Use Our Templates or Upload Your Own

With dozens of stunning templates to choose from, including industry-specific templates, you'll be able to create a message that aims to impress! Simply select the template you want to use and then fill in the blanks. Creating a campaign is just like using a word processor - what you see is what you get. If you'd prefer to create your own template or upload an existing HTML file, then that option is available too.

Manage Multiple Lists and Add Your Own Custom Fields

Easily manage your subscribers through our intuitive web interface. With our import utilities, you can easily add multiple subscribers in seconds. And if your data contains additional information that you want to import, such as the subscriber's name, city, etc., then you can map this information to your custom fields.

Protect the integrity of your subscribers by using your suppression list. If you add someone to your supression list, they will never receive another email from you, regardless of what mailing list you send to.

Taking the Headaches out of Campaign Management

PRESSfish manages all bouncebacks and unsubscription requests. Within the web interface, you'll find a link to "Insert an Unsubscribe Link". We'll automatically generate the web address needed if one of your subscribers wishes to remove themselves. Removal is instant, so there is no chance of receiving complaints of unsubscribe requests not being honored in a timely manner.

Bounced emails (both soft and hard) are processed and removed from your list for you automatically, meaning your list is always clean. You can also export a list of which email addresses bounced and see both soft and hard bounce details.

Built-in Spam Checking

What would be worse than to spend all that time preparing your message, only to have it blocked by spam filters? With (ec) Email Connect, you can check your email to see how it will fair. If we feel your email is too likely to get blocked, we'll give you feedback on what you can do to lower your spam score.

See What Your Message Will Look Like in Different Clients

To insure maximum response, it's important your email looks just right in every email client. (ec) Email Connect provides functionality to let you preview your message in different email clients without leaving our interface. Supported email client previews include Outlook, Thunderbird, GMail, AOL, Yahoo and many others.

If we detect something that might not display properly, we'll give you tips on how you can fix it.

Stay CAN-SPAM Compliant

Getting blacklisting is bad for both you and PRESSfish, so it's important our tool makes it easy for you to stay in CAN-SPAM compliance. Along with instant unsubscription request honoring, we also provide a suppression list where you can add email addresses who should never be contacted on any mailing list you manage in the future.

We also make it extremely easy to add your address to the bottom of each email. This helps people remember where they signed up for your email and reduces the risk of it being marked as spam.

We automatically clean your list by providing automatic hard and soft bounce removal. We also ask our staff to check your emails to make sure they're CAN-SPAM compliant.

Statistics

Our statistics reporting will tell you just about every stat you can think of when it comes to your campaign management requirements. Statistics include email open stats, bounceback reports, unsubscribe statistics, new subscriber reports, autoresponder information and more. Where possible, statistics are provided to you in graphs for easy interpreting.

Within each email, we also provide link tracking. This allows you to track each specific link within your message to see where people have travelled from your newsletter.

Website Integration

Easily create subscription forms for integration into your website. These forms will let you add people to your mailing list. We also provide an option to CAPTCHA to help avoid any bot from automating additions to your subscriber list.

Professional, Friendly Support by Phone and Email

Our professional customer service team are available to assist you right through setup, migration and managing your email campaigns. We are available both by toll-free phone support an email.
