Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software

[Tamsen Young]

We have been using PatronManager for 8-9 years. They use Saleforce and just
migrated everyone from their proprietary mail system to MyEmma. Lots of
things I like about PatronManager but MyEmma doesn't have a UI a
particularly like. The email builder is fine, it's the search and
navigation through their pages that is clunky. I fully hope them to improve
over time however.

Best,
Tamsen

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software

[Heather Hart]

Hey Christina, 

To chime in here, I think it really depends on what Mailchimp isn't doing for 
you right now and what your overall landscape looks like. I think Campaign 
Monitor is a great choice if you have a healthy budget and Salesforce 
integration is important to you but it does lack some of the most advanced 
automation features that you would get from an enterprise type system. We are 
working on Mautic but I think it still needs 6-9 months before it's mature 
enough for a casual user. The UI is good but we are still working through a lot 
of bugs. Feel free to give me a call if you want to chat offline.

Since this thread started, MailChimp has started providing automation as part 
of their free plan.

FWIW we’ve therefore now moved back off ConvertKit and into MailChimp - and are 
using https://privy.com/ to do some really nice modal / intention based popups.

Have a look at GetResponse.  We’re loving it at the Cultural Alliance of 
Fairfield County. We went through about four of these systems looking for one 
that handled images and texts flexibly and easily - and this handles lists 
nicely too. 24/7 chat help is very nice too.

Hi,
I have been thinking about this posting on email marketing solutions. We are 
looking to an alternative to MailChimp - we love it, so no knock on the 
company. It doesn't quiet meet our needs right now. 

John and Heather - anything come out of your research that you can pass on? 

Thank you. Christina

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software

[David Lewis]

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

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software

[Mike Ellis]

Hi

We use ConvertKit - it does the automation side of things really well, and IMO 
the interface is much better than others I’ve seen, including MailChimp. Lots 
of integrations with 3rd party systems (“if user does X then do Y”) too. Popup 
nag-forms are easy too, if that’s your bag.
