Dear Friend,

I wanted to share with you our recent experience with choosing a new marketing automation/ email marketing solution at CompareBusinessProducts.
A major priority for me right now is to focus on boosting the level of engagement with our readers by launching a new series of very custom email marketing campaigns. I have come to realize that our home-grown marketing automation software was designed without the flexibility in mind for building the types of campaigns we need to run.

But unfortunately, I quickly found myself lost in the plethora of options that started to all blend together and look the same.
It took me over a month to research, compare, and ultimately choose the right solution. So I’ve selected some of the most useful resources I came across which would’ve got us there in half the time – hoping they will be useful to you.
