Sorry, forgot to check the box to ensure I received updates to this post. I personally don’t mind you making the assumption and just check it automatically Damien.

That wouldn’t be such a bad price if their email/newsletters were actually formated properly, let alone viral. Furthermore, as a client, I have yet to receive a personal email – they’re always addressed as ‘Dear Client’. The most basic tools that can be used internally can get that right.

Having just spent the past few days doing battle with our annual emailshot, I think that €210K is a bargain!!

Cost = €0 for the list mgr software and maybe €200 p.a. for a VPS to run it on.

Time cost for moderating 10 msgs per day = 10 mins.

Nice profit margin there.

WHAT?!?!?! Man I have to get involved on these government deals.

I’m literally sitting here with my jaw on the floor.
