Should You Buy Email Marketing Software

If you do not know by now, there are a few reliable business email hosting providers offering their members the same features and benefits as an email client, if not even more. From unlimited storage, to data backup and hassle-free anti spam & anti virus protection “ these are options one can find on most email providers.

The question is: should you still buy an email marketing client?

Why would you do it? Here are a few key reasons:

Privacy is a key concern in today's Economy, so if you are sitting on the fence and dislike the idea of allowing somebody else (be it a reputable third party provider or ISP) to host your email correspondence, then using a software client would be the right thing to do, long term wise.

2. If you want to run your mailing list and need click tracking and open rate statistics for maximum performance, then the proper software to handle your email marketing looks like being the next logical step.

3. If you are not a professional graphic designer and you want your emails and newsletters to look and feel professional, then an email client might provide you with built-in newsletter templates or layouts/skins you can download for that particular software.

So, before you decide for your email client, make sure it meets your business goals and individual objectives. Due diligence is required like in anything we do in life.
