Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
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.

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
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.

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
We at The Museum of Modern Art recently switched to Campaign Monitor. So far, we like it - which really says a lot! It is easy to use and has direct integrations to our CRM in Salesforce. We were able to migrate emails off our previous platform and get up and running quite quickly on Campaign Monitor. Feel free to reach out if you need more info. Good luck.

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
Have a look at GetResponse. We’re loving it at the Cultural Alliance of Fairfield County.

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.

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
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?

Re: [MCN-L] email marketing software
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. ta Mike _ Mike Ellis Thirty8 Digital: a small but perfectly formed digital agency http://thirty8.co.uk ** NEW: http://wpformuseums.com for people using WordPress in museums ** ** Workshops, courses and free downloads: http://trainingdigital.co.uk ** On 23 Feb 2017, 00:26 +, Heather Hart , wrote: > Hi John, > > I don't love mine and am doing some active review on alternatives if you want > to touch base some time.
