johnnyboy16 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Hi everyone, I'm new to developing and was curious about Email marketing platforms such as Aweber or MailChimp. I understand the marketing benefits and the analytical data they can provide for say a newsletter or a new product launch... But, if for example, I have a social networking site. Would I want to use MailChimp to send User Signup confirmation Emalls / Password reset Emails / General contact emails...etc...? Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Thank you.

haku Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You may want to use a service like that to send your mails to all your members, but not your registration mails and stuff like that - it makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eagle Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Haku really covered all you should know. Use a large mailing service if say there's an update on your social networking service and you want everybody whose registered to know, in an mass email. (doing a mass email from your own webhosting account can violate ToS) Also, build the reset link and confirmation right into your script, it's just easier on your end.
