What program organizes contacts in groups then sends emails to certain individuals at certain times?
-
A family friend of mine asked me for help on organizing his contacts. He works in insurance and has about 2000+ contacts. He asked me to figure out a way to separate these contacts into important very important and least important. These different groups will get timely messages at different times. For example, his very important contacts need the most attention so he sends them 3 emails a year. His important contacts get 2 and least important 1. Is there a way for an automated system to send out emails to these different groups of contacts at different times?

To add to Greg's answer, Mailchimp is indeed a great tool. The way you would do this is create a custom field in Mailchimp (eg. 'Importance'). When you import the data from Excel as well as basic fields like name, email address and company name you would have a 4th column for the importance rating. Then in Mailchimp you would create segments for each of the three categories. When you come to send each campaign you would send to the relevant segment. Once the segments are set up if you import more data it auto updates. Fairly easy to do but give me a yell if you/your friend get stuck!
