ESP Platform Selection
While it may be tempting to simply select a well-known brand, most email marketing vendors do not offer a “one-size-fits-all” solution.
The right choice for you will likely depend on the size of your business, your industry, and your unique goals. For example, the ideal vendor for a small local restaurant will likely have different features than one preferred by a large software corporation. Ensuring the long-term success of your campaigns will require research into the pros and cons of different email marketing vendors.
As you consider the options available, you might ask questions such as the following:
- Does the vendor focus on businesses in a particular industry?
- What size businesses do they typically serve?
- Do they offer all the features that you would like in your email campaigns?
- What is the vendor’s reputation among current and past clients?
- What are the vendor’s price ranges?
