Don’t you just LOVE competition?

Competition fuels innovation in the marketplace and inspires companies to develop better products.

In the internet marketing realm, there has always been fierce competition between various email auto-responder systems.  As a result,  email auto-responder systems keep getting better and more effective for folks like you and me.

For the sake of this article, I’m going to assume you already understand what a sequential auto-responder is and how essential it is for your business.

Let’s also assume that you are already using one (or multiple services) for your business.

I’m looking for reasons to choose a particular service over another and I’m going to give you some compelling reasons to join in on the conversation…

First,

I WILL ALLOW AFFILIATE LINKS IN YOUR COMMENTS BELOW

But…

Here are a couple ground rules.

1. Contribute.  No posts with a simple “link” will be approved
2. Make it a discussion.  Explain WHY you recommend the autoresponder that you mention in your comment
3. Add value to the conversation
4. Make a compelling arguement for your autoresponder of choice.
5. If someone else has already listed their affiliate link to the autoresponder you want to recommend…don’t feel like you can’t submit your recommendation.  Who knows?  If your comment is more compelling, maybe visitors will click YOUR link.

I will approve all legitimate comments.

Frankly, the aim of this article is to inspire some conversation in the form of comments below this post.  So stick with me here…and let the best auto-responder win.

I’ve tried several auto-responder services in the past but I keep coming back to Aweber.  It’s my personal favorite.

One thing to consider when you are choosing your auto-responder service is the fact that once you build a large database of names for your email marketing efforts, it’s going to be REALLY hard to “switch” companies.  Most companies require double opt-in and if they allow you to import a list from a company you were using before…it’s likely that they will require ALL of your subscribers to opt-in again.

Because of this…

I actually have several auto-responder accounts with different providers.  It’s just to darn hard to convert the names over to Aweber.  So…now I have several accounts.

One company in particular, ImnicaMail, works extremely hard at getting your business by offering list imports WITHOUT verification (within reason).  If you already have a double opt-in list from an Imnica competitor, they will consider your list and help with the import.

So…

Now it’s YOUR turn.

Please leave a comment below to discuss your favorite auto-responder service.

Let the best auto-responder win!
