First Large Emailing Completed
VOID has completed its first targeted large emailing of over 6000 emails to voters in the San Antonio, Texas area. The intention was to get this mailing out well before the Texas primary. We purchased the list well in advance, but, ran into enormous obstacles finding the right software to deliver 6000 emails in one swoop, and do it in a manner that would meet with our Host Mail Server sending limits designed to protect their shared hosting resources for other account holders.
Weeks went researching, then an injury, and more weeks of research and finally landing the right software, days went by configuring it, working out details with our Server Host, and finally, getting the email out. Regretfully, the email went out after the Texas Primary instead of before, when interest would have been at its height. We had a few very positive responses, and will likely see more in the coming days.
But, we will press on. The Board will meet shortly to authorize the purchase of another list for another targeted audience. This time, having all the infrastructure in place, we can be assured of a timely delivery in a state with its primary or caucus coming up. The email we are sending raises awareness of the need to vote anti-incumbent where possible, and of our organization and its purpose and mission. You can view the email being sent by clicking here.
Your thoughts, recommendations, and suggestions made in the comments here will be read and considered and very much appreciated.
