The GetCommunityMail blog

The GetCommunityMail blog publishes practical guides for the volunteers who run community groups — clubs, congregations, neighbourhoods and associations — covering email deliverability, member privacy and anti-spam compliance.

Why your community group's emails go to spam (and how to fix it)

· The GetCommunityMail team

Why community group announcements land in junk folders: the five most common causes, from long BCC lists to missing authentication, and how to fix each one.

How to email all your members without showing everyone's address

· The GetCommunityMail team

· The GetCommunityMail team

WhatsApp and Facebook feel free, but groups pay later: missed members, algorithm-filtered posts, unfindable information and a list the group does not own.
