<p>Thanks Steven - this looks good. <br>
</p>
<p>How important do you think segmentation is? I think it could be
useful going forward if we want to be a bit more strategic - e.g.
sending different emails to people interested in different venues
- but not sure if we want to get that complex!</p>
<p>Only other thing that comes to mind is GDPR compliance - I assume
they all are, but it is something we should check before signing
up. <br>
</p>
<p>Any comments from anyone else?</p>
<p>Best wishes,<br>
Nick.<br>

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.

<div>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!</div>

<div>Here are the best options that I found:</div>

<li>Zoho is free for up to 2k contacts and 6k emails per month
but has no segmentation <a

<li>Brevo (formerly Send in Blue) offers unlimited contacts
but only 300 emails per day (so would require batching
somehow) and includes segmentation <a

<li><br>
</li>
<li>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 <a
