A few of the awards Group Mail 5 has received:

A small sample of testimonials we have received:

"I've been using Group Mail for over two years.  What has impressed me most (beyond just the great software itself) is your INCREDIBLE customer service.  Every time I've sent in a suggestion on how to improve the software, you've always found a way to incorporate that suggestion and release an updated version--within just a few days! In every interaction I've had with you I've been incredibly impressed with your efficiency, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and top quality of both your product & service.  I wish everyone did business they way you do. Just wanted you to know you've got a very happy customer.  Keep up the great work!" Sincerely, Andrew Wilder, http://www.andrewwilder.com/


"Thanks for developing a great product. I purchased Group Mail after spending a great deal of time searching for an email tool to communicate with our customers who buy our signed memorabilia from soccer players in the English Premier League. Importing my customers details was simplicity itself and my first personalized email was out in less than an hour. Inbound orders followed quickly afterwards and the product had paid for itself in 2 or 3 days. This does not even take into account the amount of time I saved over previous methods I had used. Group Mail is so easy to use I communicate more regularly with my customers and our business has benefited significantly from this. Easily the best piece of software I have bought for many years. Well done!!" Rob Wylie, http://www.bobbychariot.com/


"After evaluating several mailing list management systems I have found "Group Mail Pro" to be by far the most powerful and easy to manage system on the market. Group Mail Pro is head and shoulders above its competition. Clearly, your company has spent considerable time and resources in developing Group Mail Pro to such a high level. I would recommend your company and products to anyone." Steve Kelly, Managing Director, http://talkcalgary.com/

"We have done an extensive amount of email to our guests for the last year and a half. I had tried them all - list services, cgi scripts, other programs similar to yours and more. Yesterday we bought your Group Mail Pro. I am soooo impressed! We did a mailing this morning. Just the one plug-in that takes care of the bounces and unsubscribes was worth every penny. Just wanted to say thanks!" Michelle Herrin, Online Marketing Manager, Perry's Ocean Edge Resort, http://perrysoceanedge.com/

"Group Mail is an excellent product - powerful yet easy to use. I was sending hundreds of personalized e-mails within a couple of hours of installing the software." Cathal O'Connor, Multimedia Solutions Ltd., http://www.multimedia.ie/

"Group Mail 5 is one of the most thoughtfully conceived, easy to learn and use, and effective software packages we've ever tried.  Our staff was able to master the program and use its full potential in less than one day. Communicating with our current and potential customers has never been faster or easier.  The ability to export and import databases flawlessly is an added bonus.  Group Mail 5 is well worth the investment." Rick L. Frimmer, CEO, Live Discs, LLC, http://www.livediscs.com/

"Just a quick note to say that this is one of the most well-designed and smoothest operating software packages I have had the pleasure to own. I wish Microsoft products worked this well." David Burch

"Group Mail is a terrific tool for a small business with a limited marketing budget.  It has enabled us to send out a polished newsletter to our opt-in e-mail customer list on a much more regular basis.  It's easy to use, even for a non-technical person.  I endorse it wholeheartedly!"  Nancy MacRae, President, alleghenycountry.com

"I just wanted to let you know how impressed I am with your software. After trying for days to manually handle a mailing list I tried to find some software which would make the job easier. I downloaded several different programs, and deleted almost as many when it was impossible to figure out how to get them to work properly. Group Mail was different. It was so easy to set up and run. I think I was using your program in less time than it took to download it (on a DSL Line) Just wanted to say thank you." Richard O. Collins, Alumni Relations - Business Alumni Council, University of New Orleans

"Group Mail is just so excellent, a pleasure to use it, thank you very much." Michael Maardt, CEO, KnowWare Publishing - http://www.KnowWareGlobal.com

