6 free and low cost email autoresponders
DESCRIPTION
In this PPT, the 6 most important email autoresponders have been discussed, which specifically cater to small businesses, due to their affordable prices. The tools discussed include AWeber, GetResponse, Constant Contact, iContact, MailChimp and LeadSquared. There are several paid (and a few free) tools available online for setting up email autoresponders in landing pages or forms. However, not every small business has a huge budget just for email autoresponders. Therefore, here is a list of a few free and optimally priced (under 20$) tools for the purpose. Most of them have advanced plans, with several additional features for extra cost; but let us just stick to the basics today. Most of the paid landing pages or forms permit a one month free trial, thereby allowing the user to test the email autoresponder software and get familiarized with the settings.TRANSCRIPT

Why are autoresponders important for businesses?
1) To send notifications to leads, that their query has been received.
2) To send across (virtual) goodies to a prospect after a newsletter signup.
3) To inform the sender that the receiver is currently away and will look into the
matter as soon as possible.
4) To respond to FAQs.
5) To notify the concerned party of a change of address.
