    Hi

    What’s the easiest way for me to email listing owners please?

    and also is there a way to segregate paid listing owners and free listing owners?

    Hi Matthew,

    Thanks for your post. You can try exporting your user’s information following the instructions here https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-easily-import-and-export-wordpress-users/ . Then, import the emails into Mailchimp for sending newsletters.

    Thanks Kor

    I am trying to get my head around this seems like an oversight.

    Do you think there is any chance this process can be improved in future as its quite useful to email customers / users.

    Hello,

    the developers regularly revisit this, but haven’t added anything to the roadmap yet.

    I will add your vote to the topic!

    To be honest I am still finding it hard to believe this has been totally overlooked.

    I would like to contact listing owners to advise of new services and options that they can take advantage of but I am dreading the thought of having cobble various pieces of software together, combined with manual work in order to achieve this through trial and error.

    To help remove the guesswork it would be really useful if you could provide a set of instructions to help GeoDirectory webmasters to email listing owners. This must be a common request.

    We provide UsersWP Mailchimp integration, to add new users to MailChimp.

    Otherwise you can do as Kor said with users or export listings and grab the email field there.

    Hi Alex

    Thanks for this, though I don’t think the UsersWP Mailchimp integration will be any help for existing users.

    “Mailchimp addon for UsersWP.
    This addons lets the user subscribe to your newletters via Mailchimp during registration. When activated this addon creates a “Subscribe” checkbox in register form.”

    Furthermore I don’t wish to email newsletter subscribers, I want to email customers who have listings… I don’t see these users as ‘subscribers’, but rather customers with whom I need to communicate to provide them with information about changes to terms and conditions etc.

    So it looks like the only way to do this is to export and dig around to find the subscribers?

    When you export listings you can see which package is assigned to the listing.
