Re: icontactI have NO problem with either of them. As a matter of fact, Joy is WONDERFUL! It is SO professional & comes on time month after month....HTH
 
Re: icontactI love IContact and use TT with it! It's the best way to send out a newsletter.
 
Re: icontactSign up for the 15 day trial to see how it works for you. I love being able to see who clicked on my newsletter (although it's not perfect). The bad is... well, the only thing I can think of is that it's not free ;)
 
Re: icontactMy advice is don't "upgrade" if you have too many contacts. Weed them out!! I had over 2000 contacts. Only about 300 get and open my newsletter (this is not unusual). But I am paying for all of those contacts. Not happy about that.

I do love seeing who opens the letter and who is clicking onto your website.
