After 3 years, Rentafarmhouse has upgraded their monthly e-newsletter system to Mailchimp, an email marketing and email list manager system, which is able to control the "Rentafarmhouse Updates" that go at the end of each month.

With 500 emails subscribing last month, it was necessary to select a more professional and efficient service that could cater for a large email subscription database.

Some of the features of this email list manager system is the verification email, which cuts down on 'spam' and no company emails can be used with prefexes like info, admin, gm, ceo or mail. Emails can also be tracked and determined if they have been openned or clicked on. A more accurate analysis can be obtained when the e-newsletter is sent.

Subscribers that joined 3 years ago, at the start of the rentafarmhouse scheme, are encouraged to re-subscribe and re-clarify their email address to ensure they are still seeking to move into the country and looking for a farmhouse.

Go to home page of the website www.rentafarmhouse.com.au and enter your email address at the bottom.

Channel 7 "Today Tonight" flew to Dubbo central NSW last week to film Rentafarmhouse's 3 year result in Cumnock one day and then to Coonamble and Quambone the next day to launch the $1 a week farmhouse scheme. The TV segment attracted many enquiries and applications to the regional towns seeking to strengthen their communities. Watch the 4 min 45 sec "One dollar boom towns" show at http://au.news.yahoo.com/today-tonight/video/ and then go to Coonamble and Quambone's website to apply at www.rentafarmhouse.yolasite.com or email rentafarmhouse@hotmail.com.au
