You probably have heard that GetResponse is celebrating its 10th anniversary!

To thank you for helping us reach this important milestone, we have a very nice discount waiting for anyone who purchases or upgrades a GetResponse account!

But that’s not all. We have also prepared a video about our company. Take a look and browse through the decade with us. Imagine the excitement when the first message was sent from a GetResponse account!

So sit back, rock to the music, and watch ten years of GetResponse squeezed into two minutes!


We are really proud to announce that GetResponse is celebrating its 10th anniversary today! Hard to believe but true – a whole decade of email marketing!

Throughout the years, we’ve tried to continuously improve our usability, and to develop new tools and launch bigger and better versions to meet the changing needs of SOHO and small business marketers like you. We know it’s tough out there.

So today we celebrate 10 years of success, but we also celebrate you, our customer. To thank you for helping us reach this important milestone, we have a very nice discount waiting for anyone who purchases or upgrades a GetResponse account!

Don’t delay! We’re giving you an entire month, but time flies! To take advantage of the discount, you must purchase your new or upgraded GetResponse account between October 26 and November 30. The “10% off” promotion is valid only on www.getresponse.com and the 10% discount applies to the initial payment you choose for your plan.

So don’t wait another minute! Log in and upgrade your GetResponse account, take the discount and join the GetResponse Team as we celebrate the 10th anniversary of the best email marketing solution on the market.

If you’re new to GetResponse, what better time  to launch your email marketing! Just purchase a new GetResponse account and start growing your ROI today with your 10% off your new email marketing account.

When subscribers receive your message, the real marketing begins. Success depends on whether they 1. open and read your message; 2. click through it; 3. respond to your call to action. So if your delivery rates are great, as with GetResponse, and your open rates are running at about 20% to 30%, you don’t have to worry as that’s considered about average. Of course, it varies by industry but the point is − you can always improve by paying attention to a few of the “basics”.

Plain Jane Text Emails Can Rock!

Piotr Krupa

Poor “Jane” is getting a bad rap when it comes to all-text email marketing. After all, it’s up to us to format our plain text emails so they’re really attractive, easy to read, and interesting, right? Too often we’re blaming less-than-thrilling results on the plain text format, when it could be our lack of content design that caused the “yawn heard round the world”.

So let’s go back to the basics for one blog and address the problem of “content” mapping or formatting, and why it matters to those of us who send all-text emails from time to time.

GetResponse is Global!

Piotr Krupa

The latest report from the GetResponse Analytics team has provided some great insights into the growing popularity of GetResponse Email Marketing around the world…and a few surprises!

Although North America is still leading with just over 50% of our customer market, some interesting growth is happening in other areas of the globe that could change things up a bit.

For example, Asia has surpassed Europe and now comprises 25% of our Email Marketing base, increasing the gap over Europe to 6% in 2009. Within Asia, the most significant expansion has come from India, which now boasts more Email Marketing activity than the UK. Perhaps this is no surprise as the world’s second most populated country?

We’re happy to report that both Oceania and Africa are entering the GetResponse Email Marketing arena at a good clip and we expect to see steady increases in their activity in the coming months.

Are you part of this amazing Email Marketing growth? What made you choose GetResponse?
Tell us your story by leaving a comment!

We are proud to announce that GetResponse welcomed its 10,000 customer since the launch of 6.0 a few short months ago! We wanted to show our appreciation so we’re going to surprise the lucky client with a very special gift. Of course, the customer has no idea about what’s coming and why, so we hope it will be a pleasant surprise.

We’re also happy to report that GetResponse is experiencing strong growth across all regions and markets. While we attribute this to our reliable, affordable and easy-to-use features, there’s no doubt that more and more marketers are turning to email as a proven driver of high ROI.

So we’ll keep the good news coming and, once again, thank all of you for your support!
