Review #25:The review of 1,000 Targeted Emails from a popular advertising network!

Service Name: 1,000 Targeted Emails from Rent-A-List

Web Site: http://www.DigitalProductSearch.com/ral

Price: $89.99

Time Tested: 270+ days ago

Guarantee: N/A

Comments:After testing their banner advertising service and 1,500 visitors, I decided to test their targeted emails...These are actually "paid-to-read" emails, that's why they offer a guaranteed CTR (= Click-Through-Rate) of at least 50% or they'll rerun your ad. This was not very clear from their order page and I thought that no incentive was provided to the subscribers to open the emails and click on the links, but if that was the case it would be totally impossible to offer a so huge guaranteed CTR. I tested this service promoting a $70 product and as you can imagine received more than 500 clicks, but no sales. I think also that their asking price for 1,000 incentivized emails is too high. They hold at least one special offer each month providing a discount of 50%, and this way price becomes more reasonable. If you can also invest on one of their large packages, during their special offer, it could be cost effective.

Ratings: This service gets 7-5-5 for quality, value for money, and results. I want to comment that the "5" value-for-money rating is for their regular prices. If the rating was for their discounted prices, then the value-for-money would be "7".

Conclusion:If you promote a free product or service or if your objective is to generate leads
for your business, this service could possibly work.

Tip:I recommend you to not use this service to promote a paid product/service, but ONLY if
your offer is free or at least includes a free trial. I also recommend you to test targeted emails
only when they have a special offer and once you are satisfied with your results, you may find it
cost effective to pay full price.
