I just got put in charge of setting up a mailing list for the company, to reach potential buyers by spamming all the real estate agents in the city. I need to learn how to set up a mailing list.
The reqs:
1.) I need the ability to send out a message to 1-2000 emails.
2.) I need to be able to add emails to the mailing list without having to ask the agent's permission (this sorta makes it spam, but this is what a real estate agent's email is for).
3.) I need to make it so all of this takes effect with only 1 email composed. If there are size restrictions on the number of emails we can send it up to 3 or 4 times to get to all the agents.
Anyone got any ideas? Good starting points?
Oh, and I need this done by the end of the week. Which is basically Sunday night, as far as I'm concerned. I doubt I'd have it done by tomorrow anyway.
Edit: Almost forgot to list what I have available:
1.) A Gmail account for the business
2.) The business name available for any other web based email provider that might make it easier.
3.) $500 to buy hardware if that's needed (God I hope not. I don't even know what I'm doing already, I don't need the extra headache of maintaining a mail server of some sort).

Re: Starting a Mailing List
How are you getting email at the moment? Or do you mean 'the extra headache of maintaining another mail server'?Phantasee wrote:(God I hope not. I don't even know what I'm doing already, I don't need the extra headache of maintaining a mail server of some sort).
We dont' really use email much, most documents we need we just email to our personal emails (hotmail/gmail).
The thing about real estate is that most documentation is in paper form, and it's going to be that way for a while, so we didn't bother setting up any kind of web presence other than being listed in the yellow pages online.
