Saw a recent post about someone in the Villages, Fl using Wix for managing their Kickball group. I manage one of the pickleball groups in the Villages, FL. We use Wix as a email broadcast to many members as reminders and special events. If we are doing a special event, we can have people respond via an acknowlegement that allows for proper planning.

Using Wix for Kickball rec group in the Villages, FL.
In the Villages, FL, I use Wix for communicating important events and reminder emails for our group of over 50 retirees for playing Kickball. We developed a single page website that new members can go to and sign up for automatic email reminders.

Using email marketing campaign that comes with Wix, I am able to pull the most recent contact list, create new email content and then send it out. Wix provides great stats such as how many were delivered, if any bounced, how many were read, etc.. At the bottom of our emails, we have an “unsubscribe” button for those that no longer want to receive emails.
