sizes. At a rate of five cents per email, companies can maintain relationships with
their loyal customers and inform them of new products and services for much less
than the traditional costs of print advertising.

"ennectMail is a practical marketing solution that doesn't break our budget," said
Wallace. "For the money spent on one print advertisement, I can send thousands of
emails that are guaranteed to reach our customers."
