Advantages and Disadvantages of Bulk Emailers

Bulk mailers are used by many internet marketing people who don't have a decent sized list of their own. Most bulk mailers claim to mail out to millions of people. They can be a useful tool in an overall internet marketing strategy, but you must realize their advantages and disadvantages.

ADVANTAGES:-

  1. You don't have to build up your own op-in list
  2. You can email to a large list
  3. No spam complaints as people have already opted in
  4. Easy to use
  5. Able to create HTML ads and use pictures
  6. Can create sign ups, sales from a new source of customers

DISADVANTAGES:-

  1. You don't know how many people are actually reading the emails, many will be junked
  2. Must be used everyday to see any results
  3. Must produce subject lines with a hook that make readers open the email
  4. The good ones cost money to join, some with monthly fees or a one time payment.
  5. Some products don't do well on bulk mailers

Bulk mailers aren't perfect, but they do offer newbies who don't have they own opt-in list a chance to market straight off the bat. Like most things on the internet their are a number of free ones out there, but they normally limit you to mailing once a week, whereas paid ones normally let you email once a day. If you use a free one it can be hard to keep track of when you last used it. Nothing is worse than completing a kick ass ad only to find out you can't send it out for another 3 days.
