Email Marketing Services
These are all reputable companies who will stay on top of emerging laws and make sure your email marketing complies with them. They also have a good track record for helping your emails make it into the inbox of your subscribers. These are affiliate links, which means if you click through my link and sign up for a paid plan I will get a small commission.
MailChimp This is the service I currently use, however I do not necessarily recommend it above the others. I think it is pretty intuitive and has a generous free plan but if you imagine you will grow an online component to your business the other service providers listed below are considered to be more robust.
Convertkit is known for being really flexible and easy to use. If you think you’ll outgrow mailchimp, but want to make sure that you’re not getting in over your head, convertkit may be a good choice.
Aweber has been the gold standard for email marketing for a long time. As a large and established business their reputation and delivery rates are rock solid.
