right then and there!
Instead we re-committed to our goal to reach as many leading
individuals, community members and groups as possible and to
connect them by sharing timely and useful news and information.
Re-building Bronzecomm has been slower and more challenging
than we imagined when we signed up for Constant Contact and
agreed to follow all the rules, regulations and anti-spam policies
they have proscribed. It's no joke that they protect their (and
mine and your) security with machine-like precision.
Non-compliance is not an option.
We can no longer simply add readers to the list whenever we want.
to sign up for themselves and often some are even required to
confirm they are a human being and not a spambot before
registration is completed. It's a 3-4 step process and hopefully
we're worth it. Some older readers are turned off by the whole
thing and may need a hand or a nudge to comply to Constant
Contact's procedures. Sometimes you may have to do it more
than once. Constant Contact has bugs they are slow to fix.
The fact is the machines are taking over! And maybe that makes
Bronzecomm more important than ever. We promise to continue
to share news and events you may not see anywhere else and
to highlight important news that should not be missed. We don't
claim to replace MSM but we do amplify a lot of what's going on
right in the communities where we live and work and play.
For a long time, Bronzecomm was reaching tens of thousands of
readers in downtown offices, suburban homes, political headquarters,
businesses, organizations of all kinds, schools, and churches by
email alone. It was like everybody was getting Bronzecomm
because many people were also passing it on to friends and family.
With Social Media like Facebook, Linked In and Twitter the word
goes out along more channels these days; but we still believe
email provides the most direct and uncluttered connection.
So we campaign constantly for more email subscribers.
Telling your friends our story this month will be a big help.
We want everybody who wants to know what's going on in
Black Chicago to read and share Bronzecomm so that we
may be stronger for it!
