I have been requested by a client to provide a newsletter type, e-mail marketing solution for them, can anyone recommend something, or point me in the right direction?

have a look at phplist - http://www.phplist.com/ seems pretty good, and you can CRON the jobs so that if you are on a shared server it doesnt use all the resources.

If your host has fantastico installed then it should be a preinstalled script for you.

MailBuild (http://mailbuild.com) is great if you want to set up custom templates and have a super easy to use system they can manage themselves - you just get sent the profits each month. Freshview is an Aussie company who I interviewed a few months ago (http://www.hatchthat.com/david-greiner/) at Hatchthat.

Aweber is the king of subscription services ... aweber.com

I use 1shoppingcart.com - but then, I use the full version of that for product sales and stuff, so it's probably overkill for just a newsletter.

I've also heard good things about constantcontact.com - I used to use it when they had a trial that was free up to X members, but that was a year or so ago ... was good then, though.

Hey Leela,

Thanks for the feedback, I have heard lots of good things about aweber and managing a list, I think I will look into it for sure.

I was hoping for more of a self hosted solution like phplist, but then I realized being on a shared host you are limited to the amount of emails you can actually send out per hour/day.

I have started to use phplist for now as my list base is under 2000 so this doesnt seem to impact the server on mailouts at all.. maybe as it grows I will look into a hosted solution

[rosshill]

Just be aware that if you grow a decent list at one place then decide to move elseware you may have to ask people to opt in again and that could have a big effect on your subscriber numbers. I know it is tough but make the decisions early before you put a lot of effort into growth, move quickly if you're not happy or try a few out.

A newsletter is a template where we put news related to our website and then mail it to our clients. This is called e-mail marketing by newsletter. This is beneficial for both owner of website as well as clients.

E-mail marketing is a very cost effective marketing tool if used properly, can catapult sales to new levels. If your online business or simply a mom and pop stores, the largest technology is thirty years old, cash register, your company can benefit from email marketing. In this age of high technology, you can use email almost as an automated marketing team. You can really give information about the product and the company and get the client and customer review. This is really a very economical method of marketing.

Mailchimp or Constantcontact are two email campaign organizers.

Yeah I would have to second Leela, Aweber is hands down the best in my opinion.

Cheap, easy to run, and loads of tracking info, open rates, unsubscribe rates, popularity, etc.

Brilliant for email marketing campaigns.

I think you should consider using mailchimp,
it's free up to about 2500 subscribers I believe
it is super easy,
and you can of course customise it
take a look at this link here: http://mailchimp.com/

I'm not quite sure what you're asking with this question but if you're talking about communications businesses, why aren't they marketing using their communications services or devices? Think of a web designer. What would his best sales tool be? That's right! His website!
