Each of these listed autoresponders have certain advantages and disadvantages when compared to the others. However, based on total services provided for the monthly fee of $29.97, The Instant Sales System (ISS) is the BEST BUY in my opinion. I have utilized each of these systems so my opinion is not just based on the company's sales pitch. With the ISS if you refer 3 paying customers to them then they waive your monthly fee for as long as you have 3 referred active customers.
They provide, in addition to the contact management, capture forms and tracking reports of the other systems, free website hosting. As long as you register your URL with their service ($10.97 a year) you can have an unlimited number of websites hosted for no additional charge. Also, unlike the other systems as the number of contacts and/or emails increase over a period of time, the ISS fee does not increase. They offer unlimited contacts and emails for the monthly fee of $29.97. They provide numerous templates for HTML emails, video messages, and have many pre-written campaigns for the autoresponder. They provide a free 7 day trial which allows you time to play with the system and try all of it's features prior to buying it. For additional information go to the Instant Sales System. |
