This has the advantage of continual upgrades and is the easiest option of all but with the most features. They have been established since 1989. They allow you to send an unlimited number of sequential autoresponders to your mailing list as well as newsletters and broadcast emails. There are over 150 templates as well as easy to use forms and pop-ups to help build your subscribers list. The tracking provided is very good and you can monitor where your subscribers are coming from as well as every aspect of the actions taken from within each message. All this combined with video tutorials, an easy to use interface and great customer service makes getresponse my personal favourite. P.S They have a free version and a 30 day free trial offer.

Personal experience

I have only been using getresponse for about a year now but my experience with both the company and the software has been great. I am alot more skilled on the computer now than I was back then and really appreciated the video tutorials, I still got stuck a few times and had to send an email (there is a live chat option also) and they answered within a few hours. The software is great with lots of options and features (more than I will ever use). The tracking is in depth and I find it a very effective part of my business. It has actually doubled my sales.
