As a full-service marketing agency, one of my deliverables is providing maillists for my clients, both in a newsletter format and a news/announcement/text format. I was one of the very early subscribers to Dada Mail, more than 15 years ago, if memory serves. I bought a “lifetime” subscription and have installed the program on dozens of sites over the years. My oldest version, still functioning, is 3.3 and I recall updating that one, so best guess is that I owned one of the very first versions.

My preferred method of delivery is to create a responsive web page for the content. For some clients, I have set up an admin back end so they can fill in the content within the framework. For others, I write the content. Once the page is uploaded to server, I (or client) use the “Send a web page” feature in Dada for a clean, easy delivery. The web page is then included in a listing on the client’s website for future review by new visitors.

Over the years, I’ve watched as Dada has grown and grown. The features are very impressive. I really appreciate the database component for the listeroos. Either I didn’t know how to do the mysql feature in the beginning, or it was a later add-on, but I take full advantage of it now and it is a lifesaver for managing the list.

I have run into a few things that were a puzzle, especially when a new version came out, but Justin has always been patient with me and responds immediately.

I have recommended Dada to all my colleagues, on several lists. I am 100% satisfied not only with the program, but with the extreme level of personal customer support when something eludes me.

Thanks, Justin, for your product and for your support.

We’ve been using Dada Mail for several years now to keep our orienteering club members informed about events and other news. For about five years now, Dada Mail has worked flawlessly for us without requiring support. The feature set is robust and meets our modest requirements, yet the product is clearly scalable as our organization membership continues to grow. It integrates well with our Joomla installation and looks nice on our website.

Service from Justin at Dada Mail is superb! He is very responsive. The website is often updated with news and important information about the product. The documentation is clear and easy to read. Sometimes, I watch the videos and read the documentation to make sure that I haven’t missed anything and am using the product to its fullest capacity for our requirements.

I began writing the newsletters for the Texas State Archery Association in around 1999, transitioning the TSAA from paper & snail mail to electronic emailing, and creating our website at the same time, texasarchery.org . I had to design and maintain a custom relational database of subscribers by hand to support that newsletter function.
So finding Dada Mail, a specific software designed to do all the hard work, a few years ago after searching and trying a variety of similar ‘wares was just incredible to me. The feature set was (and is) just huge! Dada Mail has a *lot* of useful features we can grow with, and I rest easier knowing we are fully compliant with the rules and regs for emailing newsletters. You do not want to expose your non-profit organization to “problems” and Dada Mail covers this base for us quite well.
I’ve done both the install myself, and then also paid the Pro fee for upgrades and things like optimizing sending via Amazon SES. Justin is fast and efficient, and the relief to me in having him “make sure” has been quite a comfort well worth the reasonable fees.
I have to also say that it is almost magic how easy it is to compose, test, and then release newsletters!

Justin is very personable, and a pleasure to work with. It’s hard to say whether the product or customer service is better but very easy to say they both are great.