"Just wanted you to know that all your help was greatly appreciated. We sent out our first e-mail yesterday, to 6,500 union members around the state. The program worked flawlessly. My colleague said that every other group e-mail program he had tried in the past choked on large lists, and he was skeptical that this one would work. Not only did it work, but it has more features than the much-higher-priced competition we were also looking at. The parsing of first and last names is fantastic, since our current membership system doesn't separate the names. Thank you again for an amazing product and world-class service." Adam J. Blust, Information Systems Specialist, Wisconsin Education Association Council - http://www.weac.org

"Just to say that we have tried Group Mail out on our first email campaign and it was superb !!  It worked very well indeed.  It's easy to use and a great business tool.  We love it." Tim Hook, UK Sales and Marketing, Digital Vision Ltd. - http://www.digitalvisiononline.com

"Just a note to congratulate you on a great software package. I have been evaluating a number of packages for a small newsletter of 3500 business subscribers. I just thought that I should write and let you know that of all the software, yours is the one that stands out from the crowd. I was amazed at the well thought out interface. The Plug-ins all work well and make the management of a newsletter so simple. The price is really good too. All the other ones are far dearer than yours. Our Australian dollar is worthless against the US dollar so this is very important to us Australian purchasers that the price is right." Robert Harder, BBS Newsletter

"I just wanted you to know that I have been using Group Mail now for about a month and a half, and so far it has worked like a charm. I wanted to take a brief moment to thank you for all the technical support you gave me at the beginning of my efforts!  You were very patient and resourceful, and I very much appreciate it! I recommend the Group Mail whenever I have opportunity!  It's a great product! Hope all is well, and wishing you the greatest success! Blessings and peace!" Paul Rhode - SoulStrength.com

"God bless your software engineers for developing such a beautiful worthy program. As an individual I find it very useful; organizations of every size will find it much more useful. I was always wishing that there should be such program available somewhere. Indeed a wish come true."  Thanks once again. Dinesh Valke

"Sure beats the hell out of all the other, more expensive, programs I tried (couldn't even get them to WORK properly). Since I don't have 40 hours a week to spend learning some exotic program... your clean, straight forward no-nonsense approach is very refreshing... which aids my productivity considerably." Dave Rietz, Mission Possible, South Carolina - http://www.dorway.com

"I just wanted to let you know that Group Mail is a terrific product. Every aspect of the product from the documentation to the actual product is well done and excellent. Congratulations from a marketing professional in the software industry." Steve Pollock, VP of Marketing, Real Intent - http://www.realintent.com/

"Group Mail is excellent for fun and business. I use Group Mail for an informal joke network as well as keeping my customers informed of software updates and the status of projects in development. It allows me to easily send targeted messages to registered software users and users involved with various beta projects." Thank You, Gregory Engel, Engel and Associates

"I've used (or tried to use) hundreds of shareware utilities over the years and I have to say, yours is one of the top five I've ever downloaded. It saves us a thousand dollars a week in fax broadcast charges as it allows us to easily send out our weekly newsletter to eight hundred recipients via email. Not to mention the time it has saved. Thanks again for making my job easier and my boss happier." Adil Alshab

"I'm using Group Mail daily to keep in contact with approx. 1600 translators spread all over the world, Group Mail has greatly reduced the work in tracking and mailing work on the different projects we are involved in. I can warmly recommend Group mail to anyone who need to mail a lot of people regularly." Peter Kjeldsen, Avalon Technologies Ltd.

"We use Group Mail to keep our customers informed of our latest software releases. It is easy to use and works great!" Tony Cirigliano - http://www.suzton.com

"To get right to the point - Group Mail is the best bulk mailing program ever created! As the owner and operator of the Concert Direct web site, I must keep our registered users up to date with what is happening on the site and in the music industry. I depend on Group Mail software to get the job done.  Its easy layout and straight-forward instructions are a pleasure and its speed is incredible. Group Mail is definitely the best there is when it come to bulk mailing!" Evan E. Zelig, Concert Direct - http://www.concertdirect.com
