GetResponse is an email marketing and an online tool/platform for campaign management. It is similar to Aweber in some ways but has it’s own unique set of benefits.

This email marketing platform/app allows businesses and entrepreneurs to build a targeted subscriber list.

With the created mailing list,businesses are able to create and send high-impact newsletters,follow-up campaigns,and video emails. With the autoresponders features,GetResponse enables you to automate your particular emails to subscribers. Moreover,you are also able to view and analyze different statistics such as click through and open rate which is related to an email marketing campaign.

A present,the features of GetResponse have evolved considerably and for that reason,the tool is now an all-in-one marketing solution. Apart from email marketing,this marketing tool also provides some customer relationship management,landing pages,and web hosting functionality.

2. Landing Pages: Only the Pro plan and higher provides this feature allowing not only split testing but also unlimited views.
3. Webinars: The Email plan does not have this functionality and the number of participants in a webinar is limited both for Pro and Max plans at 100 and 500 respectively. The Enterprise plan webinars attendees limit is not clear.

In conclusion,apart from the GetResponse having a comprehensive list of features,you would expect an email marketing tool/platform to have,you can also benefit from the substantial discount offered for a 1 or 2 years advance payment of service. Moreover,though other competing tools like Mailchimp may offer free accounts for those with a subscribers number that is small,often the range of features available is limited,unlike when on a paid plan.

Another email auto responder to consider which I mentioned briefly at the beginning of this post and that is in direct competition with GetResponse is Aweber.- Aweber deserves it’s own write up. Whichever software or application you choose,you can be sure that you will have many features to work with. All autoresponders have their own unique benefits so you will have to weigh the pros and cons of each one.

There are many vital issues to consider before making any kind of land or property aquisition,and environmental pollution plays a big part. In the very worst scenario,environmental land pollution presents hazards,to users and or residents of the land. This is one of the reasons environmental risk checks are such an important aspect of due diligence for any land or property aquisition.

Types of environmental contamination

There are many different kinds of environmental pollutants that can cause dangers to land users. Very often these are connected with previous industrial use of land,although this is not always true as natural pollutants do also exist.

There are many types of contaminants,these contaminants can include dust or gas pollutants that can be inhaled or contamination in soils which can be transmitted to foods grown on the land as well as grazing animals. Such contamination could also impact anyone working on the land.

Indirect contaminants can also damage property or leach out of the soil due to effects of groundwater or any river,stream or pond in the vicinity. Some of these contaminants are corrosive or could even cause fires or explosions.

Examples of contaminants include:

– Lead or other heavy metals such as cadmium or arsenic
– Tar and oil
– Asbestos
– Radioactive materials
– Chemical substances and solvents
– Gas

You can find out more about contaminated land on the UK government website.

What isthe definition ofcontaminated land?

If you want more information on contaminated land or read technical guides on managing special sites on the website run by the Environment Agency.

The legal definition of ‘contaminated land’ relates to land containing substances which can cause:

– Very significant damage to property,people or protected species
– Harm due to radioactivity
– Pollution to surface waters,such as lakes or rivers,or groundwater

Some of the reasons for land contamination are when it has been previously used as:

– Factories
– For mining
– Steel milling
– Refining
– Landfill sites

Contaminated land can also fall into a ‘special sites’ category. These sites could:

– Cause serious effects to any drinking water,or surface or groundwater
– Previously have been used for activities like oil refining or the manufacture of explosives
– Have previously been regulated under permits relating to integrated pollution controls or prevention
– Previously have been used for disposal of acid tars
– Have been occupied or owned by the MOD
– Previously been used in connection with the nuclear industry or be contaminated with radioactivity

What about brownfield sites?

Most recent Governments want to bring what’s termed brownfield land back into use so that rural land can be preserved. This land regeneration often causes concerns,however. Most larger towns and cities contain areas and sites that are disused and due to demand,development of these brownfield sites and derelict buildings are increasingly common.

In the past minimal regulations were in place to check on the re-use of brownfield sites or any potential environmental hazards thus presented. Now however,things are very different,but it has to be said most brownfield site developments are perfectly safe for residential use. But saying that,selling houses in these areas can present some conveyancing problems,though.

If you have any concerns about environmental contamination which could impact on your property purchase,give the experts at a call to discuss your worries.
