Service to schedule followup emails?

Posted by mikepotter on Wednesday May 11, 2011 @04:51PM
from the self-post dept.

My company offers customers a 14 day free trial of our online tool. I'd like to email them 5 days after registering, 10 days after registering and 14 days after registering.

Anyone know of an online service that would allow us to set this type of email up easily? How are other companies handling this problem?

Thanks,

Mike

The magic word you want is "autoresponder" Every mailing list service will let you do this. I use MailChimp. I'm happy with them.

How many users do you have? I use Sendgrid because their API is really easy and reliable, and I know they have scheduling capabilities. You could probably come up with a script to schedule the emails as soon as a user registers. MailChimp probably offers something similar with their API, but I haven't spent much time using it.
