Hi everyone,<br><br>I'm going to be sending out (hopefully) an end-of-year appeal very soon, and Danielle & I have been brainstorming about the best way to contact all of the IMC folks. The Members list isn't quite right b/c it's only for dues-paying members. We'd talked about creating a wholly new list for our purposes, but I think IMC Events may be the right list to use. The list has the following purposes:<br>
<ol><li>Membership drives</li><li>Fundraising appeals</li><li>Really, really big news (e.g. "We're losing the building!")</li></ol>Could we use the Shows list to do these purposes? We could continue sending our weekly newsletters w/ upcoming events. Or should we create another list? IMC-Communications, perhaps? I want to invite <i>everyone everywhere </i>to join this list. We should ideally have approx. 8,000,000 members.<br>
<br>Also: how does Vertical Response work? I've sent out a few emails using it, but now the number of people we can email is drastically lowered. Is there a way of upping the amount so we can start emailing large groups more regularly?<br>
<br>Let me know ASAP!<br><br>Thanks,<br>Austin<br><br>-- <br>Austin McCann, Development Adviser<br><a href="http://www.ucimc.org" target="_blank">Urbana-Champaign Independent Media Center</a><br><a href="http://www.digitalartscorps.org" target="_blank">Digital Arts Service Corps</a><br>
