Reasons to use reverse auction software

Reverse Auction : The reverse auction, A Service buyer creates detailed specifications into the secure web based reverse auction platform and Service provider submit their bids in real time. Forward Auction : The Forward auction are electronic auctions, which can be used by sellers to sell their items to many potential buyers. Sellers and buyers can be individuals, organizations etc. Items are commonly placed at a special site for auction (e.g. eBay.com). Buyers can continuously bid for the items they are interested in. Eventually the highest bidder wins the item. Penny Auction : Is a type of all-pay auction in which all participants must pay a non-refundable fee to place each small incremental bid Silent Auction : This is variant of the English auction in which bids are written on a sheet of paper. At the predetermined end of the auction, the highest listed bidder wins the item. Before parents meet in schools they get to BID and see the product online and communicated via SMS

It helps validating and communicating with suppliers

One of the important tasks that are carried out by the auction software is to validate the list of suppliers to ensure that the prospect suppliers are genuine. The software also allows sending the letters of intent through its automation programs without any manual intervention. To add to these, the software also facilitates real-time messaging and chat services between the suppliers and the buyer while a live auction is taking place.

It helps in post bid analysis

Once the auction is over, the next tedious task is to analyze all the bids and determine the most profitable bid for the business. This task is easily accomplished by the reverse auction software programs, as they are designed to analyze the bids against the various bid criteria. Once the analysis is done, the software also produces reports for the business owners to take the final call.

The auction software helps the procurement managers to orchestrate the whole bidding process that begins with the initial setup to defining the strategy of the bid and finally to the overall management of the entire process of procurement. Needless to say, with the various automated processes it saves huge cost for the business as well. Looking at the end to end auction solutions that are offered by the software, these are becoming an indispensible part of any reverse auction program these days.

Like any other project management software, reverse auction software plays very beneficial role in the success of an auction program. While many businesses gain specific set of benefits with the deployment of reverse auction software, here are some common reasons that cause businesses to invest in this type of software.

It can prepare RFPs easily

One of the most time taking processes in any reverse auction is the preparing of the RFP of Request for Proposal. Procurement managers are required to bang their heads determining the various criteria that has to be put in the RFP before it gets floated across to the prospect vendors. The automation of reverse auction software can cut down the time taken to create and generate RFPs manifolds, thereby saving time and efforts of the procurement managers.

Email marketing and Enewsletter systems and software reviews 2017

Our recommendations and reviews on email marketing broadcast software options

Since I delivered one of the first training courses on Email marketing in 2001, I have regularly been asked for recommendations for affordable E-mail broadcast software packages for Email marketing and sending Enewsletters. Today, email services are far more sophisticated when I first became involved with Email marketing 15+ years ago. The main changes are:

All Email services have some features of Marketing Automation including dynamic content, automated email sequences based on actions and lead-scoring scoring based on content interacted with (particularly important for B2B Email marketing)

Many email services are now part of broader 'Marketing Cloud services' particularly relevant for larger businesses. These are covered in our enterprise marketing cloud review

This post highlights some of the options for businesses of different sizes that are most commonly used in the UK and delegates on my E-mail marketing courses have recommended to me. It's an informal post I originally started on a previous site in 2005 to point marketers on courses to for a shortlist of suppliers to review and I've added to it and removed sites over the years. It also includes recommended reviews site.

I always recommend hosted (Email Service Provider or ESP, or SaaS) email marketing solutions rather than software since, in general, the reporting/tracking and bounce management capabilities of the cheaper desktop e-mail packages are inferior. There are also management problems with deliverability and blacklisting which are best managed by an external email service provider in my opinion.

Although you can use an email service provider in another country, I recommend using a local provider since this is easier for support and resolving deliverability problems locally. So I have highlighted UK Email marketing companies at the start of the list, but options for US and Asia Pacific are also covered.

The E-mail broadcast / management (E-mail Service Provider, ESP) solutions which are most cost-effective (below $50 per month for low volumes) recommended to me by delegates on my courses are as follows. I have grouped them by region, since often, local support is useful to deal with local deliverability issues.

2017 update: Free Email Marketing RFP Guide

Since I originally created this comparison around ten years ago I have updated it with new Email marketing services available in different countries which can give better local support.

