<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We would like to begin sending out e-Newsletters and weekly program updates to our patrons. We are looking for a low to no-cost service to help us make user-friendly and professional looking bulk e-mails. neither my staff not I are very
familiar with companies that offer these services, but came across this service from Vertical Response (<a href="http://www.verticalresponse.com/non-profits">http://www.verticalresponse.com/non-profits</a>) for non-profits, offering free e-mailing services
for up to 10,000 emails per month for non-profits. I wanted to know if other libraries have used this service, and if so, what is your opinion of it? <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Or what other services do you use? What you like/dislike about those? And how much do they cost? Note: I received pricing for Book News from DearReader.com, but it was more than I’d like to spend on such a service.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any information would be greatly appreciated!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
