Scottsdale, Ariz. - September 8, 2003 - Best Software today announced that more than 750 customers have purchased High Impact eMail for ACT! ® as a result of the company's recent partnership with KMT Software. High Impact eMail is one of 170 products offered through the ACT! Add-on Partner Program to both individuals and small businesses wanting to maximize their productivity with ACT!. Designed to enhance the current email marketing tools within ACT!, High Impact eMail for ACT! allows individuals and small businesses to easily create and send graphical, HTML-based emails to individuals, as well as current and prospective customers.

High Impact eMail for ACT! offers a collection of more than 400 professionally designed HTML e-mail templates that work with ACT! 6.0 e-mail, as well as Microsoft Outlook for organizations using both solutions. Unlike with Outlook, users with High Impact eMail and ACT! 6.0 can use ACT!'s mail merge feature to easily send personalized HTML emails to ACT! contacts or lists using a wizard, without using the generic blind carbon copy (BCC) field.

Boston-based Legal Sea Foods uses ACT! and High Impact eMail for ACT! to communicate with more than 3,000 VIP customers up and down the East Coast to invite them to special VIP dinners.

"Until High Impact eMail, I simply added a logo or signature to my email to make it look interesting, but this often led to large files or added attachments," said Dick Syatt, director of guest relations for Legal Sea Foods. "In the short time I have been using High Impact eMail, I have impressed our guests with great looking invitations, professional stationery and special effects that they found very unique. This personal approach to customer service has increased response to our VIP dinners and we were recently awarded Zagat's 'Most Popular Restaurant Award' in the Boston area."

While e-mails composed with High Impact eMail are rich in color and design, their file size minimized to an average size of 3-5Kb because all of the images are referenced, not attached or embedded into the HTML. Customers can also use High Impact's ReadyShareTM feature to upload images to the Web and create compatible, graphical e-mail. By referencing images and using HTML designs that are included with High Impact eMail, users are guaranteed compatibility with virtually every email client including Web-based mail, AOL (6, 7, 8 and 9), Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Entourage, Netscape Mail and Lotus Notes.

Another easy-to-use feature is a template browser for finding, previewing, and selecting templates, which are broken down into categories such as advertisements, picture frames, designer stationery, resumes, greeting cards, etc. Users can also select any graphical stationery design or template as their default within ACT! so that each e-mail can incorporate their company logo, colors, font, or even a personal photo.

Availability and Pricing
Best Software is currently offering High Impact eMail for $49.95, including free newsletter templates and a marketing eBook valued at $60. For new users, there is also a bundle of ACT! 6.0 for 2004 and High Impact eMail for $254.90, which provides a $25 discount over purchasing the products separately.
