Links
Here are links to some recommended resources.
iContact
iContact is the email service we use and wholeheartedly recommend.
The reason you use an email service rather than simply sending out emails via Outlook or your chosen email program, is because when you send out a mass email it is generally seen as spam. But these types of email services have agreements with the major companies that allows emails sent from their servers to be "whitelisted," that is tagged as not being spam.
Also, when you use such an email service, it is easy to build forms people can use to sign up via your website automatically, as well as unsubscribing when they no longer want to receive your emails. This protects you from getting in trouble for sending spam, which can now include significant fines.
The best thing about these email services is something called "autoresponders" which allows you to write and pre-program a series of emails sent out at whatever interval you determine, to those who sign up on your list. This is a very powerful marketing tool that all businesses should be using regularly to build customer loyalty and trust.
