Are you one of those business owners that are finding precious time lost in their day/week just in creating E-mail Blasts or monthly Newsletters to their contact database. Why not hire help for this task? V.A.’s can help design and maintain your monthly mailings (yes even real paper mailings as well as digital)! There are several software options out there to create monthly/weekly mailings like Constant Contact, Swiftpage Aweber, iContact and Get Response just to name a few. Personally, as a VA that has used all three types mentioned, I prefer Constant Contact. It is easy to use and maintain. The reports are very easy to follow. As far as Outlook, there is a limit as to how many contacts you can send to at one time and it will shut you down to prevent spamming. Swiftpage integrates with your Outlook so you only maintain one database but it was difficult for me to manipulate and create Newsletters. I also feel the look of the Newsletter was not as “pretty to the eye” as the Constant Contact templates. Aweber and Get Response offer a double opt in feature for your newsletter or email receivers to help protect you from “spam” reports.
