You’ll recall we posted last week (and tweeted our little hearts out) looking for the best “free forever” ESP plans. The idea was to give those providers who offer this service a chance to reach out directly to our community and let them know what they have to offer.

We’re very pleased to say that the original post got a lot of traffic and we had two great ESPs step forward to offer you something for just about nothing and that’s never a bad thing.

Takeaway: Here’s two companies offering a 100% free eMail marketing solution with no obligation. This takes the risk out of eMail marketing for those just starting out.

So in their own words here’s what they offer:

MailChimp

“MailChimp has a freemium plan that lets you send to 500 people up to 6 times a month (so 3,000 recipients per month). Same features and same customer support you get with paid accounts. Details were posted on our blog: http://www.mailchimp.com/blog/freemium-email-marketing-from-mailchimp/”
- Ben Chestnut of MailChimp

SpinnakerPro

“Spinnakerpro has 3 free forever offerings:

1. Free forever when you have less than 500 contacts
2. Free forever if you are a recognized Charity
3. Free forever 1000 sending credits which never expire for new accounts.

These details are on our homepage http://www.spinnakerpro.com”
- Dave Ewing of Spinnakerpro

Awesome people! We are building the biggest and best community for eMail marketing pros here at The eMail Guide and we can’t thank you enough for the support you are showing to eMail marketers everywhere!

Have we missed any other (as Ben so aptly put it) “freemium” services for eMail marketers? Post the info and the links here so we can get the word out for you!
