We use Constant Contact as our email service. And
because, well, quite frankly, the cost of stamps is way more than the cost
of a mailing list, we use the emailing list a lot more than we do snail
mail. Consider that sending out a snail mail to just half of our
mailing list would cost us more than twice what Constant Contact costs
us....
Join the Mailing List
It takes seconds.
It saves us beaucoup bucks. Get up to date on all the doings of Mobtown.
Constant Contact allows you to sign up not just for our basic mailing
list, but also lets you sign up for our auditions and volunteer
opportunities. Plus, you can update your profile and help us out
by filling in some demographic information. |

By the way - we are switching away from any sort of snail mail list.
Why? Too expensive. At this point, to send out a basic snail
mail to just half of our mailing list would cost us more than two
months' of Constant Contact....
Instructions
Is it all just getting a little too much for you?
We'll walk you through it.
Basic
We're trying to streamline this area and make it simpler
for you, just one of the reason's we switched from Topica. When you
enter your email in either the box above or the box on the right sidebar and
hit Join - your email is automatically added to our mailing list. But
beyond that you are taken to a page that allows you to sign up for different
lists and provide some basic demographic information. You can get
back to this registration page by clicking on the
Update Profile/Email Address link at the bottom of every email we
send you, or by re-entering your email address in either the box at the
right or above.
Our Pledge
We view this as the most efficient and cheapest
way for us to get you information about us and our events, and we don't want
to abuse your trust. We will never sell or give away our email list
to anyone else beside Mobtown. We've contracted with Constant
Contact so we can use their easy SafeUnsubscribe™
service to easily remove your email from our list if you no longer
want to receive emails. We will be sending out one email per month,
perhaps slightly more often for months when we have a show running.
Your Email Address
If you change your email, you can specify another email on
the profile page by clicking Edit Email button next to your email.
Email Lists
We have three basic email lists - the generic Mobtown
News list - which gives you great information on our upcoming events and
shows plus special deals and invites. But if you want to be more
active with the Mob, we can accommodate you there. Simply click the
box next to Volunteer Opportunities. From time to time, we will
send out an email blast to people asking for help when we need to clean the
theater, or for staffing for a show or event, or even to see if anyone has
any design experience. You can also sign up for Audition
Announcements; we'll send out an email blast to people on this list
letting them know about our next set of auditions.
Your
Demographic Information
We don't want to make you take too much time to
fill this out, and we aren't going to sell your information to the highest
bidder or anything. But taking a few minutes to fill in at least some
of this information will greatly help us get a better handle on our
audience. And that's important when trying to pitch to advertisers or
apply for gants. We're really interested in your zip code, as
this let's us know generally where you live. But your city and
state, general age, and general income are all very
helpful, too. If you can give us your name and date of birth,
our software can make things a little more personal. Notice that we
don't ask for your address; don't need it anymore - we won't be sending you
junk mail. And if you would like to leave a comment or note, we
got a space for that, too.
Text Only
If you aren't so much of a visual person and don't want the
added size and links of our html encoded emails, click this box and we'll
send the text version only to you.
Unsubscribe
If you change your mind, move out of the area,
lost your yen for theater, or whatever, you can quickly and easily
unsubscribe from the service. Really. We hate to see you go, but
sometimes two people grow apart....
