Constant contact - tanTALK

Does anyone use them? The templates didn't look very tanning friendly, any input would be helpful.

My wife uses constant contact for her business and loves it. She wanted something simple and it seems to fit her needs. She sends out a monthly newsletter. She was able to customize the templates quite a bit. They do charge like $10 a month extra for more than a few images, which can be a problem. You can host the images on your own site, though, to save a few buck.

You can create coupons and several other types of posts/articles/info.

We use it, I'm in the process of deciding if it is the best bank for the buck. The percentage that get opened is low. We have used e-mail specific offers to try and drive usage. The service is easy to use and I would recommend trying it and seeing what your results are, make sure they are measurable in store, ie:coupon.

consistency is key, as in any advertisement!

I just signed up for the free trial and be sure not to go over 100 contacts when using the trial because if you go over the 100 contacts even by 1 then it kicks you out of the free trial and you have to pay for it in order to send it! Just talked to a rep about 20 mins ago... here is the costs I got... $15 per month no contract, but still requires a card to sign up or 6 months for $81 (10% discount & EFT) or 12 months for $153 (15% discount & EFT) and if you decide to do the month to month for $15 and you want to skip a month you will be charged a $25 re-activation fee... so better off doing the 6 months aleast...
