why choose gcn?
Our e-Newsletter Gizmo is built on the industry-standard, PHPList newsletter distribution engine. The software is simple and easy to use, and
provides full reporting capabilities so that you can prove the value of your readership to your advertisers. Our talented team of designers can create specialized newsletter templates that incorporate your brand’s look and feel, and we can integrate ads served by your banner ad software into each message. Each of the e-Newsletters we distribute for our customers are sent from our ultra-reliable Internet backbone hub located just outside of Boston, Mass. At our facility, multi-megabit connections to six, tier-1 backbone providers are merged onto a fully-redundant, fiber network. This guarantees your messages are delivered faster, and with fewer hops than your corporate e-mail system.

case study:
Illinois-based Gill Ashton Publishing, publisher of Food Service Equipment Reports, uses our e-Newsletter Gizmo to send out its FER Fortnightly, which is the definitive source of news and information for the food service equipment industry. FER Fortnightly is divided into distinct product categories, and user traffic back to the publication Web site is monitored to determine which are the most active topic areas. The publisher’s in-house staff manages both list maintenance and sending of the e-newsletter. Bounces are automatically processed so they can be sent to the publication’s fulfillment house for integrating with the print subscriber data.
