Email Marketing With Autoresponders

Autoresponder Program

AutoResponse Plus Review – Complete System for Your Website with No Recurring Payments: 5 Stars

AutoResponse Plus

Type:
CGI (Perl) script for installation to your server – Free Professional Installation

Pros: Price and power are the main benefits of this script. As a script based autoresponder, you pay one fee to own the script. The license is goodautoresponsebox.jpg for running any number of autoresponder messages or campaigns from one server and one domain. Therefore, the life-cycle cost is much lower than subscription based services. This script is very powerful and contains all the features of the web-based services and more.

The installation guide is very thorough, and you can try to install the script yourself, but professional installation is available for free. Recently updated to AutoResponse Plus , a wide variety of features and functions have been added, making this script based autoresponder service the most powerful and versatile available. Strong forum support to help solve common technical problems without having to go through Customer Support. Strong Customer Support section if you do have a problem the forum people can’t help with.

Cons:The many options comes with a price of being more complicated to set up than the web based services. With professional installation available for free, this really isn’t a problem.

Mailloop Version 7 Review – Desktop Email Marketing on Steroids: 4.5 Stars

Mailloop Email System: 4.5 Stars.

I don’t ordinarily reprint the marketing information provided by a software marketer, but after evaluating Mailloop (just upgraded to Version 7), I’m convinced that this is the best software based mailing and marketing manager available. One price and you never have to pay recurring fees for autoresponder services again! Recommended.

I couldn’t say it better than what is provided by the company itself:

“Is this email marketing software all hype?

Or, does Mailloop REALLY have the potential to
help you grow a six-figure income Internet business?”

Product Review of “Mailloop: email and Business Automation Software”

Are you drowning in a sea of email chores…? Sure, email is now considered to be one of the top 3 essential Internet marketing strategies:

>> A single email campaign can be worth $1,000s (if not TENS of $1,000s) in sales — in less than 24 hours.
>> And unlike like offline advertising, there are NO printing, envelope, or postage costs to take a bite out of your profits — email is FREE to send.

… The PROBLEM is, unless you automate your email chores early in your business lifecycle, what you’re *saving* on postage and printing costs COULD be eaten up by 100s of wasted hours.

It’s not really FREE to send an email campaign if it takes you 3 days to actually get it out the door!

Fortunately, today there are software and services available that take the grunt work out of sending email campaigns, newsletters, and autoresponders…

… Leaving you free to worry about the fun stuff, like crafting high-impact email campaigns… or automating your backend sales with series of autoresponders!

A favorite on my list of tools is Derek Gehl’s (of Internet Marketing Center fame) Mailloop — email and Business Automation Software.

Are people REALLY increasing profits
with Mailloop? Or, is it all hype?

Personally, I’ve always been comfortable using and recommending Mailloop to my friends and business associates because it has a proven track-record.

The software has been around (and evolving through updates) since 1998… and was originally built by Derek’s team to manage their own email marketing campaigns, which now…

Generate over $3.5 Million is sales per year!!!!!!

Of course, if you’re just getting started, software that manages email campaigns worth MILLIONS of dollars per year might seem a bit out of your league.

So I think it’s important to note that Mailloop also has a long, proven track-record of helping “Regular Joe’s” who have started small (with NO opt-in list or experience sending email) grow to a six-figure income — and beyond!

(If you visit Derek Gehl’s website, you can read actual case studies of these real people, and see proof of their RESULTS! Click here now.)

Sure it’s more affordable… but are you
giving up features and control?

If you’re price conscious like me, you’ll also appreciate the value-for-the-dollar Mailloop gives you.

Mailloop has been designed to give small and home-based business owners ALL the email automation tools you need, in one easy-to-use software interface…

So while many of the email management services used by the Fortune 500s will “two-bit” you to death with extra charges that can run into the $1,000s per year, with Mailloop you get everything you need to…

  • Easily collect email addresses from an opt-in form on your website
  • Subscribe and unsubscribe people from your list automatically
  • Import existing lists of opt-in customers and subscribers
  • Send professional-looking email campaigns — in text and HTML
  • Manage MULTIPLE newsletters from one interface
  • Automate your customer service with autoresponders
  • Send automated “follow-up” emails with unlimited autoresponders

… Plus tons more, all for one very reasonable, low one-time payment — and NO EXTRA charges, ever!

What about support? Will you be crying
by your computer at 2 a.m.?

Here’s where I really give Derek and his team some serious praise.

mailloop_7_boxshotUntil a couple of years ago, support for the Mailloop software was limited to some videos and a help manual. Yes, there were a few staff dedicated to supporting customers, but I generally get the impression they were spread too thin.

In the last couple of years, though, Derek and IMC have really beefed up their technical support… I take it this has happened in response to customer demand.

So now, not only has Mailloop been streamlined with these GREAT wizards that walk you step by step through all the critical tasks like sending your first email, setting up your first autoresponder, etc…

… Mailloop ALSO now comes with a complete suite of video tutorials, a customer support center, and personal support on-demand from a very knowledgeable, and VERY available, team of Internet marketing experts.

So getting set up with Mailloop and sending your first email campaign is a breeze…

The final verdict… Is Mailloop a diamond or a dud?

Overall, I give Mailloop my highest recommendation.

Not only do you get the entire suite of email management tools for a low, one-time payment — a value of literally $1,000s per year…

… You also get unlimited support from IMC’s experienced staff… something other service providers are charging $100+ per hour for!

And with Mailloop’s track-record of helping regular people boost their incomes over six-figures per year, you can be confident that you’re using a software that’s already PROVEN to get results!

