Email advertising is one of the most commonly used forms of advertising today. Almost every company is using this very fast, cheap and effective way of reaching customers. With strict laws in place, many companies are reaping the benefits from email advertising: cost-effectiveness, efficiency, and the ability to reach the customers who have expressed an interest in the product. Email ads help to improve a companys brand loyalty, as customers can be kept updated about the latest offerings. They save a lot of time as compared to traditional direct mail advertising. The results are also measurable, as nearly 80% of the responses arrive within the first three days after sending the mail. It is also very easy to track, as bounce-backs, click-through and other responses can be tracked immediately.

Bulk email advertising involves the process of sending emails containing advertisements to millions of customers at the same time. This is very fast, cheap and sure way of reaching the maximum number of people.

There are companies that provide millions of email addresses of customers who have opted to receive emails about the products. These addresses are given to companies that want to send email advertisements but do not have a database of email addresses of opt-in customers. These addresses are sourced from several email address service websites over the Internet. These addresses are priced between 10 cents to 30 cents each. These companies also offer other services, such as designing the advertisements, sending the emails and tracking the responses.

Some companies have special offers, such as sending emails to 50,000 addresses for just $40. All this can be done within just a few hours! There are also special software tools that enable bulk email advertising. Some of the features include contact list management, customization of email messages, validation of the email addresses, processing of incoming messages, embedding of HTML messages, and import of contacts from ADO/ODBC, Microsoft Access databases, Microsoft Excel files, CSV files and other formats. The prices of these packages start from around $30.
