RunSignup, the leading technology solution for US events, is thrilled to announce the beta release of free Email Marketing for Organizations. This new release gives small businesses and nonprofits a free email tool across all events and contacts on RunSignup, TicketSignup, and GiveSignup, all from a single dashboard. While free email marketing has been available for events on RunSignup and GiveSignup since 2015, the new Email Marketing for Organizations expands the offering to help event organizations save money and grow their events. 

As always, Email Marketing through RunSignup is free, with default lists, unlimited contact uploads, and unlimited sends. When an organization enables the new Email Dashboard, they have access to every participant, attendee, and donor list from across the events that use their payment account, with the ability to include and exclude any combination of lists. Additionally, organizations can upload their own supporter lists to extend the reach of their emails.

Key features of Email Marketing for Organizations include:

  • Free 
  • Unlimited contact uploads, emails, and sends
  • Default contact lists including every registration, donation, and ticket purchase across the platform
  • Beautiful, mobile-responsive, default email templates
  • Build your own email templates (no coding required)
  • Scheduled email sends
  • Separation of transactional and marketing emails to manage unsubscribes

Email Marketing for Organizations also capitalizes on RunSignup’s email personalization capabilities, with automated data replacement tags for mail merge. Email templates are always mobile-responsive and designed with prominent buttons to encourage contacts to take action.

RunSignup CEO and Founder, Bob Bickel said, “Over the years, our customers have expressed frustration about the cost of email marketing, particularly as their organizations have grown. We are so excited to relieve some of that burden by providing free email marketing that offers all the bells and whistles of major platforms, including list management, custom templates, and personalization..”
Email Marketing for Organizations is available for current customers of RunSignup, GiveSignup, and TicketSignup as well as new customers who have not set up an event yet but want to process transactions within the next 6 months.
