Are you considering sending an email newsletter to your clients to stay “top of mind”? If so, a great way to learn about email marketing campaigns and permisison marketing is to visit a few providers’ websites. I’m impressed with the information and guidance many offer in their articles and blogs.

How do you decide which provider is best for you? The answer is good-ol’-fashioned research to compare and contrast. Think about how you’ll use the service — and how often. Anduse their live-chat service to see if their agents are helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly and, of course, to get answers to your specific questions.

To get started, here’s a list of providers that many of my clients and colleagues use:

• Aweber
• CheetahMail
• ConstantContact
  
• iContact
  
• MailChimp
  
• MyNewsletterBuilder
