Constant Contact versus Aweber 

If you are in Sales & Marketing then no doubt you are emailing your customers and prospects on an ongoing basis. If you aren’t using a service that specializes in email marketing, then you are losing out on increased sales, your valuable time and ultimately money. If you are still sending emails via BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), get with the times my friend as you are not only NOT personalizing your emails, you are potentially opening yourself or your company up for spam complaints and potential legal issues. 

On to the task at hand comparing two of the world’s most premier online email marketing services, often referred to as auto responders. I have aimed to make this as impartial as possible, and ask that users of either services, or other competitive products, comment as to their thoughts and experiences. 

Here is a side by side comparison of features & costs: 

  Constant Contact Aweber

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks for the write up about AWeber. Unless CC has just released some new features, they definitely do not have any sort of autoresponder or sequential follow up functionality. AWeber was founded 10 years ago this month based exclusively on that feature. We do much more now, but it’s still the staple of automating communication with your website’s visitors.

    Any real-life use comparrisons? And, any idea how Vertical Response (http://www.verticalresponse.com) compares in all this? They are less expensive, $10/month entry level, but are they any good?