To get started with Mailloop, OR learn the strategies Derek Gehl used to make over $3.5 Million last year alone with email marketing, visit:http://www.marketingtips.com/mailloop

I give Mailloop my HIGHEST recommendation for a desktop based system!

Promasoft Autoresponder for Windows – Autoresponder on Your Desktop: 3 Stars

 

Update for 2019: Promasoft Autoresponder software is no longer available. We recommend trying Getresponse instead.  Click here for information about Getresponse!

 

Promasoft Autoresponder 3 Stars

Pros: You only have to pay once, and the cheapest version is less than many year long subscriptions for web based services. Allows the creation of filters which will automatically send out user prepared letters to various types of messages, with no need for supervision.. As opposed to previous versions of the same software, no full time internet access is necessary. You can try the fully functional copy for thirty days before purchasing registration codes.

Cons: As a windows based program, this runs on your computer, taking up space and processing speed. Unlike web-based or script-based services, it only checks e-mail as often as you schedule it to do so, not instantly (similar to e-mail program such as Outlook).

Price:

Lite Edition- Euro 67

Personal Edition- Euro 147

Professional Edition- Euro 287

Enterprise Edition- Euro 1397

Price is in Euros, but they use PayPal so you can pay through any currency PayPal supports, including the dollar. There are also discounted upgrade prices available, if you misjudged your needs.

Summary: In Personal Edition, ads are included on the interface of the program. These are removed in the

Professional Edition, and the Enterprise Edition allows usage of software on any number of (your) computers. All versions allow ad free messages — that is even with the Personal edition, all of the emails that the program sends are ad free. This makes the Personal Edition a great deal for the price!

Lite Edition doesn’t contain many of the features which are present in all other versions of the program. Specific features available in each version can be viewed here.

PromaSoft AutoResponder is a windows based autoresponder. It requires a computer to constantly run itself. The price above is only paid once. The following is a list of features provided by the official PromaSoft AutoResponder web site.

 

Auto Responders

 

 

PSAR most important feature — you can define as many auto responders as you want. Each of these auto responders can be triggered depending on certain keywords (with wildcard support) in various regions of the received email but you can also use advanced formulas where you can decide to act on a message depending on more complex criteria. These advanced formulas support VBScript.

HTML capabilities

PSAR allows the user to reply using the HTML format and also to send group mailings in the HTML format without leaving PSAR using the built in wysiwyg HTML editor.

Act as mail server

PSAR can act as a mail server whereby it will directly send outgoing mail to the SMTP server of the recipients.

Group mailings with Follow up

Create of as many group mailing setups as you want with as many follow up letters as you want. Send out a series of different emails on a predefined interval.

Scheduler

using the scheduler you can schedule your mailings and newsletters to go out whenever you want. This includes scheduling options for the follow up threads.

Web Form handling

Create as many survey databases as you want and use these to perform mail merged mailings. Export to other database applications, excel, word and others…

Dial-up Support

Now you can use PSAR in automatic mode using your normal dial-up connection. You no longer need full-time access to the internet. PSAR will automatically connect, retrieve your mail, reply to it and disconnect at predefined intervals.

Attachments

The possibility to use as many attachments as you want in the group mailings and follow-up letters.

Dual Addressing

You can specify a specific return address per defined filter. This allows you to employ PSAR for different persons in your organization as if you would run multiple copies of PSAR.

Reply to different sources

you can have PSAR reply to either the from, return-path or reply-to headers of incoming email or to the 1st or 2nd email ID in the body of the email.

Forwarding

Use mail merge files from virtually any other database or office application using the popular CSV format. You could even create them manually. Also use the database files created by the PS Autoresponder form handler.

Extensive forwarding options

Forward your received email to any address you like. Every filter can have a different forwarding address. Forward left over email (not trapped by any of your other filters) to a low traffic email address so you can read what is important.

User definable keywords

Define your own keywords to be used in your mailings, newsletters and filter definitions. These keywords are replaced with the text you specified before at the time they leave PS Autoresponder. For instance put $signature$ in all you mailing definitions. Any time you change the keyword definition all your mailings will have the new signature. These keywords can even hold complete texts.

Statistics

Everyone knows that it is important to know which target audience you are reaching. To help you to do this PS Autoresponder will include even more statistics.

Totally Automatic

PS Autoresponder will perform ALL operations totally automatic. These operations include: auto responding, sending out mailings and sending out newsletters. You could leave PS Autoresponder to run for days. 24 by 24 and 7 by 7.

Spamming preventive options

In the functional design stage of PS Autoresponder utmost care was taken to ensure that you are protected as good as possible from being liable of spamming. This does not mean that the program will hide your identity but it does mean that all tools are available to give your target audience the options to be removed from your auto responder, mailings or newsletters. PS Autoresponder can also be configured to prevent you from sending multiple emails to the same person in a short period of time. And more…

Note: PromaSoft condemns all use of of the application as a means to Spam.

Filters

Unattended

PS Autoresponder can run totally unattended and independent from you normal email application. If you make use of the forwarding functions you can for instance pass left over mail to another email account read by a human. This way you don’t need to worry about filtered out email.

Statistics

Daily statistics are kept so you can see how many message are being received, replied to and deleted from your mail server. You will even see who has sent how many messages to you and how many times your have replied to that person. You can see how many times a certain filter has matched a message.

Email lists

PS Autoresponder will maintain a list of all email ID’s you have ever received mail from or replied to. This list is used to keep track of the people you have communicated with and also flags them if they want to be excluded from further replies and mailings. Next to this there are import and export functions.
