Choosing an email marketing provider

If you're trying to choose an email marketing provider, there's a few things you should consider. Take a look at these top tips on what you should look when when choosing an email marketing provider:

1. Ensure that the system is easy to use. Have a demonstration so that you know exactly how the system works. The team at eShoutz are more than happy to give you a full demo of the system; how to create, send and report on email marketing campaigns.

2. You should choose a system that does not require you to send high volumes of emails. Ensure that you are not committed to sending thousands of emails on a regular basis.

3. Check that the software is provided by a UK company. Using a provider overseas often limits the support available due to time differences. If you use a UK provider you can often receive face-to-face training and office hour support.

4. Use an email marketing provider that has its own design service. That way you can be sure that the design is not only attractive but also works with the software. eShoutz has its very own design team who can design and create email newsletters to reflect your needs and branding.

5. It is always useful to sign up to a provider’s trial account. Therefore once you have had a demonstration of the system you can create a demo account and get colleagues to log in and give you their opinions on the system. You can also see how easy or difficult it really is to use the system on your own.

You can sign up to a free eShoutz trial and test the system for yourself at http://www.eshoutz.com/freetrial.
