Stock market software?
I dont know much about the stock market but I was giving a paper in computers and my topic was software in the stock market, any ideas? It was vague but it is something about the software thats used in order to control the stock market or something like that..
Jere answers:
The software I think you are referring to is a trading platform which is what the brokers use on their sites to buy and sell stock orders. It’s mainly Internet software that deals with Data Communication, which is software like email clients. You can have your own email client that connects to your IP server or you can log on your account. In the end both have to use technology to send the data and securely as using a credit card to make purchases online. Then you have packets being sent and encrypted and un encrypted. Lots of it has to do with Java software which is also used in cell phones etc…
Communication software is used to provide remote access to systems and exchange files and messages in text, audio and/or video formats between different computers or user IDs. This includes terminal emulators, file transfer programs, chat and instant messaging programs, as well as similar functionality integrated within MUDs.

(Email Marketing Help) How to personalizing mass emails?
Hello,
Does anyone know how do you personalize mass emails? As in send an email to 10 and be able to include their names ” Dear so and so”. Say you send an email to person A and person B. You send one single email to both at the same time and each sees only his/her name at the beginning of the text. Person A, get “Dear A” and person B, gets ” Dear B”. I am sorry, this is the best way I could explain what I mean. When I talk to people about personalizing emails they assume that I just want the person not to see all other recipients of the email or that I want the email section to include full names.

Yes, if u are using Email Marketing Services/Software they have those active, you need not to do any thing just follow what they are saying. I have seen people r using
Dear #FirstName# #LastName#
Dear %FNAME%
“Dear %FNAME%,
Your surname is %LNAME%, and I am sending you this to your email address %EMAIL%, I hope that’s OK?”

which is the best software for email marketing?
Jere answers:
There are plenty of good one; depends how you want to go:
– your own servers, DNS etc, which means you buy or install one of the commercial or open source packages out there. I don’t know much about this area. The risk is, if you get spam reports, your domain / ip will be blocked in a heartbeat and you’ll have a really hard time getting unblocked.
– hosted servers where you load up your own software – again I don’t know the software side but the risk is somebody else in that same hosting center getting a spam complaint, and you get blocked because you’re in the same ip range etc.
– a hosted / subscription email service, which is the way I went – the risk of somebody else getting you spamblocked is still there, but the upside is the service has a pro staff to chase that issue down and get unblocked. I use www.1shoppingcart.com, and there are other good ones such as Constant Contact, Sitesell, and I’m sure plenty more.
Good luck,
Scott

Email Marketing. Which is best? to buy software and install or use third party company?
Hello People
I just started small online business. One way of getting in touch and offer the service to my customers/ subscribers is to send them emails each week. I would like to know which is the best way for cost effective in email marketing. Is it best to buy email marketing software and install on my system or use the third party company where I would have to pay monthly.
What I see is that email marketing software range from £200+ and third party companies range from £10 for about 500 email/month.
Yet I don’t see any reason to pay monthly to get limited email sending why not buy software install and send as many as I want with no rising monthly cost.
Does anyone knows the down side of buying email marketing software compared to use third part companies.
Regards

It seems that with your own software, you can save more money and you control the whole email marketing process
The problems with a software vis a vis a third party system are:
– your ISP may limit the number of emails you send per hour. To prevent spamming, most ISPs have limits in the number of emails you can send (typically 100 per hour) unless you have a business account. If you’ve got 80,000 emails to send and you have a limit of 100 per hour, it will take you 800 hours to send 1 email. Not worth it
– your account can be put in the blacklist. If there are spam complaints against you, it will be YOUR IP address that will be banned. That means you will have a tough time sending your regular emails if you are put in a blacklist. With third party softwares such as ConstantContact.com, it is their IP address that shows.
If you’ve got only 100-1000 names, having your own software is ok. But if you’ve got more subscribers, it makes more sense to go with a third party email marketing solution
