Hi Ann,
Thanks for the great information! Have you used goldmail? If so I’d like your opinion. It’s free to nonprofits for one year: http://www.goldmail.com/
Thanks,
Pat Miller
Pat,
I haven’t tried GoldMail – but I was just testing a similar service with a colleague. I think it would worth trying. I like the idea – so long as folks can opt out and/or decide when to hear the message versus auto-play options.
I’ll have to look into GoldMail – thanks for the heads up!! Ann
