There are two types of subscriptions available - Monthly Plans and Credits. With a monthly plan, your credit card is billed in advance based on the number of unique usable contacts in your account. With a credits subscription, you can purchase a block of credits that can be used at any time.

Back to top

A monthly plan is ideal for those who email their contacts on a monthly or weekly basis. You can send to your contacts as many times as you would like to within the month. Select a monthly plan based on the number of unique email addresses in your database. A credits subscription is ideal for those who email their contacts less frequently. Since credits do not expire, you can select any level and use them as you need them. Click here to view subscription pricing.

Back to top

The number of contacts is the total number of unique usable contacts in your account. Usable contacts are those who have not opted out or been classified as bounced. Each email address is only counted once, regardless of how many groups it may be stored in. You can send to your contacts an unlimited number of times within any given month.

All payments for EmailCampaigns are in USD and are processed through Stripe to ensure the security of your credit card information.

If you select a monthly plan, you will be automatically billed each month on the same day as your original purchase (or the closest day to it for cases such as the 31st).

Because Stripe processes the payments, we do not directly access or store your credit card details, which is in the interest of your privacy and safety.

Back to top

Yes, EmailCampaigns is hosted in a secure environment using industry best practices to protect your data. Only a select few EmailCampaigns staff may access this data on a time limited basis for technical support purposes. The EmailCampaigns Privacy Policy provides additional details.

Back to top

Every campaign you send includes an unsubscribe URL at the bottom. This URL is specifically linked to an individual recipient for that campaign. When they click the unsubscribe link, they are taken to a page where they are asked to confirm their selection. Upon confirmation, they are automatically opted out of your account. An "Opt Out" label will display next to their name.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If a recipient replies to your campaign and asks you to remove them from your list, you must manually opt them out by searching for their contact details in your account and clicking the Opt Out button.

Back to top

Ask the contact to send you an email requesting to be opted back into your account. Forward that email to support@emailcampaigns.com, and we will opt them back in for you.

Back to top

The system will recognize that those contacts have previously opted out of your account, and it will mark them as such. You will not be able to send campaigns to those contacts.

Back to top

The system will automatically track if email addresses bounce back as either a hard bounce or a soft bounce. If it is a soft bounce, the system will try to send to the email address again. If it is a hard bounce, the contact will be marked as undeliverable.

You can setup a trial account to view our nearly 200 templates in categories that span business, holidays, greetings and more. You can also use our template-builder to create templates of your own using your own HTML code or website.

Back to top

Yes! Click on Manage Templates to access the template builder wizard. Input your HTML code or a URL, and the wizard will transform it into a usable EmailCampaigns template that will be accessible under the My Templates tab when you are creating campaigns.

Back to top

You can use our template builder to upload your own template designs if you have them in HTML format. Otherwise if you need assistance designing a template from scratch or getting an existing design of yours it into HTML format, we would recommend contacting a third party firm such as DigitalGlare or PSD2HTML for assistance. Such firms can often assist with uploading the new template into your EmailCampaigns account on your behalf if you'd like.

Back to top

You can quickly and easily upload images and files to our Content Library and then use that content across all of your campaigns. There are no limits for the number or amount of files you can upload. However since not all recipients will have fast connections to the Internet, we recommend keeping the total amount of audio, video, and document files uploaded to your campaign under 1MB. You can also select multiple images and files to upload at once to save time, and you can use our built-in image editor to crop and resize your images.

Back to top

You can use any field that stores your contacts' data - such as First Name, Last Name, etc. - as a basis for personalization in your campaign content. You can also create custom fields to store specific data that can also be �mail merged� into your campaign.

Back to top

Most email programs will not display animated GIFs or Flash files due to security concerns. Some will not display an image at all, and some will only display the first frame. We recommend including a static image in your campaign and linking it to a URL that holds the video/animation.

Back to top

The EmailCampaigns system is setup to be compliant with all required CAN-SPAM regulations. Most spam blockers are based on words in the sender's name, subject or email content that refer to money, special offers or opportunities. The usage of text such as Limited Offer, Opportunity To Invest or As Little As $2,000 will get the attention of most email filters, as will the unnecessary use of capitals or symbols (e.g. !!!, Save $$$). You can run a pre-flight report before sending to check to see how your campaign would rate in common spam filters.
