[OSGeo-UK] Email Newsletter to event attendees

[Steven Feldman]

While we were preparing for FOSS4GUK we talked about the possibility of building a mailing list to send infrequent newsletters to people who attended our events but might not want to follow this list. This would help us market to potential attendees and sponsors.

I undertook to review the free tiers of several of the commercial services. I did not consider any self hosted solutions as I don’t have the skills to stand something like that up, but if anyone is willing to do that feel free to put your hand up!

Here are the best options that I found:

Zoho is free for up to 2k contacts and 6k emails per month but has no segmentation https://www.zoho.com/campaigns/pricing.html?src=dd
Brevo (formerly Send in Blue) offers unlimited contacts but only 300 emails per day (so would require batching somehow) and includes segmentation https://www.brevo.com/pricing/marketing-platform/see-all-features/
Sender looks good 2,500 free contacts and 15,000 sends per month, includes segmentation. They also offer a PAYG model where we pay £4.68/1000 emails if we need the advanced features but only a few times per year https://www.sender.net/pricing/

Thoughts?
