Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Newsletter platforms

[Cheron Dudley (cherondudley]

Quimper Village newsletter team uses the free version of MailChimp.
It allows up to 2000 mail recipients and 2 admins.
It’s been fine for us for 65+ issues and still going strong.
Our newsletter (and FB) are the only tools we use to advertise a home for
sale and, so, we don’t keep a “waiting list” for potential newcomers.
