Newsletter Mailing

Post by nking »

Just thought I would ask if anyone might be able to suggest a simple option for maintaining a customer mailing list. I was using enewsletter which was simple and did what I needed but it's no longer working and the author has stopped supporting it.

I just need a simple system which allows customers to subscribe and unsubscribe from a mailing list and to then be able to use this to send out infrequent newsletters. Now I know there are “Pay For” systems which will do this but I'm looking for a free approach. Suggestions on a postcard ;)

I have found that 'MailChimp' is a good way to look after mailing list.

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for this. It looks like it will do for me as I have less than 2,000 subscribers. Anything I need to be aware of/tips.

Regards

Hi there, Not really anything to no, just follow your nose, I found it really easy and could set my own email templates. I am sure you will be fine.

Glad I could help.
