The creation and sending of newsletters to many recipients was and is no problem, but this emails have a big disadvantage: They are impersonally and can't be customized with special data of the recipient. SuperMailer changes this!
In this email marketing software you can create your serial mails like in a word processor. The software enables you to create emails as HTML or plaintext. The HTML part can be created in a integrated WYSIWYG editor. Insert placeholders into your message to let SuperMailer replace this with recipient specific data while email sending process. You can also send attachments and personalized attachments.
With tracking function (opening statistic, counting clicks on hyperlinks in you email), you can measure the success of you mailing campaign.
With scripts (PHP, Perl, ASP) free of charge you can automate the management of your newsletter subscriptions / unsubscribtions. The script supports the recommend double opt in procedure.
