As freelance consultants and business owners we are constantly looking for ways to promote our services. Using high quality email promotion to recipients who have asked to be on your mailing list is one very effective mechanism to achieve this objective. Unfortunately, the delivery of this service can actually be expensive and difficult to manage as it is almost impossible to co-ordinate from your personal email service.

Typically therefore a provider is used to facilitate the delivery and manage the individual campaigns. For some good tips on how to prepare a quality email campaign click here and go to Web Chameleon who provide some excellent homespun advice on the how's and wherefore's. The email service provider that I came across was www.mailchimp.com.au. I'm very impressed and really like their service model. Essentially they are targeting a volume market and allow you to use the service for free if you register under 2000 subscribers and email less than 12,000 shots a month. That's a lot of emails and excellent promotion of your business.
