Anyone have any suggestions? We will be migrating our website to Drupal "soon", and I would think that some sort of integrated email marketing tool with metrics functionality would be of particular use here. Thoughts about that would also be helpful. Thanks! **** I am looking to switch our service, for the primary reason that I am concerned that our db has grown "stale".. we are still using the tools I set in place five years ago, and I am worried that there may be those who are not getting mail just cuz the app, known address format are OLD, etc... Also, I want a better look-and-feel and an easier back-end user interface to hand all this over to Faith, with an eye on her doing reports of opens and clicks, users and interests, etc. There's actually a lot of functionality, in terms of tracking with Topica and I do not want to lose that moving forward (not being leveraged well enough now). can you please blast a question to your peeps, about bulk email services and tools with an eye on metrics and reports? Also, I want to start list sharing with other local and national orgs. to build the list. Anything you can get re: issues and case scenarios'd be greatly appreciated. **** Perian Sully Collections Information Manager Web Programs Strategist The Magnes Berkeley, CA _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/pipermail/mcn-l/ _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to mcn-l, the listserv of the Museum Computer Network (http://www.mcn.edu) To post to this list, send messages to: mcn-l at mcn.edu To unsubscribe or change mcn-l delivery options visit: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/mailman/listinfo/mcn-l The MCN-L archives can be found at: http://toronto.mediatrope.com/pipermail/mcn-l/ ***************************************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
