For 2006, Respond4Me gains a refreshing new interface.  We started with a clean slate, and designed the new Respond4Me to be the most efficient and complete email marketing tool on the Internet.


Your prospects are now referred to as subscribers.  As a complete e-mail marketing system, Respond4Me ensures you can stay in touch with subscribers before and after they have become your customers.


Now in addition to effortlessly following up with your subscribers, you can send unlimited broadcast messages as often as you like, for no extra charge!




Unlimited marketing campaigns can be housed within your ONE Respond4Me account.


Each campaign can...


  1. Capture and store its own subscriber lists.
  2. Maintain its own series of autoresponder messages.
  3. Send and store its own broadcast messages.
  4. Have its own settings including sender identity and domain name.
  5. Gather statistics including sales, deliverability and click tracking.

Think of each campaign as a container to keep all related marketing messages and their respective subscribers in one place.

 THE NEW MESSAGE EDITOR




The new and improved message editor for Respond4Me works hand-in-hand with the autoresponder and broadcast wizards. Messages can be created in Plain Text or HTML, but now you have the option to send in BOTH formats simultaneously!

 NEW PRICING STRUCTURE

Respond4Me's new pricing model makes it very affordable to manage both small and large lists, and in addition to unlimited marketing campaigns and follow-up messages, now you will be able to send unlimited broadcast messages too!  Take advantage of this benefit to send out your newsletters, product announcements, offers, email postcards as often as you like, no matter how big your mailing lists are.


To let you receive more for less, effective March 1, 2006, the service fee will depend on the total number of your subscribers, i.e. all your campaigns, newsletters, lists, etc. *at their peak* in the billing month.


For your convenience, we have provided a simple 'email marketing calculator', which will let you determine your most cost-effective and efficient monthly service cost!

Determine your own price by using the Email Marketing Calculator:

The number of subscribers on your campaign.:
The number of messages sent out monthly:
The monthly cost of 1 mailing:
Total account charge:


The first 10,000 subscribers will be included within the current price, $17.95 per month. For every additional 5,000 subscribers, you would pay an extra $4.50 per month, in arrears, after 30 days.

Your plan will adjust automatically as your lists grow.


EXAMPLE
If you open a new Respond4Me account on March 1, and sign up for the monthly plan at $17.95, yet in a few days build up your list to 16,000 subscribers (congratulations!), then, in 30 days from March 1, you will be charged a total of $26.95, which will include:
$17.95 paid in advance for the service in April, and 2 * $4.50 ($9.00) in arrears, for the expanded mailing list in March.


Due to the dynamic sizes of mailing lists, the ongoing $4.50 per 5,000 subscriber charges cannot be pre-paid.

Therefore, in the case of all Respond4Me prepaid customers (i.e. 3, 6, 12-months paid in advance), the expanded mailing list usage fee will be assessed *monthly*, per the logic above.
