iContact

iContact is an email marketing platform that has been around since 2003 and clearly targets small operations: simple interface, low prices, reachable support.

You build your emails with a drag & drop editor and a library of pre-designed templates, you manage your contacts and lists, then you trigger automations. An AI writing assistant suggests content ideas when you get stuck on a subject line or a message body.
