"Campaign Monitor has to be the best thing I've stumbled across on the internet in a long, long time. I was set up and sending a test from your system in less than 1/2 hour, and that included customizing the report page for a customer to review as well. Brilliant!"

Beanstalk is the cleverly named monthly email newsletter for Magic Beans, a Massachusetts based baby gear and toy store.
The email is very nicely designed and a snap to read. Most of the important stuff is text, so the email looks great even with images disabled. Instead of just flat out trying to push their products, the newsletter features engaging stories of interest to their target market.
On top of this, the newsletter includes a few featured products, some great deals and enourages their customers to help spread the word about what they offer.

We didn't quite make your Christmas stockings, but list segmentation is finally here. This has consistently been the most requested feature over the last 12 months, so we're really pleased to get this update out. Now it's a piece of cake to target your emails at specific groups of subscribers based on their custom fields or past campaign behavior.
Below is a screenshot from a sample list where we've created a segment containing the male drummers in our list who have opened a campaign in the past.
We hope you like the approach we took for creating segments, but we'd love your feedback on what we can improve to make it even easier to use.
We've also made some subtle changes around creating custom fields and subscribe forms that make it easy to store and capture extra information on each of your subscribers. We'll go into a little more details about these changes in the next few days. Enjoy.
"This is sooooo good. Simple, beautiful, and without a hitch. We're running a few tests before our first 'live' client mail-out and everything works beautifully."

Today we’re featuring a top notch newsletter for a top notch site. Core77 have been informing and inspiring industrial designers online since 1995.
Their monthly newsletter looks fantastic and does a great job of promoting upcoming events, articles and other highlights from the Core77 site.
This was Core77’s first campaign sent using Campaign Monitor, so it was great to receive their kind words about the experience.

"I just set up an account, added my clients, imported subscribers and set up the subscription form on my web site. Your software is incredibly easy to use and intuitive. I'm very impressed so far."

We were instant fans of this predominantly text-based email newsletter from the Manchester Digital Development Agency.
Right off the bat they clearly explain why the recipient is receiving this email (always a good idea) and give them the opportunity to remove themselves if they’re no longer interested.
The opening paragraph sets expectations about how often they will receive the newsletter and provides quick links to the main stories covered in that issue.
As per our recent design recommendations, the email looks great with images disabled and also makes good use of alt text to improve the chances of images being turned on.

"I am now the #1 fan of Campaign Monitor. I've been sending out email newsletters in various forms for many years, and last Friday was the first time using Campaign Monitor. It's absolutely perfect! So easy, so fast. I can't believe it's taken me this long to find your site and start using your product. We'll be implementing a new newsletter in a few months and we'll use your system for that as well. Great job!"
