### "MaxBulk Mailer = Ninja Sales Communications"

November 11, 2019

5.0

The best thing about MaxBulk Mailer is that it worked with our old-fashioned POP mail service without any trouble. Can't tell you how great that felt.

Pros

In less than 10 minutes, I can send a personalized email, with content attached, to 100+ prospects and clients. Can't get better than that for a sales professional whose business depends on frequent, personal, on-target communications.

Cons

Managing lists is somewhat non-intuitive, and customizing fields in lists where you plan to import data can be a little tricky.

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

No way to create customized, personal email with attachments.

### "Maxbulk is One of My Favorite Programs"

October 30, 2019

5.0

I have used this for almost a decade I think. It keeps getting better, it’s super reliable. I haven’t had much luck getting my non-techie friends to use it on their own. I also did a mailing list on mlm.

Pros

The control that I have over my mailings. The price is right. The support has always been great too.

Cons

I have to customize my emails outside of the software and upload my embedded images. But, I have found a great service for that part now so it’s not so pretty perfect now. The only other thing is I used mailing list manager with it in my site and I think it may have gotten hacked.

### "Good but not very good"

June 6, 2022

3.0

Pros

I have long used MaxBulk Mailer because I was creating HTML emails to send to numerous contacts as a press release. Very often the recipients found the e-mails in spam, there was no possibility to ask to unsubscribe and the sending took place in blocks of 100, then you had to wait for the sending to restart. Good software but you can find better

Cons

I would include the possibility to unsubscribe from the mailing list

In order to avoid your message to be delivered to the recipient's inbox and not the junk box, check the deliverability of your message here: https://www.mail-tester.com. You should get a 10/10 score to avoid delivery issues. Note that in current v8.8.2 you can click on the 'SpamCheck' button directly to access the very same service. There are many ways to add an unsubscribe link or button to your message. It is explained here: https://www.maxprog.com/site/blog/post.php?id=1662 You can choose to send all at once or in blocks of xxx recipients. This is a setting you can modify at any time.

### "Awesome product but can’t use it "

October 25, 2019

5.0

I love Maxbulk Mailer. It produces great results results when i use it to email promotions to my client base of 10,000. Far superior to social media Facebook etc

Pros

It enables me to reach my customers to drive sales with promotion far better than social media

Cons

My email provider will not let me use your software to send large #’s of emails to my customers (10,000). They limit me to a few hundred.

Alternatives considered

[Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/)

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

More cost effective. Easier to understand hiw to use it. I had a lot if tine invested in similar app. It works well with my database of customers. Unfortunately I can no longer use it as my email provider limits my mail outs to under 200 per day. Is there an alternative?

### "Versatile Email Tool"

November 5, 2019

5.0

Pros

I have been able to structure campaigns and customer management processes for many clients using MaxBulk Mailer. If you have the technical chops to manage all the pieces, you have a very flexible platform that I have recommended many times. Scheduling and throttling are particularly useful.

Cons

You do need some technical skills to get things running and to take advantage of all the features.

### " Australian MaxBulk Mailer review"

October 25, 2019

4.0

I actually find MaxBulk Mailer a lot of fun to use - an enjoyable experience it’s very simple and has an ‘engaging’ design Even the little ‘megaphone’ logo that sits on my Apple computer’s dock is unique I used an earlier version years ago and was impressed then. Then about three months ago needed to do some more mass mail outs, and looked at what was available in terms of supporting software / systems, but came back to MaxBulk Mailer Really like the user interface It just works!! Great product!!

Pros

Simple and easy to use No bugs Very reasonable pricing When I want to try something different MaxBulk Mailer handles it I just think it’s a fantastic product!!!

Cons

Honestly I can’t think of much Nothing really

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

As noted above I did look at other products but MaxBulk Mailer it was very competitively priced and just seemed different to the others (in a positive way!)

I am a freelancer and I send out mailing 4 times a year. About 6,000 emails and MaBulk Mailer works fantastic for my needs. I have gotten several compliments about my mailings as well a few inquiries about how I do it. (MaBulk Mailer)

Pros

The price, the ease of use but mostly the results I get.

Cons

I would like to see a series video tutorials. So I can improve my skills.

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

Price and it's simple, easy and effective!

October 31, 2019

4.0

Pros

I love the workflow of the product... How easy it is to create HTML/Text-based emails with dynamic content, set up recipient lists, server settings and receive mail out feedback.

Cons

I feel that the interface is dated and not as intuitive as it could be in this day and age.

