I regularly use MailChimp and HubSpot for outbound email as well, but for certain purposes Direct Mail is a real winner. It's really a good tool for designing nice looking email newsletters. The reporting is pretty good as well. There's a really elegant mixture of cloud-based services (the email sending and report viewing) and native application. > > **Cons**: I do wish it was a little easier to share control of campaigns and lists with another Mac users. ----- ### "Directmail for Marketing Books" — 5.0/5 > **Doug** | *23 August 2024* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fairly easy to compose messages. Adding attachments and pictures is fairly straight-forward (once you have the hang of it. Help people proved very helpful a few years back when I was trying to install my smtp Account. > > **Cons**: Organizing addresses can be cumbersome, copying from a previous list to a new one. I've never figured out how to produce smart lists, but I don't think that's Directmail's fault\! > > Positive. Allows me to do broadcasts to wide audience and get seen idea of how it is race red at recipients end. Only about 66% of my recipients actually do open the mail and I suspect that's because they're the message on cheri smartphones and delete without fully opening the email. ----- ### "DirectMail" — 5.0/5 > **Carlos** | *30 June 2022* | Industrial Automation | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Just a great option, friendly, powerful, campaign administration, links, great > > **Cons**: Nothing, just a great tool, simple and friendly ----- ### "Direct mail" — 5.0/5 > **Jacob** | *9 August 2024* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy interface to use compared to Gmail. > > **Cons**: The program is directly correlated to Mac machines. > > As a Mac user, I utilize direct mail for my every day work emails. ----- ### "I've never looked back\!" — 5.0/5 > **Ilan** | *6 July 2021* | Medical Devices | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Where to begin? • import from Google Sheets (because we use Google forms to add to our database) • personalised emails with reference to specific fields (with a fallback) • the reporting (especially the bounce report) • smart groups • templates > > **Cons**: Four features I would love to see developed: 1) The ability to include a table with rows and columns 2) The ability to embed HTML/iframe 3) Some widgets like a countdown timer. 4) I would like to feature all our previous newsletters on our website and short of creating a button to each web version, I would love to see an archive site that we could use. > > Without a doubt the best system I've used and I love that it's simple and smart at the same time. It's easy to use and I never feel overwhelmed. Other systems go too far and make the experience feel like you need to be an expert (even though they say it's "easy"). We currently have the smaller of the packages but look forward to expanding to the next level soon - thanks to Direct Mail. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/326004/direct-mail?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/326004/direct-mail) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
