email marketing platform
May/090
Free, open source software is available that is suitable for email marketing. It is important to be aware of the limits of free software to email marketing. Most open source alternative to commercial email packages do not have the same speed and features, but can be used in newsletter base and once the marketing offers.
The biggest gun in the open source e-mail marketing is OpenEMM Pantheon. This is the free version Open Trade Agnita source marketing email platform. Provides a complete set of CRM tools and roster management, event-driven capabilities e-mail, click tracking, open tracking, division and group testing, processing rebound and full featured editor. This gives all e-mail marketing features you expect from a commercial package that cost thousands of dollars for free.
If fully implemented, all the functions have a cost. Administration and installation of a system is not OpenEMM for occasional users. It requires a solid understanding SMTP, and the ability to install and manage and full functionality of Windows or Linux with the Java platform available. This prevents Most shared hosting, and can even be difficult with a server. managed dedicated
A reasonable alternative management powerful or shared accommodation is phplist. This package should work on another venerable WIMP or setting fire WAMP server, including most shared hosting. In fact, many shared hosting providers have been included in Fantastico PHPList installers or other applications. In this case, PHPlist can be a plug and play solution for marketing campaigns offer a long list.
The drawbacks? Bounce handling is not sophisticated, but based Parsing message, which is not as reliable as VERP bounce processing. Also, click Open and follow not the heart's ability PHPList. Click and open tracking, will allow you to enable "experimental" features and possibly apply source code patches. List segmentation and split testing is difficult, if not impossible, and it is not native to PHPList's roles. If you have another mechanism to track clicks, and can live without opening is followed PHPList a solid, free solution.
POMME is a similar package, also available through the installation of the control panel with many hosting providers shared. POMME is easier to use, simple interface and well designed. It was designed mainly for sending newsletters, no no integration of surveillance of any kind. Management capabilities of the list are minimal. It can be a scalability problem. PHPList boasts of its ability to hundreds of thousands of subscribers. POMME is suitable for small lists.
Finally, if you have a Wordpress blog, the simplest and most could be a powerful plug-in here. Mailpress has a incredible array of features, and as a plugin for Wordpress can be used in combination with a Wordpress blog. Of course, as a plugin, that offers a look that Wordpress users will feel comfortable, and tight integration with Wordpress is possible, and automatically send e-mail.
There has cavaets take Mailpress. Although Mailpress has a sophisticated feature set is still a plugin, and has to work within WordPress. This support plugins may or ramifications of performance that are difficult to predict. Tight integration with Wordpress can also be a disadvantage; pomme PHPList are of a general and bulk mailers effect, with the flexibility of a standalone application. Mailpress is obviously joined at the hip and is consistent with Wordpress Wordpress concepts and metaphors, making it potentially more difficult to manage.
If the distribution of open source software meets your needs there is no reason to spend thousands of dollars on a platform for commercial distribution or incurring a monthly e-mail service. On the other hand, if you need the advanced features of CRM, the lists of large and sophisticated monitoring of email applications open source will prove insufficient.
