Here's how most small businesses do email. They sign up for Mailchimp or Constant Contact because that's the name they know. It's cheap at first. Then the list grows, because the business is working, and the bill grows faster. At 5,000 contacts Mailchimp's Standard plan runs about $100 a month; at 10,000 it's roughly $1,800 a year. Nothing about what you send changed. The meter did. And they charge you for the people who unsubscribed. Constant Contact dropped its free plan entirely and makes you call to cancel. That's not a tool. That's a landlord.
Meanwhile the thing you're renting is the single most valuable marketing asset you own: the list of people who already said yes. It's the one channel with no algorithm, no ad auction, and no platform deciding who sees you.
So we don't rent it. We run email on your own website, on a self-hosted system we've used for years and run our own list on. Every subscriber, tag, open, and click lives in your database. The sending costs fractions of a cent per email instead of dollars per contact. Your signup forms, your website, and your list are one system, so a form fill on Tuesday can trigger a welcome email on Tuesday without a third login. And if you ever leave us, you export the list and walk. It's the same rule as everything else we do: you own the site, you own the reviews, you own the list.
Every one of our web clients gets the same recommendation: migrate off the rented platform, keep the money, keep the data. Wild concept, right?
Newsletters
Automation
Your Own List
Three plans, all published. Every one includes writing, design, real photos, sending from your own site, list hygiene, and a monthly report on opens, clicks, and what they turned into. No per-contact fees, ever.
Migration and setup, $499 one-time. The email system installed on your site, your list imported from Mailchimp or Constant Contact with tags intact, sending configured and authenticated so you land in the inbox, signup forms built, and the welcome automation live. Waived on the Nurture and Engine plans.
Do the math against the meter. A 10,000-contact list that costs about $1,800 a year to rent costs a few dollars a month to send from your own site. The migration pays for itself inside the first year, and after that the savings are yours every year you're in business.
Three published plans: Newsletter at $299 a month (two emails), Nurture at $599 (four emails plus automations), and Engine at $999 (weekly plus full automation and testing). Migration and setup is $499 one-time, waived on Nurture and Engine. There are no per-contact fees because the list runs on your own site.
Yes. We import your list from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, or anywhere else with tags and history intact, set up the email system on your website, authenticate sending so you land in the inbox, and rebuild your signup forms and welcome automation. Most migrations are live within two weeks.
Two reasons. It's cheaper: rented platforms charge by contact, and a 10,000-contact list runs about $1,800 a year to rent versus a few dollars a month to send from your own site. And you own the data: every subscriber, open, and click lives in your database, integrated with your website and forms, and it leaves with you if you ever go.
Every plan includes writing and design. You give us the news, the offer, or the story; we turn it into an email that reads like it came from a person. You approve it before it sends.
Yes, and nonprofits are a large part of our email work. Donor updates, event emails, and Giving Tuesday campaigns, with segmentation so lapsed donors, monthly givers, and volunteers each get the message meant for them.
We're based in Monticello, NY and serve businesses and nonprofits across Sullivan County, Orange County, and the Hudson Valley, by appointment.
