Please provide more info on Marketing Package features in Version 6
Dear Kentico Team,

Please let me know more about the new Marekting Package. You have listed the following features for version 6:

New On-line Marketing Package
• Contact management
• Campaign Management
• Improved web analytics
• A/B and Multivariate Testing
• Segmentation
• Lead scoring
• Personalization
• E-mail marketing

Please let me know about the following:

- maximum number of recipients per email (currently you only offer 1000). This is not useful for many companies - we have 15,000 members and aim to grow this base.
- Mail merge option within subject lines
- Mail merge option within content
- Spam filter and compliance checker
- Auto Bounce Back management
- Ability to schedule multiple campaigns in the future
- Reports (Opens, click-throughs, conversion rate, span scores, GEO map, click overlay, ROI conversion, email domain performance
- User friendly and training guide
- RSS to email
- Sync with Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin
- Google Analytics
- Multiple list management

We would like this information ASAP as it will determine what direction we go in. Use an alternative 3rd party provider who specialises in email software or the Kentico Marketing Package.

Thanks and regards,

Branca

Hi Branca,
