### About Direct Mail

Direct Mail is an email marketing solution for Mac that lets you create and send personalized emails to your list of subscribers. Designed for SMBs and large companies alike, Direct Mail includes customizable email templates, image editing, live previews, custom email sign-up forms, automatic and manual list segmentation, email tracking, campaign analytics, subscriber activity reporting, and more.

Customize with images, videos, buttons, surveys, and more. Drag and drop images directly into your email and edit image within the app (including cropping, removing backgrounds, and adding filters). Conditional logic allows you to tailor custom content for each recipient. “Spam Tests” alert you to any mistakes before you send, including broken links, misspelt email addresses, and spam filter issues.

Direct Mail allows you to target your messages to specific subscribers—either manually or automatically. Metrics include opens, clicks, unsubscribes, and bounces.

Positive. Allows me to do broadcasts to wide audience and get seen idea of how it is race red at recipients end. Only about 66% of my recipients actually do open the mail and I suspect that's because they're the message on cheri smartphones and delete without fully opening the email.

Fairly easy to compose messages. Adding attachments and pictures is fairly straight-forward (once you have the hang of it. Help people proved very helpful a few years back when I was trying to install my smtp Account.

Cons:

Organizing addresses can be cumbersome, copying from a previous list to a new one. I've never figured out how to produce smart lists, but I don't think that's Directmail's fault!

Reasons for choosing Direct Mail

Of course, Survey Monkey. But then SM bought Directmail for Mac. Mac based. Survey Monkey was not as obviously Mc compatible.

Without a doubt the best system I've used and I love that it's simple and smart at the same time. It's easy to use and I never feel overwhelmed. Other systems go too far and make the experience feel like you need to be an expert (even though they say it's "easy"). We currently have the smaller of the packages but look forward to expanding to the next level soon - thanks to Direct Mail.

Pros:

Where to begin? • import from Google Sheets (because we use Google forms to add to our database) • personalised emails with reference to specific fields (with a fallback) • the reporting (especially the bounce report) • smart groups • templates

Cons:

Four features I would love to see developed: 1) The ability to include a table with rows and columns 2) The ability to embed HTML/iframe 3) Some widgets like a countdown timer. 4) I would like to feature all our previous newsletters on our website and short of creating a button to each web version, I would love to see an archive site that we could use.

Direct Mail always hits the spot

5

One of my oldest clients is a company that offers PR monitoring software and for the last five years we have been sending out email campaigns every week (Tuesdays through Thursdays) and I know that they are getting customers signing up to their services as a result. We update their campaigns on a regular basis and with Direct Mail's excellent interface I can adapt and amend things very quickly. For all our email marketing clients Direct Mail allows me to schedule highly personalised campaigns for weeks ahead – a feature that is especially invaluable when we go away, ensuring that our clients' campaigns never miss a beat even when we're on the beach. Getting notifications on my iPhone, via their Stamps app, means that whenever I am out of the office I am always aware how our campaigns are performing and can provide instant updates if clients need information even when I am away from my Mac. Direct Mail is a real gem; the pricing policy is very fair and you can easilty up and downgrade your plans as needed. Their support is excellent, and I must shout out to \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\]; even though we're on different continents we're on the same page and I appreciate being able to have direct contact with support and not having to go raise support tickets. I very much look forward to continuing to send out compelling campaigns via Direct Mail in the months and years ahead.

Functionality

Pros:

Direct Mail is a powerful and comprehensive, but easy-to-use, email delivery platform that makes every email campaign a joy to design, develop and implement. It's intuitive interface allows you to design a campaign, create a distribution list and then monitor the results in realtime. The templates that are provided by Direct Mail are almost infinitely adaptable, but you can create your own formats or import templates. Either way, you have at your fingers tips a professional system that I would now not want to be without.

Cons:

There is very little, if anything, to dislike, but if there is one improvement they could make it would be to have the option to use the email sign-up forms as a contact form. At the moment, when creating automated sign-up forms, the only option is for users to 'subscribe', but if Direct Mail could incorporate the option to choose 'submit' and not 'subscribe' that instantly turn it into a powerful and highly editable contact form, which you can incorporate into any website.

Reasons for choosing Direct Mail

Constant Contact (CC) offers a suite of solutions, from email marketing to e-commerce, which was potentially of interest, but I found their email marketing system a constant irritation. Again, it's web-based (or was when I trialled it) and found the method of building campaigns a real pain; the lack of customisability was nowhere near as good as Direct Mail.

Reasons for switching to Direct Mail

Easy answer: Direct Mail knocks MailChimp out of the water every time. MC is web-based and requires you to log in to find your campaigns; then, you are faced with an overly-complex interface that is nowhere near as intuitive as Direct Mail. When I trialled Direct Mail I immediately closed my MC account. Since then, I have only used MC if clients are using it, but every time I push the merits of Direct Mail.

Pros:

Cost drew me to Direct Mail for Mac; I was sending out up to 50,000 weekly e-mails for a client at one point. It was by far the lowest-cost option for bulk e-mailing on that scale. But there were other things that made the experience so great. On the few times I had deliverability issues, I got one-on-one attention from the developers who talked me through the adjustments I needed to make on my DNS settings. They are very protective of their sender reputation, which increased my deliverability rates vs. other vendors without dedicated IPs.

Cons:

I'm using it a lot less these days because my workflow has changed and it isn't a good fit for what I am trying to accomplish at the moment. But if I were to return to mass sechduled e-mails, Direct Mail for Mac would still be my first choice.

Reasons for choosing Direct Mail

Cost, but stayed with it because of the customer service and excellent product.
