Becoming a business companion for digital marketers, email marketing tools have restored the faith in this conventional digital marketing process. An email marketing tool is more of a customer relationship maintainer than just a email sending tool. There are many email marketing tools on the internet but, I chose the following 8 in my top order.

Logic behind my top order
All the top companies have built wonderful email marketing tools with great features. But, when compared to each other, they differ. Some good companies have built tools with limited features, some those are available with good features aren’t affordable and some which are affordable with good features have bad UI for an average user.Among the top order, I found GetResponse the only best email marketing service with the wonderful features (and some are being added from time to time) and available at affordable prices. If there is a tool that follows the principles of simplicity, efficiency and reliability, you should go for it. GetResponse is one in such category and stood on top of my list. Second comes Vertical Response followed by my first and beginner-favorite MailChimp, dedicated to serve email marketing Campaigner, Mailigen, Pinpointe, Aweber and Benchmark.
