[FOSS4G2016] Mailchimp monthly costs

[till.adams at fossgis.de]

Hi,

> Hi folks,

> Our Mailchimp (newsletter) account holds several lists (from btoh
> 2014 and 2015; particpants and sponsors etc).
> The total number of subscribers on these lists sum up to almost 5000.
> The major list alone already 3000+
>
> That number means we're above the free Mailchimp account program
> (upper limit: 2000).
>
> Theoretically one could create one or 2 extra accounts, and stay
> under the 2000 limits.
> Not by me though, since that would be very impractical to maintain.
>
> Therefor I ask to provide a budget of 50 euro's/month for 5 months
> (including September) for a 5000 subscriber Mailchimp account
> I know that somewhere along the line Till, Marc and I agreed on a 5K
> marketing budget, but I could find these expenses in our budget plan.

okay.


> So 3 questions:
> - Is the 5*50 = 250 euros (ex VAT) budget OK?
> - How to pay & claim these expenses (paying can be done by my own 
> creditcard)
> - And to make things like this easier in the future: who's in charge
> of these decisions. Torsten? Till?

Till and Torsten :-)

If you pay (because we have no CC) receive an invvoice which is 
adressed to official FOSSGIs adress:

FOSSGIS e.V.
Till Adams
Römerweg 5
D-79199 Kirchzarten


Then Torsten can retransfer the money to you.

Till
