What it is: Web-based software for sending bulk e-mail blasts.

What's cool: You can import a list of contacts with the help of an online tutorial, customize one of 200 design templates, add your content and click Send. Constant Contact offers a 60-day free trial and a monthly newsletter with tips.

Drawback: Though you can add your own images and change colors, the templates are pretty basic.

Price: Ranges from $15 per month for unlimited e-mail blasts to 500 addresses to $150 for 25,000 addresses. Pricing is custom for larger lists.
