If you like to update all your members with Demographics info you have collecyed you can do this by creating a CSV file and adding the info to different columns. To create a CSV file see our tutorial here.

Below are samples of the formats you can use for creating columns for updating the “Demographics” on your members. Each one would be in its own column in the first row of your CSV with the corresponding info below it for each member.

EmailAddr_, First_Name_, Last_Name_, Address_1_, City_, State_Province_, Phone_Home_, Birthday_, Marital_Status_, Interests_, Occupation_, Company_Name_, Company_URL_, Phone_Office_,

Field_1_, Field_2_, Field_3_, Field_4_, Field_5_, Field_6_, Field_7_, Field_8_, Field_9_, Field_10_,

Below is a sample of a CSV file with EmailAddr_, and FullName_, set up in columns.

How Our Message Pricing Works

  1. Included Monthly Messages
    Each plan comes with a certain number of included messages at a standard size (up to 40K per email).
  2. Overage Rate
    After you’ve sent all your included messages, each additional 1,000 emails costs $0.90.
  3. What If an Email Is Larger Than 40K?
    • We measure every extra 1K of data beyond 40K as an extra fraction of a message.
    • Example: A 50K email counts as 1.25 messages (because 50K is 1.25 × 40K).
    • This prevents rounding up to a full extra 40K block when you only need 10K more.
  4. Covered by Your Monthly Fee
    • All administrative and automated list messages (welcome emails, unsubscribe confirmations, surveys, etc.)
    • Access to features like archives, refer-a-friend, click/open tracking, feedback loops, and more.
