Our story
The paperboy never charged you on days there was no news.
Before email marketing became filled with automation, funnels, AI assistants, and hundreds of features, communicating with a community was simple. Schools, faith communities, restaurants, nonprofits, and town halls sent updates when they had something worth sharing.
Somewhere along the way, the tools stopped serving those organizations. We kept meeting nonprofits paying over $100 a month to store a contact list they emailed once a quarter. Restaurants renting software they used twelve times a year. Volunteer-run groups rationing logins because their plan only came with five.
The problem wasn't the organizations. It was the pricing model. Contact-based billing punishes exactly the groups email should serve best: the ones with big communities and occasional news.
So we built Bulletin around a different promise. Pay only when you send. When you have news, deliver it. When you don't, owe nothing.
The local paperboy delivered the paper when there was something worth delivering. That's the idea behind Bulletin.
