Bulk emailing has a massive influence upon the connectivity with your client data base and the direct influence upon your company's bottom line or profits.
It is not something that you should be considering doing - but rather you should be considering how to go about doing the mailing. The software involved in the control and sending of bulk e mailing lists is easily available but comes with the following few warnings.
Quality of the software
unfortunately software very often only shows its weaknesses to us long after we have paid for it and have committed ourselves to a long and bumpy path using that software. Please do not get me wrong - there are a lot of high quality and very sophisticated software systems available that will do your bulk e mailing in an extremely efficient way. But you need to be triple certain that you have got the best value for your money before you buy some untried software.
I strongly suggest that if you are going to go the route of purchasing the software to run your own bulk mailing that you do your research very carefully. To the point where you even join the mailing lists of a company that uses the very software that you wish to use.
Running the software programs
No matter how big your business is you are going to be running this software yourself or you are going to need a full time expert assigned to the running of your software. This does not count that you are probably going to need a small marketing department at the same time. The very last thing you need to do to your customer base is to irritate the hell out of them and cause years of damage control.
Equally a poor IT expert sitting in a back office at your business could just as easily foul up the works and send everybody the same message 35 times. Naturally once you have to system running smoothly you should not need to keep awake at nights worrying about details like this.
Can your servers handle the extra workload?
Depending upon the size of your business and data base you might put undue strain on your operating system and cause your entire computer network to blow up or melt down. I am fully aware as to how important it is to never have a second's downtime ever.
So before you go off and try to hook up monster software programs that might put a strain on the electrical grid in your city - please check that it all fits together nicely.
Have you looked at the professionals?
Obviously if you are here reading a report on the basics of bulk email marketing and software then you are very likely already a professional and successful business owner. I would be a fool to think otherwise, but I still need to point out that sometimes more money spent setting up a professional outfit to run and control your bulk marketing is probably the better way to go.
These guys do it for a living, they are so hooked up to the latest ideas and newest trends that you could be doing yourself a serious disservice by trying to save money or control the operation yourself.
Plan it all very carefully, all the pros and cons, and if you do it that way you should end up with the best package to suit your business.
