Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Newsletter platforms

[Linda Hobbet (coho]

Our website is on Weebly, which has a similar email integration. We are 
looking into it. With a recent mention in the AARP magazine, our contact 
list has shot up to well over 2000. We are trying to trim it by 
unsubscribing people who haven't opened it in a long time, but we are 
unsure about the segmentation they provide for looking at inactive 
contacts. When we ran an inquiry on the database, people we know opened 
the newsletter recently showed up as inactive.
