I'd like to spruce up the regular emails we send to members and friends of a charity I am connected with.

We probably send two or three emails a month to 100 or so people. The current emails are a bit bland as they are just text. I'd like to add project pictures and 'stuff' like that and make the emails a little more dynamic.

I've used sendinblue in the past whilst in an entirely different role : are there any other ones (perhaps better) that I could look at or is sendinblue likely to do all that I need?

Thanks.
 
I use Zoho for sending email campaigns. It's complete and you can even integrate your data (sales etc.) to your website even in Wordpress. It also has a task management system like Asana. For email campaigns, it's easy to use, they have a lot of templates there.

I think you can use sendgrid for your requirement. Its quite popular service. They have a free price plan where you can send up to 100 mails per day.

We use sendgrid at our firm and we split our email target groups to workaround the 100 mails per day limit.

Another vote for MailChimp.

We've integrated it with our ecommerce site, so it handles our abandoned carts and it also links up with Google Analytics and other tracking stuff. So we can track revenue, email traffic and which campaigns are most successful.

I've tried a few of these - MailChimp, AWeber and GetResponse (As well as mail merge functionality with GSuite).

I find GetResponse to be superior to all of them.

While text emails may look boring to some (i prefer them personally), keep in mind that at least you can be sure they delivered properly. With HTML emails, some elements - most notably images - may be blocked on the recipient's client and that will cause the email to look bad.

My suggestion is to have 2 versions and put a link in each saying "get this newsletter in plain text/html format" and let people make their own choice.

HTML emails do have the advantage of enabling you to track them. Plain text have the advantage of being more private and simple to read.

Edit: The Nielsen&Norman group's newsletters are plain text. I think that's a pretty clear hint.

I've used mailchimp and it works well but just note on the free version in the footer it'll have the mailchimp logo. You can only get rid of that in the paid version but otherwise it'll be more than suitable for your purposes.
