Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) August 21, 2003 -- The ACT!

At this meeting, Karen Fredricks will discuss products that facilitate the sending of bulk E-Mail using the ACT! software program. These products help overcome limitations set by local Internet Service Providers as well as to simplify the creation of an HTML template.

According to Fredricks, "More and more ACT! users want to utilize ACT! to help them with their e-marketing campaigns. However, many of those users become frustrated because they dont fully understand all that is entailed in sending bulk E-Mail. These add-on tools will allow ACT! users to send e-mail blasts without having to become HTML experts. A successful business stays in touch with their contacts; there is no better way to accomplish than through the use of ACT! and e-mail."
