Email Marketing - And RSS Publishing

Jacob — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 21:20:12 +0000

I have been testing different email campaign engines and how they handle RSS feed distribution. The goal of this post is to test various email campaign services and how they scrape content form the website, either they publish the RSS excerpt or scrape the HTML form the page.

Findings:

Mail Chimp Can display full HTML and images, strips CSS class on image, had to use a little custom code from this post to get HTML and images to display the way I wanted.
FeedBlitz publishes the HTML of the full post, with CSS classes intact can add custom CSS in the head to float images. Funky GUI over all and has few template options that I could I find.
iContact publishes the excerpt from the RSS feed, no images little design control.
Campaign Monitor Couldn’t find a way to send out RSS automatically

Over all I like Mail Chimp for both regular email marketing and RSS email publishing.
