We do not pay for standard edition. So far the 1GB of space has been more than enough for our users. However, we also have a local physical file server to supplement the document storage needs.

I’d like to transition our church fully to Google apps but what we need more than anything from an IT standpoint is a fileserver that is web-based, and utilizes users and groups. Google Apps does all that, but the thing I haven’t figured out is the storage quotas.

We have the education edition, and right now you can’t purchase additional storage space. Also, space is allocated per user, rather than per organization. So, I’d like to upload 5GB of our stuff, but each user only gets 1GB of space.

Am I missing something? Do you guys pay for standard edition?

Amen! Google rocks my IT world too. We use Google Premier for our business down here in NZ & the sync to iPhone is just the best thing ever. When we are at our desks we do access our accounts via Outlook 2007 but then it is a very slick application even if it is from Microsoft

We’ve used MailChimp at http://firsthattiesburg.com for over a year and love it for our email newsletter. Very easy to use. Good support

John:

hey, just one more comment on email marketing. If you use a system like Aweber, you can have a series of email messages that are sent out according to when the person signs up.

For instance, I can say: send this one 1 day after sign up, this one 3 days after sign up, this one 7 days after sign up. These are called “broadcasts”.

If you only send a newsletter and your newsletter goes out on the 27th, I might sign up on the 2nd of the month and not hear from you until the 27th.

Plus, I never get the info that you sent out on your other 35 newsletters since I missed them.

hope this makes sense

John:

One more question: do you have a system of “capturing” email addresses from people like me? People who are out of state, but visit your site to watch messages, see what’s new, etc?

I didn’t look thoroughly at your home page to see how you “capture” emails for your site, but you can have a pop up that appears and then as people sign up, it also has them check categories of interest - I am sure you have seen this on other sites, but it “presorts” people for your newsletters.

I guess I am thinking that people like me who are out of state are the ones who you would keep abreast of new things and are also the ones who you might want to send things about “strategic partners”, etc.

I am just wondering if you have a separate “marketing” strategy for those who are not local?

I visit your site often, but if I didn’t pursue you guys, I don’t think you are necessarily reaching out to me?

again, I can be emailed at: borojevich@hotmail.com

I am someone who lives in Ohio but visits your site very often. What is the problem you are having with Constant Contact?

If you could please respond to: borojevich@hotmail.com that would be great.

I have done many email newsletters with constant contact, but many internet people I know with big lists go with Aweber.

I have also corresponded with the author of “Email marketing for dummies” - He is something high up in Constant Contact - but he is accessible if you are having big problems with that and want to continue to use.

Some of the other “smaller” email marketing companies have issues with delivery.
