Campaigner(C) Launches Powerful Free Email Marketing Solution

New Campaigner Free Service Offers Free, Unlimited Email Outreach to up to 500 Contacts


OTTAWA--(Marketwire - January 25, 2011) - Campaigner©, an email marketing service provider, today announced Campaigner Free, a free new service that helps users get the most from their marketing efforts with powerful, yet simple email marketing tools. For a limited time, Campaigner Free users can sign up for a "free forever" account, with the ability to create, send, and track an unlimited amount of targeted emails every month to contact lists of less than 500 individuals at no charge. Campaigner, a brand of cloud services provider j2 Global Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOM), is online at www.campaigner.com.

The new Campaigner Free service particularly appeals to advocacy-oriented organizations such as non-profits and consumer groups -- those who need to regularly communicate with a targeted list of individuals but have limited budgets and/or resources. 

"We needed to find a way to connect with our members to notify them of upcoming events and other opportunities they might be interested in," said Lacey Bowman, President of the Boston Alumnae Chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi. "We're a volunteer-based group and don't have the money to commit to an email marketing tool on a monthly basis, which is why we were intrigued by Campaigner Free. I'm so impressed by the powerful features included in Campaigner Free and am amazed that I can now track how many people have opened and interacted with my emails. This tool will allow us to take a fresh look at the way we connect with our members to make our emails more meaningful and measurable."

Campaigner Free's easy-to-use interface provides access to robust email marketing features, including:

  • Hundreds of professionally designed templates
  • Ability to target individuals based on interests and geographic location
  • Ability to easily edit images directly within Campaigner
  • Reporting that identifies who opened, read and interacted with each email message.

Combined, these tools will help customers increase the effectiveness of each email and generate a greater connection with their recipients.

"Campaigner Free empowers anyone, including non-profit organizations, hobby groups, as well as individuals and small businesses who may not have a budget for email marketing, with powerful, professional communications and reporting email marketing capabilities," said Steve Adams, vice president and general manager for Campaigner. "With Campaigner Free, we are bringing the power of a tried-and-tested email marketing tool like Campaigner to individuals and groups who have basic email marketing needs but still want the features and benefits of a professional email marketing solution."
