We've been building powerful online tools for over ten years, including custom versions of this online marketing service that have been used by business and education clients. The services are now economically packaged for use by any organization with a website.
The System:
First: Spider offers a comprehensive set of Collection Tools that can be embedded in any website. Data entered by visitors or staff are stored in a private online database. Staff may securely login to view. sort, and edit the data.
Second: Spider offers a powerful set of Report Tools for working with the visitor data. Subscribers may download strings of email addresses to paste into mailings, or grab online tables of visitor data for offline desktop use.
Third: Subscribers have a powerful Bulk Mailer for sending multiple emails, rather than downloading and using desktop tools. When operating in this compliant mode an "opt-out" response is automatically noted in the database.
Fourth: Email management has never been easier. The Records Manager shows the result of each email event. Staff see bounces and opt-outs in a layout for quick editing and handling. Mark them for further research. Delete them. Change keywords to place customers into other mailings.
Fifth: Spider provides Compliant Email handling that meets the demands of the CANSPAM law while still making the best use of friendly emailing techniques. The system sends Automatic Email and Manual Email. Visitors may get automatic email notice of events, sales, or the publication of a book in their favorite category.

Spider's Approach:
The Collection Tools can be inserted into any website, whether on a Spider server or not. Spider clients can do it themselves using the Spider Content Manager; others will need to know the basics of HTML editing, or in every case, a Spider could do the setup for you. Just call or email us.
