Running a small business requires you to get your name out there without missing any chances. I currently use a web service that sends me the names and e-mail addresses of bride's that are getting married. I take this info and send them an e-mail as part of marketing. What I'm trying to find is the best tool for sending this. For the longest time I have just been using Gmail to send out e-mails. However, this isn't very dynamic. For a short time I was using a web based service called Constant Contact. This was actually working really well, and since I was keeping my mailing list under 50 people, I never had to pay. Then they changed their policies and payment is needed. That's when I went back to using Gmail.
With Apple's latest OS, mail.app allows for you to create your own stationary. I figured, this is great! I can make a cool e-mail and send it out from there. Well, I've done that for three weeks and this morning when I checked it at work, I noticed that on the receiving side, it's not coming out right. All of the words and pictures are there, but the link doesn't work. This is maybe the most important thing that I need to work.
Now I am on a quest to find a mass e-mail program. Something that is simple but will let me sent out good looking e-mails. It's not the easiest thing to find, and I can't really test them at work since the STMP is blocked on the network. This means sometime before next weeks mailings, I will have to find something.
