I am a big fan of 1ShoppingCart and recommend it often as an all-in-one e-marketing program.  However, I recently came across a plug for E-Junkie and decided to look into whether this might be a better solution for my clients.

I love it when one of my peers not only gives a review of a product, but a comparison as well.  The following information is taken from a post written by Kristen Beireis, a Trust Marketing Expert from the Coaches’ Internet Marketing Source.  Here’s what she had to say on the pros and cons of 1SC vs. EJ…

Follow-up with Buyers

• 1ShoppingCart allows a text and HTML delivery of messages and newsletters
• E-junkie only has text.  With an aweber connection on E-junkie, you can follow up using the HTML there.

Autoresponders

• 1ShoppingCart’s autoresponder system allows you to create an e-course or have an autoresponder series set up.  It also allows you to have a form on your website for free products.
• E-junkie does not have this capability.  Again, only with the AWeber connection can this be done.

Affiliate Program

• 1ShoppingCart provides a place to store banners, buttons and promotional materials, and a way to follow-up with affiliate members.
• E-Junkie offers no place to store banners, buttons, promotional materials etc., nor a way to follow-up with affiliate members.  They also do not collect address information, phone number, or a SSN from your affiliates, which is a problem come tax time.

I hope you found this information useful.  I will be adding more tips and info soon.
