Is Email Marketing Still Important?

 

Yes!

If you are driving consistent traffic to your website you should absolutely be developing an email list and sending weekly newsletters, updates, blogs or anything to your viewers. 

​

Those who opt in to your newsletter are clearly interested in your blog, product or service and will be an engaged audience member who you should remain in constant contact with. Some benefits of using an email marketing software are

​

- contact with engaged customers

- increase in revenue

- cheap/free traffic

- repeat customers

- automated emails

- super easy to use

​

With that being said, let's take a look at GetResponse and AWeber and find out which one fits you best!

The downside of AWeber is that it only has 2 plans. The Pro plan is billed annually at $16.15/month, which essentially means you pay $193.80 once a year for the plan. For the features you get that is not a bad deal. 

​

AWeber offers a free plan but, your features are limited. 

​

First, you are limited to only 500 email subscribers, which is not not a whole lot for a growing businesses. You are also limited to 3,000 emails a month. This sounds like a lot but, if you are sending thank you emails, purchase confirmations, abandoned cart emails and newsletter emails this will add up FAST.

​

Here is a list of features you will NOT get with the free plan:

  • Email split testing

  • Behavioral automation

  • Branded click-tracking links

  • Remove AWeber branding

  • Custom URLs

  • Coming soon

  • Remove AWeber branding

  • Sign up form split testing

  • Save and send to custom segments

  • Advanced message analytics

  • Advanced audience/account analytics

  • Webpage tracking

  • Sales tracking

  • Cart abandonment / Purchase tagging

  • Collect subscribers with push notifications

  • Send messages with web push notifications

  • Analytics for web push notifications

​

As you can see, there are some seriously important features excluded from the free plan. Plus, you have to have the AWeber branding on all of your emails and landing pages, which will look rather unprofessional. 

​

Features Worth Noting

Aweber offers 24/7 customer support AND live chat. This is a step up from GetResponse who does not offer the live chat. This is something to consider when choosing who is right for you. 

​

​

If you decide to go with AWeber and take your email marketing seriously, we encourage you to go with the Pro Plan.
