[MCN-L] Looking for a New Webblast/Email/Metrics Service
From our Development Director. 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.

We use Patron Mail and have found it to be adequate. We are getting good results with a monthly newsletter and judicious targeted event-related e-blasts. -Original Message- From: mcn-l-bounces at mcn.edu [mailto:mcn-l-boun...@mcn.edu] On Behalf Of Frank E.

We use Patron Mail and are extremely happy with it. Lots of boxed styles, but they'll customize something for you too. They have developed a Facebook app and are looking to develop an integrated list management for arts organizations (that combines mailing list, donor list, lendor list) all in one place. They have been talking with CMS companies like Gallery Systems to get it right. They also provide lots of marketing webinars that are really helpful.
