When Paying Per Email Subscriber gets Out of Control

Unlimited subscribers. No per-subscriber fees. No arbitrary message-size limits. Just reliable email list hosting at a price that makes sense.

Growth is a good thing, especially when it’s happening to your email marketing list.  More subscribers, the more potential for sales.

In fact, it’s exciting.

But excitement and list growth don’t always translate into immediate revenue.  You may get sales, but like anything else it may take time – and more money. Especially if every new email address added increases your monthly marketing cost. because your email provider charges you a per user rate.

Some email providers believe growing your mailing list should be something to celebrate, not something that costs you more every month. That’s why we offer a different approach to email list hosting: no subscriber limits, no per-subscriber pricing, flexible message sizes, and real USA based technical support from experienced professionals.

The Hidden Cost of Per-Subscriber Pricing

Many popular email marketing platforms, including Mailchimp and Constant Contact, and others, offer plans based on the number of contacts you maintain.  At first, this may seem reasonable. You start with a small list and an affordable monthly payment. But what happens when your organization grows from 500 subscribers to 5,000? Or 50,000?

With subscriber-based pricing, your monthly costs can increase considerably– even if you don’t send any additional newsletters – OR have any sales.

Some organizations respond by deleting inactive subscribers to remain in a lower pricing tier. Others limit how many people can join or avoid creating additional lists. All decisions that can interfere with long-term marketing goals.

Your mailing list is an asset. You shouldn’t have to shrink it to make it affordable.

With MailingListServices.com, you can maintain your subscriber database without worrying about crossing another subscriber-based pricing threshold. Whether your list contains hundreds or thousands of members, we don’t charge you simply for adding another name.

What About Pay-Per-Email Pricing?

 

Volume-based pricing can be attractive, especially for organizations that communicate infrequently. However, it also introduces another issue: every additional mailing can increase your costs.

And sometimes email communication isn’t always predictable.

For example, your company normally sends two newsletters each month but suddenly needs to make several important announcements.  In a volume-based pricing model, increased activity means higher charges.

At MailingListServices.com, we believe your hosting plan should support your communication needs rather than dictate them. Our pricing doesn’t increase based on your subscriber count, and we help customers choose appropriate plans for their mailing activity.

Don’t Let Message-Size Restrictions Limit Your Communication

 

Pricing isn’t the only restriction worth examining. Some providers place specific size limits on submitted content. For example, one service documents a 256 KB maximum for Campaign content and a 5 MB total attachment limit

MailingListServices.com does not impose an arbitrary maximum message size on its hosted mailing lists. That can be especially valuable for organizations whose members regularly exchange reports, research documents, meeting materials, presentations, and other attachments.

We believe your organization’s email communications should reflect your identity, not just that of your hosting provider.

 

That’s why MailingListServices.com allows customers to use their own domain or ours. Maintaining a recognizable email identity helps members identify legitimate communications and reinforces their connection to their organization.

And we understand that email delivery has become more complicated.

Major mailbox providers have reinforced their authentication requirements, making technologies such as SPF, DKIM, and DMARC increasingly important.

Our experienced technical team understands the challenges of managing mailing lists, email authentication, and delivery problems. We can help organizations navigate these requirements rather than leaving them to figure everything out alone.

Real People. Real Support.

One of the most important differences between email hosting providers isn’t found in a feature comparison chart. It’s what happens when you need help. When a message is rejected, a list isn’t behaving as expected, or an administrator needs assistance with configuration, access to knowledgeable technical support matters.

MailingListServices.com hosted with Dundee Internet Services, an independently operated internet services company founded in 1997.

We’ve been working with internet technology and email services for decades, and we understand that our customers depend on their mailing lists for important communications.

We’re not interested in treating customers like account numbers. We believe good service means knowledgeable people who understand the technology and take customer concerns seriously.

A Better Way to Stay Connected

When comparing email hosting services, it’s worth looking beyond the introductory monthly price.

Ask yourself:

• Will my bill increase every time my subscriber list grows?
• Are there restrictions on the size of messages I can send?
• Can I use my organization’s own domain?
• Does the service support real two-way email discussions?
• What happens when I need technical assistance?
• Will the service still meet my needs as my organization grows?

At MailingListServices.com, our goal is to make dependable email communication affordable, flexible, and manageable.

• Our advantages are simple:
• Unlimited subscribers with no per-subscriber charges
• No service-imposed maximum mailing-list message size
• Support for discussion lists, newsletters, and announcements
• Use your own domain or ours
• Knowledgeable, experienced technical support
• Hosting plans starting at just $10 per month

Your organization should be focused on communicating with its members, customers, and supporters—not constantly calculating what the next email or additional subscriber might cost.

Your community deserves room to grow. Your email hosting should give it that room.
