Web design & hosting forum: Mailing Lists

Hello mrsubway,

Based on your description above, I am very sure that what you need is: a signup form with which subscribers of your site can be automatically added to your segment lists, and then later, you can email those subscribers later.

Well, my suggestion will be to find a email tool which integrated the functions you need, of course with low cost or even free. You can try my company's email tool: KoobooMail http://kooboomail.com/, you can sign up and get a free trial account, with which you can create segment lists and generate sign up forms for the lists. You just need to add the sign up form code into your webpage, then people who signed up on your web page will be automatically added into your segment list and you will be able to export the lists. After that you can start email the subscribers by using the powerful campaign function in this tool. Later, you can check how do subscribers behave with your email by viewing the report.

You can go to explore all the features KoobooMail has and get yourself an account and I would love to help if have any problem.
