    I have setup a few email templates for people to send email campaigns and the price can vary a lot between different companies depends really on how elaborate you want your template.

    I suggest you look after the content yourself if you are on a budget. It pretty straightforward to use the likes of campaign monitor. Cost is 5 dollars per campaign plus 1 cent per recipient so for example if I had 10,000 recipients the campaign would cost me 105 us dollars.

    The reporting is very informative too.

    Resellers will add on their own charges so it will generally cost at least double that per campaign.

    You could also use mailchimp if your groups are smaller you can send up to 2,000 recipients for free if memory serves me correctly.

    A Email Marketing Company was onto me today,

    €500 for design and €350 a month thereafter,

    Thought that was a bit dear?

    hey I usually use the industry standard provider aweber for small business applications. Although it does have an annoying habit of sending optin messages to newly added contacts when you are trying to transfer them from your old email list. This can scare old clients that dont understand what the message means.

    What I generally do if you have a small list is create an optinform on my website and manually add the names with the optin email turned off. (I know Michele will have choice words about list ethics and morality etc, but if your list was already optin then this should be fine).

    Aweber has great services, pay only for the number of subscribers to your list and price starts at $20 per month. Great templates, easy to customise, As many optin forms as you like, tracks all your emails, and you dont have to pay for every email update.
