WEBMGRS Digest for Thursday, June 09, 2011. 1. Re: How to email newsletters via a listserv
---------------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: Re: How to email newsletters via a listserv From: Ann MacKay <ann.mac...@gmail.com> Date: Wed, 8 Jun 2011 19:04:12 -0400 X-Message-Number: 1 I am using the free Mailchimp for another organization for over a year. I like the ability to track who opens the email. I imported the names from my membership list. Here is some of the information from the website. The Forever Free Plan Store up to 2,000 subscribers. Send up to 12,000 emails per month. No expiring trials. No contracts. No credit card required. You can only import lists of people who sign up at your website. No 3rd party lists, no prospects, no lists that you scraped from websites, no chambers of commerce lists, etc. There are templates to use that can be modified. I know some branches and states do a nice desktop layout newsletter that is several pages. This is not the type of newsletter you use for email. When I did our branch newsletter, I started with the print version that was converted to a PDF. I found that. It was very time consuming making it pretty in page layout software, converting it to PDF, shrinking it because it was too big for send by email. After having problems with members having outdated Adobe readers, I figured there had to be a better way. The branch now use mynewsletter.com for the monthly newsletter.
