		<description>[...] For the ultimate in ease of use, try MadMimi.com, I recommend them to my clients who are just starting out, with zero contacts on the list. MadMimi has the most easy-to-use interface of all the ESPs I&#8217;ve tried over the years. Their customer service is the best I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of dealing with, plus they keep adding features on a regular basis. MadMimi&#8217;s free account is a fully-featured one, but is limited to 100 contacts, and you can send as many messages as you want.

		<description>David,

It is true that Aweber's users enjoy industry-leading delivery rates. However, I'd argue that if you, as the publisher, use email marketing best practices, that your own delivery rates will be just fine regardless of which ESP you use.

ESP's only business is delivery of email. I'm sure they all strive to have a good working relationship with all ISPs.

I'll share my experience with Aweber: one of my clients was using them and their confirmation rate was only 50% - meaning, of all the people who subscribed using the online form, only half actually became confirmed subscribers. This changed dramatically as soon as we started using a thank you page where we advised new subscribers that they should look for the confirmation email and that, possibly, that email could end up in their spam folder. Using this simple technique we managed to bring the confirmation rate up to 99%, effectively doubling the list.

For many users MadMimi's ease of use would be the deciding factor. Their exemplary customer service will make all the difference for some, I'm sure.

I hope this helps!</description>

		<description>Boris,

Thank you for sharing your experience. I saw your answer about constant contact vs aweber on linked in, and followed the answer to Mad Mimi (where I immediately signed up).

A question for you... In my research of the various options, one of the things people really like about Aweber (they say it stands out from others) is their delivery rate... people say Aweber does the best job at delivering newsletters through optimized relationships with various ISPs.

What is your opinion and experience on this point?

Thank you,

David

		<description>Thanks Boris. Our company could benefit from Mad Mimi. We're in the same boat. Looking for simple yet effective ways to send newsletters, etc. There's an interesting study regarding how people are treating blasts and their email in general. We just put up a &lt;a href="http://www.ideasthatbuildbusiness.com/blog/uncategorized/dont-be-afraid-of-e-mail/" rel="nofollow"&gt;little blog about it&lt;/a&gt;.</description>
