1ShoppingCart
1ShoppingCart is perfect for customers looking to establish an ecommerce store and begin selling online. This site is includes the option to differentiate between lists in order to mail just those who buy specific products, or the entire list. 1ShoppingCart is exceptional at email marketing and payment processing.
Westwood Virtual Associates says, “It’s one of the more reputable shopping cart services on the net”. Although 1ShoppingCart is great at integrating your shopping cart with your email, there are some downsides to this company. 1ShoppingCart, being primarily a shopping cart service,
has lower deliverability rates than other companies like GetResponse, MailChimp, or Aweber. The benefit to using 1ShoppingCart is that your not managing an autoresponder and a shopping cart, you only focus on the shopping cart aspect because 1ShoppingCart has it all built in to one.
