Email Marketing Campaigns

[Troy DeLong]

What platform are you using for email marketing campaigns? We built a BEAUTIFUL Mailchimp account and sent out half a dozen Wholesale properties, only to get flagged and our account 'Deactivated' after sending one 'Private Lender' email campaign. 

Let's hear who you use and why you recommend them or don't. Thanks all!

Can I ask you what you mean by Private Lender campaign? I also have Mailchimp and was literally working on asking my investor database if they would be interested in being PMLs and periodically sending it.

@Lauren Cutchen Absolutely! 

So, if you're looking to email your investor clients to try and raise funds, I'll have to warn you that it could very easily get your account shut down almost instantly with Mailchimp. 

We LOVED using them for our Wholesale deals, but with our FIRST private lender email, they sent us the following with zero warning...

**************************
"Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out. We appreciate your interest in MailChimp, however with ISPs and email filters becoming more and more sensitive, unfortunately, the risk associated with the account is too great for us to support sending. We do have to ask that a new vendor be found for your email delivery needs.

This isn't an issue of the legitimacy of your business. As a bulk-delivery service, we have to protect the deliverability of all our customers.

We appreciate your understanding in this matter."
**************************

After requesting a review and reversal of this twice, they landed us with a final blow of shutting our account down. We met ALL of the criteria for our private money lenders being 'Friends & Family' and they all have agreed to receive email communications from us. So, at the end of the day we have zero idea as to was truly caused this...

2 years ago I had successfully completed half a dozen email campaigns to commercial mortgage brokers.  ThenMailchimp **** me down, and two other email companies rejected my application.  I engaged my webmaster - SEO expert to handle it and she contacted Mailchimp and was able to secure a new account for us, with her listed as having the final authority to authorize a mailing.  24 mailing later never another problem.
