Better Than Mail Merge

Better Than Mail Merge

In the last two issues you've learned two ways to send your email newsletter to clients, and other subscribers. Each has a downside, so I started looking for a suitable program to email TIP as the number of its subscribers grew.
Tried out one called MailLoop, and didn't find it any better than the mail-merge function of Word, despite costing $379.
Then my son told me about a program called WorldCast, which offers a free version. Tried it. Liked it. Bought it ($49).
It works much like mail-merge in that you keep your mailing list in an Excel or Access file, and write your newsletter in any word processor (even Notepad) to save as a text file. Then you use WorldCast to combine your list with your text.
Advantages it has over Word's mail-merge are:
* It costs nothing to try out;
* It solves the problems of the previous two methods;
* It validates email addresses before sending them;
* It's fast;
* It detects bad email addresses while sending;
* It provides a detailed log of each mailing;
* It accepts huge mailing lists;
* It includes a spell-checker, helpful wizard, thesaurus;
* It lets you personalize your message and subject line;
* And it lets you include attachments.
Once your list becomes too unwieldy for Word's mail-merge, try out the free version of WorldCast.
