Web site update
Conversion to Constant Contact is progressing well.
- I just removed 270 bad emails by clicking one button. That takes us from over 900 to a little less than 700. Impressive size, but we still have the problem that only about 200 of them are opened. CC has a very cool graph page that shows all kinds of statistics on what happens to our emails once they’re sent.
- Our database now resides on the CC servers, and I’ve added a box on the right hand side of the web site to facilitate joining our email list.
- I have changed the Register link on the web site to point to the CC invitation, instead of going to the old registration process on our web site. We can now see who’s registered, whether they’ve paid, and how they paid, in one place.
- I added a link for the SAS User Group.
Of course, I’m partial to the CC process, since I pushed us to go that direction, and the more I use it, the more I like it. I think I’m pretty much done with it, and I hope everyone else agrees that it was a good move.
The total cost is $45/month, but once I get the email list down below 500, we’ll save $15/month. There’s no point in having 700 emails sitting around if only 200 are ever opened. CC has a tool for asking people to “opt in” to our email list. Once I implement that though, we may lose some of the 200 that do open their emails. But, that’s the only way I see to get the list pared down to those who really want the emails.
