Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

SendBlaster reviews

I can't find any better substitute in the mean time, the software offers a set of very good functionalities and fast performance in sending emails without any crashes. Small optimizations can take place especially for the Compose section and the TrackReports.

We have a number of time constraint email campaigns and must run every week to an existing list of students. This is been easy to Import and Export data through our external CRM to maintain some consistency.

- Scott O. EVP

We send out all our meeting and other notices to our members via sendBlaster. Once set up correctly it just works. That said, to get it set up correctly involved a tedious correspondence.

Direct Mail reviews

This is a core part of my communication toolkit. While I still use other mailing list platforms for specific purposes, this solves very specific bulk mailing needs.

- Ian G. Producer

It's absolutely helped us to expand our reach. Recipients often comment on how beautiful our emails are. Very satisfying to use and to receive such feedback.

- Magda B. Executive Director

I was looking for a low-cost mail program that was very easy to learn and get up and running. The major issue was getting a zap to work, but once that was working, I was very happy with the result. Likewise, zaps for onsite forms. But the learning curve for actually USING it, and sending emails. Cost per email is very very low - I buy 10K at a time for $99 so one cent each. Pretty good pricing! Delivery is almost instantaneous, and it is fun to watch the responses roll in.

Pros & cons

SendBlaster

Pros
The ability to send mass emails cheaper than any other service directly from your own server
I've been doing email marketing since around the time that email has existed and this product provides a great solution for small quantity 50,000 emails per month
Great for managing contact database, clean concise form
Overall SendBlaster was a good email marketing tool
It allowed for pictures, links, HTML, etc to be inserted into the emails."

Cons
Horrible for not discussing the issue
Very unprofessional for leaving me hanging
On multiple occasions, i have lost my entire mailer builds
If you do not hit "save draft" repeatedly expect to lose your work over and over
Just clicking view HTML somehow damages your linked codes and replaces the standard HTML with some sort of encrypted script data
Some buttons will damage your entire project
For example, using a prebuilt template, then clicking "HTML" to view the code (to remove or add items) breaks your current draft."

Direct Mail

Pros
Excellent, this is so much easier to use than Mail Chimp
I love the fact I can work on campaigns locally on my computer without being online and not in a browser
The lists and address management is simple yet agile
Great program for managing email lists for mac users
It's the perfect scale and I love the ease of understanding the reporting, which becomes of direct benefit for following up and moving between lists."

Cons
You get what you pay for
With their one time payment option you don't get much customer service and you'll need to maintain your own servers
Then thats where you find out the support is AWFUL, as it seems to me theres only 2 people that work there, they refuse to talk on phone, and despite promises when chased up, they don't answer emails
Reporting is limited, there aren't enough ways to compare and contrast
Very hard to export reports and data in bulk
Editing of template could be a bit more flexible
Difficult to understand layout schema."
