Can you recommend an email marketing vendor?

The following question was sent in by a member looking for a vendor recommendation.

"I'm a lapsed AIMS member (freshly returning from mat leave) and am looking for eCampaign list vendors (i.e. companies that manage email lists). I'm early in the research phase but I'm looking to investigate an eCampaign management system or provider like Yes Mail but someone who is local. Can you recommend any?"

Anyone have any suggestions?

Hi Lapsed Member…

We can get you setup with accounts on either the DREAM/DREAMmail platforms. These are both the former BigFoot and DARTmail platforms, now owned and managed by Epsilon Interactive. Both these platforms will be comparable to the YESMAIL platform you are referring to.

If you need access into YESMAIL, Lyris, Silverpop or any other Tier 1 provider, please do not hesitate to call us. We can help you with setup, support, ongoing daily management and industry best practices.

Good luck in your search.

I can recommend a number of companies but it really depends on your specific needs. YesMail is more of an agency providing email and other services, plus the services and solutions of sister companies.

If you require full services that may include everything from strategy and design to deployment and analysis, I recommend GTA-based companies like:

M Marketing
www.mmarketinginc.com

The Advertising Co.
www.theadvertisingcompany.net

thrillworks
www.thrillworks.com

If you only want access to email lists owned by others (you should not be "buying" email lists for your own deployment) I suggest:

Cornerstone
www.cstonecanada.com

If you want a self-managed, on demand email solution I would be pleased to speak with you. ExactTarget - www.exacttarget.com - has thousands of clients who successfully create, deploy and track their email programs using our solutions.

Please call me if you have questions. I woudl be pleased to provide you with contact names t the companies I recommended.

Dear Lapsed Member,
I represent a local e-marketing vendor, Inbox Advertising.

Before providing you with information about our 'solutions', I'd suggest a quick conversation to discuss your requirements and marketing goals.

From your brief description, it sounds like you are only looking to market to other people's lists. Is that the case, or do you have your own list/database to market to?

Regards,

Al Schwartz
