Simple, powerful features
The Contact Manager has been built with our customers in mind. We believe that you shouldn't have to be an Internet expert to communicate professionally and efficiently with your business contacts.

The Contact Manager is user friendly and intuitive allowing you to communicate effectively and efficiently with all of your contacts using our simple tool.


Build your business automatically
The auto responder system included in the Contact Manager allows you to send hundreds of email and SMS messages out every day automatically. You can concentrate on running your business while the Contact Manager automatically sends personalised professional messages promoting your business.

Automated personalised SMS messaging
The Contact Manager includes automated, personalised SMS messaging capability. This means you can automatically respond to the enquiries from your website or advertising campaign by SMS text message within minutes. Each text message we send appears to come from your mobile number allowing the contact to respond by text or call you direct.

Official data shows that Britons send over 1 billion text messages per week * and there are more mobile telephones in the UK than people! SMS text messaging is becoming an essential part of any marketing campaign.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an auto responder?
An auto responder is a tool that can be used to automatically send follow up messages to your contacts over a specified period of time. The Contact Manager includes an auto responder feature. For example, if someone responded to your advertising your auto responder could be set up to automatically send an instant follow up email, then an SMS follow up an hour later. Followed by another email after 3 days and one more after a week. Your auto responder can be set up exactly as you like it and there are many advanced features available.
What is a broadcast?
A broadcast is a feature of our Contact Manager. A broadcast can be used to send a message to multiple contacts at the same time. The message can be sent by email or SMS text message. For example, you could send every one of your contacts an email or SMS about a new promotion or special offer.
What is the most popular level of subscription for the Contact Manager?
The Standard subscription is the most widely used and includes most features of the Contact Manager. This subscription is recommended for most users.
I have more than one Big Advertising campaign / website, do I need a Contact Manager subscription for each?
No, you can have as many websites and advertising campaigns as you like - you'll only ever need one Contact Manager subscription.
Can people opt out of receiving messages from me?
Yes, a contact can opt out at any time by clicking a link printed at the bottom of each email we send on your behalf. The contact also has other options for changing their contact preferences.
What happens if people accuse me of sending spam?
The Contact Manager has been built to be compliant with all national and international anti-spam laws and legislation. All contacts added to your Contact Manager must 'opt in' by completing a form or clicking a confirmation link an email before you can send them any messages through your Contact Manager. Contacts are given every opportunity to stop messages from you at anytime. However, if you are accused of sending spam and a complaint is made we will work with you closely to resolve the issue.
