and I'm wondering how those members manage their list, particularly in regard to managing scheduling and organizing follow-up emails.

But I don't mean your 'normal ' followup emails...

Let's suppose you have an Aweber list, and you have 50 different lists.

All the list are made up of people interested in Internet Marketing information

And we'll say all your list are set up and categorized into ' Customers' and 'Prospects' . Eg

Prospects who are interested in Product x
Customers who have purchased Product x

Prospects who are interested in Product y
Customers who have purchased Product y

Prospects who are interested in Product z
Customers who have purchased Product z
etc

Now you want to start to do cross promotions and broadcast offers to each of the different lists

So you want to do a broadcast information about Product x to lists for Product x, and Product z

Then a few days later you want to broadcast information about Product y to lists for Product x, and Product z

Then a few days later you want to broadcast information about Product z to lists for Product x, and Product y

And that's just for the first email?

It's get hellishly complex to manage and organize if you have a lot of lists and you want to send a series of cross promotions broadcasts to all of them on a regular basis over time

But that's just the start, things get even more complicated trying to manager when to send all these different broadcasts so that they don't cross over ...double up...get missed

Those of you with big lists must encounter this type of issue, and so I'm wondering is there's any automated solution out there that can manage broadcasts in that way. I know I haven't found anything.

None of the AR' services that I know of can come close to managing that type of thing to that level.

It would be nice if there was an app. where you could say enter your list ID, write the email......allocate the lists that would be involved in that specific cross promotion .....set up the dates. Then press a button and get out the weeks cross promotions.

Of course you'd be using your own AR service to send everything (as you normally send emails to your list.)

I'm specifically talking about the back end management side of all this

Don't want much do I..

I know I could probably set it all up in a spread sheet, but that whole thing would be way to hands on.

I hope I've explained everything clearly.

Thanks for reading this.
