Compare Mailings to Other Emailers
The following table of comparisons was adapted from the Direct Mail website which omitted Mailings. So I am completing that table by adding the information about Mailings. See the original here.
As noted in the linked notes for Mailings below, the Mailings philosophy is to not re-invent the wheel as certain functionality can often be better provided by other third party products Mailings is intended to work with.
For example, take message composition. Mailings can send messages created in Mail using its stationery feature. Since such messages are composed in Mail, you have all the editing power of Mail combined with the extensive array or tempates available by thrid parties for creating compelling HTML messages for a mass emailing via Mailings.
The Mailings Help files, in particular the Quick Start and Tour, provide further examples of such integration with other products.
The comparison below introduces a new golden checkmark whose meaning is:
=
Mailings has alternative solutions to acheive similar functionality.
Each feature is linked to a popup window with supplementary elaboration. Click the feature to read them.
