I used to worked in a e-learning business where we used MailChimp with about 80,000 subscribers on about 3 lists.

The price range for this size of list is too high in my opinion - speaking as one of your target customers. If I were to suggest using your service to my boss he would have laughed in my face. If I recall correctly we were spending about $400/month on MailChimp, so we'd need to spend 50% of the original service for Mailion?

Just some feedback, you might want to revisit pricing scheme.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Apart from the pricing, what do you think of the value proposition?

It's kind of a catch 22.

I was the tech guy so I would import the CSV files to MailChimp.

If it came to actually edit records, our secretary-type would open up Excel, edit, then send it to me as a CSV. I'd then just re-upload and tell MailChimp to update changed records, and ignore duplicates.

If you made the site show that it's Excel editing in real-time that would be more convincing and less intimidating to the Secretary-type.

Thanks, that's very valuable to know. Mailion does, in fact, do real-time updates. Here's a screenshot:

If you could refer the app to anyone you know who might need it, I'd be very grateful. Thanks!
