You asked about email marketing software... Whenever contemplating ANY computer-techno-related question, again I always look over on TeshSoup -- sure enough they've got a lot of discussions about email campaign software. Here are two threads that I liked:
A Few Good Broadcast Email Tools http://www.techsoup.org/learningcenter/internet/page5935.cfm ConstantContact vs Vertical response http://forums.techsoup.org/cs/forums/t/29166.aspx ....and then here is some more of my thoughts/comments About Vertical Response... We really like Vertical Response. Not only is it FREE! (no strings attached free), I'm also happy with the great customer service. We have had a couple minor (but frustrating) issues with importing our existing database and I talked with their customer service on the phone (a real live person) and they were fantastic about working through the steps and the problem. Non-profit accounts get 10,000 free emails each month. Currently we've got about 2,000 email addresses total thus far in our database. We are starting to get in the habit of asking our visitors if they'd like to join our mailing list and so that number is growing (rather rapidly) but still we're not too worried about maxing out our fee monthly allotment Like most programs, you can also create segmented lists, and/or target only specific folks. For example we have a "other Chicago area museum folks" list -- so theoretically I could include you in our fund-raising event emails, but not in our mailings where we announce our super-secret plot to over-though (whomever). or invade (wherever). ....and like most email tools, creating the actual email is fairly easy (WYSIWYG - "What You See Is What You Get") and they have lots of templates for those graphically challenged folks And lastly where do you sign up you ask? Registering is easy follow the directions on the link below.... http://www.verticalresponse.com/non-profits/ - David - David Lewis -----Original Message----- From: Gordy, John <j-go...@nga.gov> To: mcn-l <mcn-l@mcn.edu> Sent: Wed, Feb 22, 2017 12:49 pm Subject: [MCN-L] email marketing software Hi MCNers Happy 50th Birthday!
