350 Templates

  • Yes, at least 350 templates.
  • Internally, we display about 100 thumbnails of templates for user selection, many of which provide access to 3 to 12 different templates selected by border/background/header style, each with unique graphics.

Professionally designed templates

  • Yes. Absolutely.
  • Our templates are some of the most advanced and flexible in the industry.
  • Most services provide only the most basic one column templates and basic two column templates with a simple header banner graphic. (StreamSend offers 14 very basic templates, for example.)
  • We offer templates with complex layouts, automatic table of contents, one-click audio-video-flash presentations, playlists, and social networking.
  • We also offer professionally designed ready-to-send content.
  • We also offer professionally designed templates made-to-order.

WYSIWYG editor

  • We offer the most powerful and stable Rich Text HTML WYSIWYG editor, based on the most current release of TinyMCE, optimized for email HTML compatibility.
  • We also offer Plain Text and Raw HTML options.
  • We are the only company that offers AutoSave (even with the WYSIWYG editor).
  • Our Unique AutoSave automatically makes a copy of the current draft to protect user work from crashes or failure in a user's Internet connection.
  • Our WYSIWYG editor works within a Wizard-style form for most templates. Articles with no title are omitted and the layout automatically adjusts.
  • We have also always offered an "Advanced/Custom HTML" template with full-screen WYSIWYG editor that supports HTML editing, pasting, or importing from a file.
  • We also are the only company that offers AUTOMATIC cleaning of "Paste from Word" content from ANY pasted content.
  • This is a big issue because pasting from Microsoft products (Word, Outlook, etc.) can cause proprietary code to be inserted into the HTML code of the newsletter, particularly in Mozilla/Firefox-based browsers.
  • This proprietary code causing email content to disappear in multiple version of Microsft Outlook.
  • This code can be copied from a Microsoft program to another program or website editor and then accidentally copied into a newsletter.
  • In our experience, users do not consistently using a Paste from Word button to clean up content copied from external programs like Word and Outlook. This would cause emails sent to Outlook users to be truncated after the pasted content. Of the WYSIWYG editors, only the latest version of TinyMCE supports AUTOMATIC "Paste from Word" cleaning of all pasted content so that the user does not even need to worry about this issue. We are the first and only provider using this version.
  • StreamSend, for example, uses a version of TinyMCE that is two years out of date.
  • VerticalResponse uses an older version of TinyMCE which requires manual user action to clean up content pasted from external sources.
  • iContact uses a commercial blog editor plug-in called "WYSIWYG Pro" which does not offer, and does not plan to offer, an automatic Paste from Word cleanup feature.
  • Constant Contact maintains its own in-house editor which requires manual user action to clean up content pasted from external sources.

Email preview

  • We provide previews on screen and via email.
  • We allow Preview to be toggled between Data and No Data modes (with or without mail-merged subscriber data fields so you can compare display if subscriber data is available versus missing).
  • Because we include Publish-to-Web as a standard feature (other services like Constant Contact charge more for this) and allow conditional "read more" content or different content on the web-based version, we also include the option to toggle the Preview between Email and View as Webpage modes.

Autoresponder for initial email

  • We provide a Welcome Newsletter feature, which is an auto-responder initial email sent upon subscription confirmation.
  • We also provide unlimited Auto-Responders.
  • We also provide unlimited Auto-Series for sending automatic series of up to 50 emails prescheduled to be sent at regular intervals from the signup date. This can be used to send out an initial email on topics of subscriber interest with daily, weekly, or other regular follow-up emails. This feature is also useful for whitepaper series, educational series, and preset tips and tricks email series.

Imports contacts from CSV, TXT, manual entry, cut & paste

  • Yes, absolutely. We also offer assistance uploading a CSV file if the user has any trouble formatting and importing subscriber information.

Unlimited image hosting (MyNewsletterBuilder) vs. 5 images (Constant Contact)

  • Unlike our competitors, we offer UNLIMITED hosting.
  • Each of our email templates have a direct file uploader for each newsletter article, allowing users to upload at least one image for every article plus banner images.

Automatically remove those who have selected "unsubscribe" from your mailing list

  • Yes, absolutely. We also offer users who click the unsubscribe access to preferences to pick their own interest categories.

Reports which display statistics on Sent, Bounces, Spam Reports, Opt-outs, Opens, Clicks & Forwards

  • We also offer reports on Subscribes (Opt-ins) from Forwarded, Published or otherwise shared emails.
