"Real-time tracking and reporting functions help a great deal in optimizing our e-mail marketing strategy, and the interface is by far the most intuitive and user friendly of all the packages on the market." "Plow & Hearth is a very customer focused company," said Jennifer McCray, Internet publisher at Plow & Hearth, (www.plowhearth.com), one of the premier catalogs for products for country living.
