Does your Email Service Provider (ESP) have supporting documentation for every feature of their email list program, or do they just offer a few notes on a website?<\/p>

Dundee ListManager offers an extensive online user manual<\/a> that covers numerous list subjects. From API guides to Web Forms creation (Profile Forms, Surveys, Referral Forms. . .) and everything in between.\u00a0 Since ListManager\u2019s inception, it allowed the user to do everything needed to create, send and track a complete email marketing campaign. In fact, our customers were using transactional emails (for example) before transactional emails, became a marketing buzzword.<\/p>

ESP Service Features<\/h2>

As more ESP\u2019s came in to being, our competition started to find more creative ways to use, report and send out an email. \u00a0As these \u201cnew\u201d features became hot topics, most customers started to expect them.\u00a0 ESPs that didn\u2019t offer these said features, had to develop them or partner with a company that offered them. Features like Shopping Cart Abandonment and Purchase Tags to track buying habits soon became very popular. These features have been part of Dundee ListManager for years.<\/p>

Some of our list competitors unable to program these features,\u00a0partnered with companies that could. Now, with third-party integration, ESPs can offer everything under the marketing sun.\u00a0 However, most integration performance relies on all parts working correctly.\u00a0 If an ESP doesn\u2019t have A\/B testing built in their program, they hook up with a company that does. Sometimes these features come at an additional cost.<\/p>

Dundee\u2019s ListManager Features<\/h2>

In the case of Dundee ListManager, the A\/B test feature has been part of the software for a number of years. Using the A\/B wizard a user can perform as many tests as necessary to see the effect a changed variable has in each mailing.\u00a0 And there is no additional cost to do so.<\/p>

List Manager can integrate with other programs utilizing ListManager\u2019s API.\u00a0 In all cases, an integration with ListManager is not done to give the user additional features but done for the convenience of the user and the third party offering.\u00a0 (ListManager to WordPress.)\u00a0 In these instances, the users are only limited by their programmer.<\/p>

And then there are the corporate \u201cspecialists\u201d who write blogs and offer charts and surveys to help the email marketer decide which ESP they should be using.\u00a0 Several of these bloggers created categories for Email Service Providers, mistakenly assuming the size of the company dictates the size of the customer (list) they can successfully handle.<\/p>

For example, we are a small Corporation and comfortably handle single list sizes of 15 Million members or more.\u00a0 (As many of our list owners can tell you.)\u00a0 So size, company size, doesn\u2019t matter with us.<\/p>
