Since everyone's needs are different, you should evaluate a few email marketing companies to see which one you like the best. And why not… since almost all of them are free to try out. With regards to pricing, expect to pay $10 to $150 per month depending on how many contacts you have and how often you email them.

Just remember that using proper email etiquette (no spamming!) is important to long term success with email marketing.
