Email Service Provider that does not require double opt-in

[mthompson0931]

Hi:


I am having an issue with finding an Email Service Provider who will email to our list and I am hoping to get some recommendations on who we can use. We have a list of approx 50,000 customers who purchased products from us. I wish to email these customers with new special offers we may have, etc. None of these customers "double opted-in" to our list and that's where the issue is. The US based ESP's won't allow us to send to our database as they are not double opted-in, even though they are ALL actual customers who have purchased from us.


Can anyone recommend an ESP that does not require double opt-in. I believe a NON-US based ESP is probably the best.


Please let me know your recommendations


Thank you,

M

Are you just looking for e-mail newsletter software to host yourself?

www.mailingmanager.co.uk although it is possible to have a single opt in with Aweber and other leading names too. Double opt in has its uses though, subscribers tend to be really receptive to list messages as some effort is needed for them to get on the list.

We use a single opt in service but the price depends on your list size, were you looking to manage it all yourself?

How are they 'not allowing' you to use their system?

Its probably the tight email regulations of some providers @consultant

I appreciate that, but I have put a list of over 100k subscribers onto a US service, without issue.....!

We could potentially do that but would prefer to use an all in one ESP if possible.

Yes, we would manage ourselves

As mentioned, they are not allowing us to use their service because they are not double opt-in. Our business is a direct marketing business - however it was never our intention (though it should have been) to mail out to customers so we did not ask them to opt-in. But it would be kind of silly not to promote products to our customers so clearly that's what we are trying to do.
You mentioned you have your own list and have no issues. I assume it's some kind of marketing newsletter you are sending out? Maybe, that is easier to get through with an ESP as your leads provided you with an email address in exchange for content.
I just want to email paying customers with new offers. I have read that apparently paying customers are just as good as opt-in, but it seems everyone has different thoughts on that. Can you let me know the ESP that you use please?

Still not sure how they are preventing you. Is it a terms and conditions thing or is the software blocking you?

Is the list likely to be stale? It may be worth emailing a small number of users first to see how active your list is. If you haven't emailed them before and the purchase was greater than 6 months ago I would suggest those emails should be discarded.
