Your Questions About Email Marketing Software

Mary asks…
What are the best customer data base programs to buy for sales & marketing with a focus on real estate?
I need a SW program for customers that I regularly email and mail marketing materials to. I’ve been using ACT and I’m hiring someone who is great in many ways but does not know anything about ACT & will have to be trained. If there is something better out there now, I want to get it and she can learn it and train me. Any suggestions?? Thanks.

Digital Office 5.0 Commercial Version
This software, designed for commercial real estate professionals, contains over 5,000 interactive PDF forms with over 1,943,075 interactive fields.
Tailor-made for: Builders, Property Managers, Commercial Brokers, Landlords, Investors, Remodelors, Business Brokers, Lease Agents, Transaction Attorneys, Developers, Agricultural Land Brokers, Industrial Brokers, and others!
It’s a little pricey (about $550) but it’s built for commercial brokers. There are cheaper ones out there, but they don’t have all the bells and whistles that comes in this package. And, no I don’t sell this stuff. 🙂

How to set out an email selling a product to high end places?
I want to sell artwork to mid to high end places. How do i set out the email?

Jere answers:
You will need a email marketing software to help you send out emails to your list of people/contact. Myself, I am using Mad Mimi and MailChimp (the crazy, creative people and their naming) to help me send out my email campaign. Pretty happy with them so far.
O. This require a bit of technical skills too. If you find a bit too time consuming, drop me a note. I think I can do a few campaigns for you. Added the links if you want more details.
Hope it helps.

Susan asks…
What software would you reccomend to run an email marketing campaign?
I have very limited HTML knowledge and would ideally like a very simple solution that will also be able to track & report responses.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Jere answers:
Without a doubt, you want to use PHPList – I’ve written all about it here:
http://www.3bweb.com/site-features/email-newsletters/
It’s FREE to own and use, for as many emails as you like – FAR better than any of the externally hosted solutions, which don’t send out from your domain, and charge per email!

Linda asks…
What is the best security software to buy?
I need a complete security software program that I can purchase. It must include Anti Malware, Anti Virus, Anti Spyware, Firewall, Virus Scan, etc. It must include everything.

Jere answers:
Norton,MSE(Microsoft security essentials) and MacAfee are the worst Anti Virus you can get, they are just marketing tools made by Microsoft, hence why they are always free with computers then expect you to pay a fortune to have them permanently, and then you need to download special tools to remove them completely. You will need the Norton/McAfee Removal Tool as well as removing it from programmes and features.
PC Techs like myself check every antivirus, new and old, looking for the best one to provide ourselves with and most importantly our clients. Norton/McAfee never finds the really harmful viruses
AVG, Malwarebytes are going downhill so I no longer recommend them unfortunately. Avast and Avira are absolute dire.
The best anti viruses you can get are Trend Micro or Kaspersky, both offer a free 1 month trial before you buy. Trend/Kaspersky is only ÂŁ34 a year, so very cheap.
They have there own Firewall, internet and email protection. Kaspersky also has a virtual keyboard that you can use to type in passwords and bank details so that key loggers can’t trace your information. You don’t get this with AVG, Avira, Avast etc
Every qualified PC tech like myself recommends these, and businesses we service also use them.
You can find them here: http://download.cnet.com/Trend-Micro-Internet-Security/3000-8022_4-10567655.html
http://download.cnet.com/Kaspersky-Internet-Security/3000-18510_4-10012072.html
These are only free for a month but are the BEST. The Housecall really proves it to be honest
If you only want a Free one, get Superantispyware (free edition) this is the best Free one you can get :http://www.superantispyware.com/download.html
Please do not go with what unqualified people are telling you when it comes to PC Security. I know people don’t agree with each other, but what I am giving is expert advice. I am not spamming, or giving false information. I do also use this same answer for ALL anti virus questions as its the truth,and easier than typing out the same answer over and over ( for those who like to click the report button etc)
You can also Google “Trend Titanium Full version +Keygen free” and download it, this is the best one out there. The Keygen gives you the code so you can activate it for a year and not a month
If anyone tells you to use Reginout , DONT. Reginout is a virus programme itself, alot of people on here dont realise that and tell people to download it.