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

I did a lot of research and weighed price vs. functionality... I found MaxBulk Mailer to be the best bang for the buck.

### "The best solution I found for a small interest-group mailing list"

October 31, 2019

4.0

I run a small (ca 500 subscribers) mailing list for scientists intereted in research on social insects, so I wanted a software solution that would allow me to manage my subscriber list, create mail messages using templates, and integrate with a reputable SMTP provider to distribute the approximately monthly information mails that I send out. MaxBulk Mailer did all this on the Mac platform. I switched to the software about 5 years ago, having previously used "Intellimerge", which was discontinued. MaxBulk Mailer is a much more capable program, and I know that I am only using a fraction of its capabilities, but it suits my needs at a reasonable price.

Pros

Stability, Integration with SMTP mail services, simple templates, effective subscriber management.

Cons

The program must be re-launched to effectively create a new message.

### "It works!"

October 25, 2019

5.0

Pros

I've used Max Bulk for a number if years and it simply gets through to people. I prefer the text only version, as I think it cuts through better as a personal email, which assists response

Cons

The interface is a bit clunky and aged, but it's not a problem

### "An essential bit of kit"

October 25, 2019

4.0

We use it for our company and product email updates. Even just for emailing all the staff.

Pros

The features list is pretty insane and it's as easy to send a mail to 5,000 as it is with thunderbird to send to one.

Cons

The updates process coupled with the nagware when an update is due is a little annoying.

### "Stopped using Maxbulk Mailer"

October 31, 2019

3.0

Pros

Fairly easy to use in sending simple bulk emails. However, I am now using Direct Mail (see "cons", below).

Cons

1) MB Mailer did not work well with my home internet provider (Cox Communications). I had to tether computer to my phone to send emails. 2) Mailing lists did not sync across computers. This made it difficult to manage mailings. 3) Unable to maintain mailing lists to which people could subscribe or unsubscribe.

### "A great product but hard to use"

October 31, 2019

4.0

Pros

It has a good resources and good price level.

Cons

User needs to make too much configurations to make it works, specially to make the important resources to work, such as the reports. Nowadays people need information not just send emails, thus the reports are quite important, on the other hand the system demands you to have a server and make difficult set ups. I have personally already contacted your support and suggested you to rearrange this set up in your system so it can send by mail the reports, moreover if the output file is to large (above X mb) your system can automatically split it into 2 or 3 emails. The email can be set to be sent automatically by your system. This way you demand less work from your client! You deliver value to them!

October 26, 2019

Pros

We send out weekly emails to our customer base using our own htlm pages created our website. Max bulk mailer does exactly what we need it to without any hassles. I like the speed with which emails go out through our Exchange server and the duplicate checking when importing our email lists.

Cons

I would like an option to directly import Excel files.

October 25, 2019

4.0

Pros

I haven't used it as much recently, but this was invaluable software to me a few years ago when everyone else was using Outlook for mail merges and that didn't work well on a Mac.

Cons

Sometimes I needed to send multiple user-specific attachments and I'm not sure if there was a way to do that. Maybe there was but I just didn't know about it.

Pros

Before switching to gmail I used MaxBulk Mailer a couple of times a week to send 3,000 or more emails or newsletters.

Cons

I tried and tried but never got MaxMailer to work with gmail and ended up purchasing Gmass, a. Mail plugin to handle our mailings. Not even close to MaxBulkMailer functionality but it works.

Cons

The challenging part was to set up the server authentication.

### "An excellent mailing program"

October 25, 2019

5.0

The learning curve for MaxBulk Mailer is pretty easy. And if you encounter something you need help with, the tech support is superb!

Pros

My background is largely with page makeup / desktop publishing programs like InDesign so I'm somewhat critical of other programs that call on some of the same talents. And MaxBulk Mailer is the only bulk mail program I have ever used. From the beginning I have found it easy to set up and to use.

Cons

There are some aspects of it that I wish were a little closer to doing the way they can be done in InDesign. But keep in mind that I am talking about desktop publishing functions.

November 8, 2019

I do not use this program more than a couple times a year, depending on targeting campaigns. It works for my needs, but I'm certainly not a frequent or power user.

Pros

It verifies email addresses prior to sending a bulk campaign

Cons

I found the interface and menu structure a little difficult to manage.

Pros

There is nothing to like about this software. Zero. Nada. I was contemplating suing MBM for intentional infliction of emotional distress.

Cons

Least user friendly software ever; terrible tech “support”

Reason for choosing MaxBulk Mailer

God only knows. It must have been a bad day.
