Creating an e-news letter for parents

August 31, 2009 in technology with View Comments

We finally gave in and started to send out a monthly parent email using constant contact to all the parents in our student ministry.  I was really amazed how easy it really was to create the email using the online editor.  It took me several hours because I was creating custom graphics, however it should be very simple next time because all the emails will be there and I will only have minor changes to make with the graphics. Consider using tools like constant contact when you want to include graphics and pictures in emails and don’t have the time to do it from scratch.

    The one thing I want to recommend is using MailChimp instead of ConstantContact. MailChimp is just way better over all. For lack of a better term, it's totally “web 2.0″ and it works great. Not to mention it has better rates than the competition. Try out a free account today, you'll love it!

    Back on topic, I'd love to see my church use this for all of their different ministries. It even saved tons of time and resources since people don't have to print and hand out fliers anymore. Yay email!
