Benchmark Email Offers Free Email Accounts to Help Children, PTAs
With the new We Care About Kids program, in which free email accounts are granted to child-focused non-profits, Benchmark Email is sponsoring PTAs, PTSAs and PTOs by giving away free, unending email accounts to improve parent, teacher and student communication.

Los Alamitos, Calif., Aug. 8, 2011 – Benchmark Email, one of the world’s leading, global email marketing services, is giving Parent Teacher Organizations 100% free, unending email accounts as part of the company’s new charity program, We Care About Kids. With the new email accounts, PTA, PTSA and PTO leaders will not just be able to effectively communicate with students, teachers and parents, but manage contacts, send surveys and polls, create scheduled email campaigns and send multimedia emails.

“With an extremely shaky economy forcing vast cuts to education programs, we at Benchmark are deeply committed to doing everything we can to nurture and strengthen the link between teacher, student and parent,” says Judy Searing, director of the Benchmark Email program. “As a company, we’re proud to sponsor email accounts for PTAs and PTOs because we know that when budgets are slashed and programs disappear, it is more important than ever for parents and teachers to come together and help the children losing those resources.”

The sponsored Benchmark Email accounts give parents, teachers and students the power to send multimedia emails, and also send out polls and surveys, promote a social media presence and use a wide array of anti-spam tools. The free accounts also include live chat support, an extensive library of email marketing guides and tips, and a vast selection of FAQs covering everything from subject lines to using images. PTOs, PTAs and PTSA leaders can join the program by setting up an account at https://www.benchmarkemail.com/sponsorships/pta.
