Email marketing solution has gone from stand-alone to being part of every CRM. It is even added as a feature inside many accounting software. Web developers almost never design a website without having a part for subscribers to our newsletter. Web hosting companies have default email marketing service providers installed inside. So we can say email marketing feature is something that is available almost in every solution which requires digital communication with their customers.

There are different types of solutions out there. Ninja media started in 2011 with a software-based email marketing solution that you need to install on your laptop. This method still has its advantage as the privacy of the data is fully taken care of because we store all information inside our workstation’s hard disk. These days everything is on the cloud, this means your data is not on your hard disk but on the hard disk of your service provider via cloud technology (meaning your data is still in a physical location and not in the actual thin air or ether). This makes it accessible from almost anywhere as long as you are connected to the majestic internet.

So before even looking for what are the solutions being offered in this vast world of digital email communication, it is wise to ask what is the business need. This will certainly land us at least 10 different solution providers with various solutions to meet the needs. However, if you are someone like our founder who is OBSESSED to know IT ALL about email marketing solutions then please attend our weekly webinar conducted by him.
