[MCN-L] Looking for a New Webblast/Email/Metrics Service

[TAMSEN SCHWARTZMAN]

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.

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.

>From our Development Director. Anyone have any suggestions? We will 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.

I am not fond of Constant Contact, but it is true, at least, that it
meant that we could create some simple templates and have none
technical staff prepare mailings without any further support from web
staff.

I don't know of tools that integrate with Drupal, per se, other than
CiviCRM--and I'm not sure that's good enough on the non-technical user
side for what you describe.

If you're migrating to Drupal, I'd suggest looking at CiviCRM
 as it integrates nicely with Drupal. Sugar CRM
 might be another possibility.
