SMTP is an independent service provider focused exclusively on the execution of email delivery for applications in marketing and the enterprise requiring bulk email or high volume transactional delivery. Founded 12 years ago, the firm services worldwide customers ranging from small businesses to large Fortune 500 companies.
The proliferation of email as a low cost, ubiquitous communications channel has given rise to the growth of spam, blacklisting, bounces, blocked IPs, firewalls, email filtering, etc. As a result, legitimate traffic can easily be flagged as illegitimate, regardless of how well the sender adheres to best practices for creative design, list management and accreditation.
With the continued increase in technical obstacles, business users demand greater reliability in delivery, fewer disruptions, and improved reporting metrics. The result is an ever-increasing strain on marketing operations and IT cost structures to keep up with the demand.
SMTP provides a solution that eliminates the hassles and lowers costs to produce a higher-yielding level of service to the business user.
"We continue to experience healthy growth of both top line revenues and net income. The SMTP brand, combined with our focus on improving email delivery success through expert support, has again proven to be a winning formula for customer retention. During the quarter, we added to our value proposition with new support programs that offer a higher level of personalized service and attention to our larger customer segment, who benefit from a significantly improved customer experience."
