At work we need to send out one of those awful HTML newsletters by email and the publications department are asking me some questions about the best way of doing this.
They created the newsletter first in photoshop and then in pageplus (page plus is a product that I am not familiar with). Pageplus allows you to 'send as email...' which is fine internally.
In web mode it allows you export it as html which I have done and uploaded to our webspace for them. I have then used IE to browse to the webspace and selected 'send page via email' which works fine. But, some email clients struggle with it, for example I sent it to my gmail mail account and it is just a collection of .gif attachments.
Something else I thought about was that we wouldn't want our email address to be black listed by people classing this as spam. Therefore, I was thinking of using an external provider.
I had a look at
Email Marketing - Constant Contact
So, two things really:
Am I missing a much simpler way of doing this task. And two, can anyone recommend where I outsource this?
