Who's using MailUp integration?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I currently use Constant Contact as my newsletter software and I'm wondering who out there is using MailUp integrated directly with PC?   Can anyone list advantages/disadvantages of the service (specifically compared to CC if possible)?

MailUp's lowest cost plan is already more expensive then what I'm paying for CC monthly, but I'm interested to see where it may excel in usability and features.   I realize I can do a 30 day free trial of MailUp, but figured I'd open it up on the forums and see what your experiences have been.

	I have been looking at this too. I currently use one from Pensaworks which is cheap. As far as Constant Contact, it starts out really low, but look at the fees when your list gets bigger. Whoa! They are outasight. My current list is over 5000 emails addresses. At least with Mailup, there is only one fee. Your list size doesn't matter, just the speed in which they deliver. And that is a good thing, as it better to have the mailer go out slowly over a few days, then all at once, otherwise you get slammed with responses, and your productcart or host freezes up from too many hits at once.

	Howdy We used to use Constant Contact but as said, when we wanted to increase our list over 5000 the cost blew out. What we did was go for a product called Interspire Email Marketer. http://www.interspire.com/emailmarketer/ But they did offer a 1 user login for US$199, (Maybe Ask if interested) but this has been up'ed to a 5 user login for $439. So now there getting a little expensive as well. But we've had a solid increase in sales and newsletter generation using this over CC. Also, its php on Linux. So it cant be run on PCart servers, But saying that its a good security measure to have them separate anyway. We use the internal webhost mail server, for 5000 emails takes about 25 min, in the middle of the night. Hope this helps.

	We switched to MailUp this summer from iContact. The pricing for us was less expensive, but the biggest feature in our switch was the integration with PC. Integration was quick & easy. EI handles the tech support. MailUp has all the bells & whistles you'd expect from an email service: ~tracking ~templates ~groupings ~detailed reporting We've been pleased with our decision to switch.

	I too have switched to interspire email marketer and it is great! And they have a hosted solution for unlimited contacts and pay for each email sent. For 500 a month, it is only 10 dollars! Or you can buy the software and install yourself. I looked at 25 different ones, this one rocks!