Choosing the best email service provide can be challenging since there are so many features. Although some providers may offer 'Marketing Automation', there are many features within that. To help here we offer members now able to offer this downloadable checklist of features to look for when choosing an email - it's free to all members on Smart Insights.

Download free resource –Email marketing RFP Guide

A detailed checklist of email marketing features businesses should look for when comparing email marketing or enewsletter service.

Access the Free Email marketing platform RFP template checklist

Since this post was originally posted on my blog 10 years ago, there have been huge changes in functionality of email systems. So in 2016, many Email marketing providers have expanded their services to include broader Marketing Automation features and Marketing Clouds that cover marketing communications across the full customer lifecycle. If you want to learn about our top recommendations in these categories see our Digital Marketing Tools 2017 checklist, available as a free download to all Basic members.

Services comparing Email Marketing Software

Use publisher sites to compare criteria for email marketing systems side-by-side

Email Vendor Selection - I recommend this site for its comprehensive A-Z list of email service providers, email vendor guide and articles on issues to consider when selecting an ESP

G2Crowd Email marketing software category

Trustradius email marketing software reviews from users - a neat idea although there are not a representative number of reviews

Review of US-based E-mail marketing systems from Topten Reviews based on many criteria and ranking them in order (but position may be dependent on paid promotions)

In the next sections we have recommendations of ESPs we're familiar with who have local support which can be vital for timely response and knowledge of local deliverability issues.

Popular UK-based Email marketing systems most suited for small and medium businesses

NewZapp - a relatively low cost, capable UK-based solution

dotMailer - another cost-effective UK solution

Pure 360 - UK-based Email marketing specialists with options for SMEs and larger companies wishing to run trigger-based personalised Email marketing campaigns

Newsweaver - Offices in UK and Ireland with clients ranging from large multinationals to SMEs. Have examples of SMEs Email templates on their site

CommuniGator - a service focused on B2B Email marketing and Email marketing automation

European-based ESPs

GetResponse (an affordable ESP with clients in the EU and UK, but also popular in North America and elsewhere. It features an easy to use web-based interface and email creator)

ExpertSender - an ESP for medium-sized and enterprise-grade companies offering segmentation, marketing automation, throttling, IP volume balancing, list scalability and content management. With offices located in the US, EU, Russia and China it deploys 15 billion email messages annually

Newsletter2Go - Newsletter2Go is a Germany based online newsletter software provider with which companies, associations, public institutions, event managers and online shops etc., can send professional and personalised email and SMS newsletters.

Enterprise email service providers and Marketing Cloud providers with UK offices

These focus on providing services for large brands with complex needs of systems integration, higher quality support and delivery of services in different countries. Companies I have worked with in the UK at training days for their clients include:

Adobe Campaign

Emarsys

Mapp (Formerly Teradata and Ecircle)

HubSpot - most suited to B2B Email marketing automation

Marketo

Oracle Marketing cloud (Eloqua)

Redeye

Smartfocus (formerly Emailvision)

Salesforce - Pardot

Silverpop

Popular US-based Email broadcast services

MailChimp (US email service often recommended for its ease of use)

Constant Contact (again US-based but used widely in Europe)

Benchmark Email (a US-based email marketing platform with offices in Europe and worldwide). They differ from some of the other providers since along with ease-of-use and affordability, personalised support is included in all plans.

Asia Pacific Email management systems

Campaign Monitor (Australia-based)

Of course, there are literally hundreds of E-newsletter broadcast solutions and these represent the most widely used lower-cost options.

Key criteria to consider for an Email or Enewsletter system are - can the solution:

Track E-mail response at an individual level? Essential for follow-up?

Create automated email sequences for event-triggered or behavioural emails?

Integrate with actions on a websites, e.g. search or browse a product category?

Track campaign response across time / multiple campaigns?

Integrate response with customer database?

Manage profiling and subscription/unsubscribe?

Bounces, e.g. Out-of-office auto-replies?

Deliver WYSIWYG editing for marketing staff?

Archived e-newsletters on web site?

Is broadcasting straightforward?

Please add your comments on other systems or suppliers you can recommend, or not!
