We are already in January, the last month that the AEPD gave for us to regularize the situation of our databases
After the cancellation of the Safe Harbor agreement by which the US was left out and therefore email marketing companies such as mailchimp among others, the biggest concern is, where do I change?
What happens because of this, simply that any company that has its servers and databases outside the European Union is of no use to us because it would not comply with said agreement, luckily the data protection policy in Spain is very high.
This situation has made me think of several alternatives:
- Remove newsletters
- Wait with Mailchimp to see if it was solved
- Find another mailing service provider CORRECT
In the end, after doing the math, I decided to get my act together and look for another email marketing provider. In the end, I decided on Mailrelay for several reasons:
The interface is simple and quite modern.
It is always a point in favor to find a simple control panel and if its interface is intuitive and in Spanish you have succeeded.
The new interface is very well endowed with very important services for professionals and also for small blogs that need things clear and simple.
- simple html editor
- Subscriber Filter
- advanced statistics
- Leave management
- development API
- scheduled delivery
- Certification through certifying entities
- Sending via SMTP (you will notice it in the opening rate, you will not fall for spam!)
Mailrelay evolves day by day
It is important when a change is made for the better, one of the factors that has made me decide is the evolution and the incorporation of new features to the services they provide.
It is a company that has a strong presence in the RRSS, so they are in continuous contact with the client and know their needs first-hand.
The most popular ESP (Email Service Provider) in Spain.
Looking on the internet I have discovered that it is one of the preferred professional mail marketing services in Spain.
It helps a lot to have the servers in the European Union
. When something has such a good press, is it not for a reason?
It is scalable and adaptable to any type of project.
Something very important when deciding on a price plan, its price ranges and the possibility of buying bonuses for “extra” campaigns, make it adapt to your needs even if they are punctual.
The price plans are made up of more staggered sections, which makes savings important.
Technical service and customer service.
This point is the most important of any service that you can hire, a quality technical service committed to its customers is something that is priceless when one day you need it.
You also have a You tube channel and many manuals to be able to configure your mailing list without problems, the jewel in the crown is the detailed manuals in which all the help is documented:
· Mailrelay Manuals
· Mailrelay YouTube channel.

You can migrate your contact lists as indicated in this article in a few steps and without problems: Transfer contacts to Mailrelay from Mail Chimp
