Mailing Lists/Autoresponders
Practice Pay Solutions' e-commerce system, Professional Cart Solutions, is much more than a shopping cart, it’s also a powerful email marketing system. You can deliver your ezine or newsletter, send broadcast email, and set up an unlimited number of autoresponders, all completely integrated with the same client database used for our sophisticated shopping cart. You can use our autoresponder/mailing list manager alone for less than a dollar per day, or with our Basic or Pro package, use it along with our shopping cart to take advantage of all its advanced features. Here’s what our autoresponder and mailing list management system offers you:

Unlimited Autoresponders
An autoresponder is an automated email that is sent in response to an entry on a web form or an incoming email to a special address. Unlike other services, Professional Cart Solutions offers you an unlimited number of autoresponders for as many different purposes as you like. For example, you might have one autoresponder for prospects to get more information on your products and services, one for people who wish to subscribe to your ezine, and another for clients who purchase a particular product so you can follow up with them for repeat sales.
An autoresponder can contain just one message or a whole series to be sent over a period of time. You can offer an ecourse with the lessons delivered by autoresponder once per week, or send periodic messages to your affiliates suggesting how they can sell more of your products and services. Autoresponders are a powerful tool for enhancing your Internet business. You could easily spend twice what we charge on other autoresponder systems alone, and we include ours with our shopping cart at no extra charge (or you can purchase it separately if you prefer).

Numerous Ways to Trigger
Our autoresponders can be triggered in many ways. They can be sent by:
- Sending an email to the autoresponder’s unique email address. Professional Cart Solutions generates a unique email address for each autoresponder you set up. Clients can send an email directly to that email address to subscribe, and you will get a copy of the email they sent. The client will receive the autoresponder messages as if you were sending them out by hand every day.
- Submitting a web form. The system generates standard Join Our Mailing List Forms and Questionnaire Forms, or you can create Custom Forms. Submitting a form can subscribe clients to a single autoresponder or series, and with Custom Forms you can have a one form subscribe a client to multiple autoresponders.
- Making a purchase through your shopping cart. You can create an autoresponder to be sent after every completed transaction. Follow-up messages to established customers will generate significant profits.
- Purchasing a particular item through your shopping cart. You can create a specific autoresponder to be sent only when a particular item is purchased. You could use this feature to have the autoresponder deliver the product itself. For example if you offer a class delivered by email, students would use the shopping cart to register and pay for your ecourse, and the autoresponder would deliver lessons automatically.
- Joining your affiliates program. You can set up an autoresponder just for your affiliates that includes customized instructions or training on how to market your product or service. Then follow up with autoresponder messages to maintain their interest in your products and contact with you.
- Manually adding email addresses and subscribing them to an autoresponder. You can subscribe any or all of your clients to an autoresponder from your Professional Cart Solutions account. Or if you have a pre-existing opt-in mailing list, you can upload it to Professional Cart Solutions and subscribe the entire group to an autoresponder. (Requires closed-loop confirmation to comply with Unsolicited Commercial Email regulations.)

Delivers Ezines and Newsletters
Professional Cart Solutions provides you with a Join Our Mailing List Form that you can set to subscribe clients to any autoresponder. Your autoresponder can thank clients for subscribing and deliver their first issue. Then each week or month, you can use our Broadcast function to send your new issue to everyone subscribed to that autoresponder. Set up these features yourself with our easy-to-use web interface and comprehensive user guide, or hire a cart technician to help you at an affordable rate.

Default and Custom Sign-Up Forms
Professional Cart Solutions provides a standard Join Our Mailing List Form and Questionnaire Form that you can post on your web site. Ask for just subscriber names and email addresses or request as much information as you would like, including address, phone number, or up to 10 custom fields with questions of your own choosing. When a customer submits the form, the information is stored in your client database, and they can be subscribed to any autoresponder. The autoresponder can use any of the fields from the questionnaire to personalize your message. You can also use HTML to create a completely custom form to access your client database and autoresponders.

Sends Broadcast Email
Professional Cart Solutions allows you to send personalized emails to any group of clients you like. You can send thousands of emails with one click to your customers, affiliates, or any group who has opted in to receive mail from you. Our powerful search features allow you to select clients for a broadcast based on location, purchase history, your custom fields, and more. Broadcast email is sent to everyone on the target list at the same time, making it ideal for offering special sales, making product announcements, or communicating with many clients or students at once.

Personalize Messages
You can personalize your autoresponder or broadcast messages with any of the fields in your client database, including name, company name, city or state, and your custom fields.

Message Format in Text, HTML or MIME
Your ezine or newsletter, autoresponders, and broadcast emails can be sent in plain text, HTML, or multi-part MIME format. If you choose MIME, you can provide both text and HTML. Our system will first attempt to send your subscribers the HTML version. If they cannot receive HTML emails, it will then send the text version.

Autoresponder Reports
Our autoresponder reports will list for you all the subscription requests and remove requests you receive, and exactly when the requests were made. You’ll be able to track response to your ads and mailings, and compare subscriptions to orders to determine your conversion rate.

Tell-a-Friend Form
Professional Cart Solutions gives your visitors a way to recommend your web site to friends by sending an email directly from a form on your site. Our Tell-a-Friend form uses your customized look, asks your site visitors for their name and email address, and allows them to enter up to 10 names and email addresses of their friends.

Automated Subscription Management
Every autoresponder or broadcast email you send carries a link that clients can use to update their own subscription. They can enter their own email address changes, or unsubscribe themselves if they no longer wish to receive your emails, saving you from making these changes manually.

Mass Subscribing
Using our search features, you can search for a group of clients based on characteristics such as geographic location or products they have purchased and subscribe them as a group to any autoresponder or series.
