Along with the lecture for security at our mission board training school, I gave a lecture on deputation tools. Here are the tools that I mentioned in the lecture. I trust this will be a help to those who would like to research these tools further. Almost all the tools I mention are available for cross-platform use or are web-based tools.
Email Client
- Thunderbird — Can be used on Linux, Mac, and Windows
Mailing List Programs
- Constant Contact — The one the office uses
- MailChimp — My recommendation for those getting started
- Vertical Response — The one Bro. Price mentioned
- MailPoet — WordPress based
- PHPList — The one I use for my newsletters
Website
- WordPress — For running on your own host
- SquareSpace
Office Tools

CRM — Contact Relationship Management
