Best way to mass-mail a dynamic segmented 7500-email list?

Asked by rexpresso (922points) September 2nd, 2010

I have a customer that wants a way to mass-email his list of contacts.

He has that list in Excel and has
– three languages
– 15 sub groups per language (main, VIP, etc)

From all I have been researching, I couldn’t find any hosted solution that could accomodate this easily. Although I have learnt about the “segments” solution many provide, the problem is that these segments are not dynamic.

So, if I add new stuff to the main list, I will have to recreate each and every segment (except if I keep track of what is added and skip recreation of the unnecessary segments, but even that is too cumbersome and time-wasting).

I would really like to use a hosted solution like e.g. VerticalResponse or GetResponse but they would have to accomodate this need (it’s really impractical to setup a system that would need so much manual work for 45 segments!)

If nobody knows of a way to do this with a hosted solution, then what do you suggest I use for a Windows setup? In this situation, my ideal scenario would be a software that could connect to an Excel file (without needing to import it), and select the conditions for the segmentation in realtime (e.g. Language=English AND Group=VIP)

Thanks for everything.

P.S.: where else on the web would you post this question if you were me?

P.P.S.: I tagged this question with “spam” as I though the keyword could attract some interesting attention, but all these contacts have been added with permission.

Have you looked into InfusionSoft? That’s what our company uses, and you have a lot of flexibility in terms of who you send mail to.
