The leading email marketing company we all know about — iContact, has reached some time ago an impressive new milestone — 100,000 users worldwide, and now launched a unique feature to support the expanding community — called the iContact Community. This allows visitors to leave a comment, rate and discuss email newsletters, making email interactive for the first time and enabling subscriber discussions around email content.

This turns an ordinary email marketing company mechanism into an interactive, users-friendly support community where visitors have a say. It might look similar to dig, as users can register, create public profiles, and categorize content they like, however, iContact community gives much more to its users. Apart from the ability to vote on your favorite content, comment, view the top ranked content within each of the 18 categories and  discuss topics of your interest in the forums, you are also able to vote on a newsletter that you feel has great content and see it move up in its category. Currently iContact Community has over 120,000 registered members  and this number grows by the day.

So, how can you benefit from it?

This is an idea solution if you consider publishing  your email newsletters to the iContact Community as they can help you grow your list and easily reach your subscribers with very good inbox deliverability.

How much does it cost?
