Mass Email Newsletter Programs

[MarkPearson]

Does anyone know of any other email campaign program sites that will enable me to send out a news letter.

I have been made aware of this company, but am unable to use them because they only accept the 4 major credit cards :-(

Constant Contact - www.constantcontact.com

Hey Mark,
The site offers a '60 day free trial - no credit card required.'

Thaat would be my go :wink:
Cheers, Nigel

Yes, I started using it and it is great, but allows only 100 email addresses, that is a fraction of what I have in my opt in list.

I currently use a online plain email program to deal with day to day customer service emails, but require a html email program that allows me to send mass 'fancy' emails of offers etc to several different email address lists.

Constant Contact is pretty good. They are an american comany but as I say they only accept visa, mastercard, american express etc... :-(

I do not have these cards, bloody switch maestro!

Can't you get a friend to pay on their card and pay them back by cheque for your accounts?

[MarkPearson]

That's and idea...

Is it just me who has this kind of payment problem?

I have never bothered with credit cards in my life. I have always had an opinion that if I don't have the money I can not spend it.

I'm sure you'll find having one useful in business. If you don't like the idea of a credit card, why not have a business card? You use it like a credit card but have to pay it in full each month by dd. We've got one with HSBC and I think most banks offer them :D

Credit cards are as essential in life as a good wife. The good thing is you can have as many credit cards as you can afford, but no-one can afford more than one wife.

Now Mark, HSBC business accounts have a great facility called Commercial Card, which works as a Mastercard but is debited from your savings account at the end of each month. Other banks may have a similar card. Perhaps you could enquire for future use.

Yes, I have my personal account with Natwest and my business account.

It seems odd that for business they give you a switch/maestro card when its highly likely that in this day and age that a business will need to do trasactions other than this.

Is Switch just a UK / European thing?

Could you update this thread once youve found a good solution mark, im in a similar situation.

Can you not request a visa debit card from Natwest?
