These statistics include: how many emails were sent, how many emails were opened, how many emails bounced back and more. The statistics are presented in richly formatted reports containing relevant charts.

Do I want a one off mail shot or a regular mail shot?

Do I want my email to be plain text or richly formatted HTML?

Do I want to email 100,000 people or just a subset of that number?

Is online tracking/reporting important to me? (This will impact considerably on cost).
