| Post subject: | Newsletters for numpties |
I work part time for a company that really needs to rely on more than word of mouth from now on, given the economic apocalypse. One of the things I think that would benefit them is a proper email newsletter, but I've not needed to set one of these up before, and I'm wondering what the best way to go about it is. I assume from the amount of companies that must need such a thing that there are some straightforward ways to set up and run one, but so far I've only found one site that has anything promising, and even that seems like a bit of a faff. It'd be a probably somewhat infrequent newsletter, sent to perhaps a few hundred at most. We have a new website at long pissing last (though I don't have direct control over it, so sorting out any sub-up page would probably take around 300 times as long as it should), so I figure now's a good time to start drawing attention to it, as the last one was such an embarassment I felt that linking to it was just a waste of time. What would you fine folk recommend? |

Constant Contact are good, or alternatively I can set up an account on my e-mail marketing system (all written by myself) for only £145 a year. If you want more details, PM me. //edit: It's a web-based system as well so can be used on any computer. |

I've only really used PHPList if you fancy a rough & ready, but free way of doing it. If it's only smaller numbers, you could always fire it off from your email client and BCC the recipients instead. |

Colour me interested as well. Something cheap (free - Ed), simple and easy to use. Windows is fine but a Mac version would give me a warm glow inside as if I'd just wet myself. |

MailChimp are reasonably cheap and hyper-good at this sort of thing. They are the emailing company on the Internet, apparently. Free trial, etc. http://www.mailchimp.com/ If I didn't do all our emailing in-house (20 million so far this year, folks, who wants to punch me?) that's who I'd use. |
