BulletinBulletin for small towns & local government
A simpler way to keep residents informed.
Send council meeting notices, community updates, road closures, utility outages, event announcements, and public-service news without learning a complicated marketing platform.
Public communication, made direct
Your town needs to communicate. It doesn't need to become a marketing organization.
Residents shouldn't have to search social media or visit multiple websites to learn what's happening in their community.
Bulletin gives small towns and local governments a direct, dependable way to share important information with the people they serve. No complicated campaigns. No automation builders. No technical expertise required.
Consistent communication helps residents understand local decisions, participate in public life, and feel more connected to their community. Bulletin complements required public notices by making important information easier for residents to receive and understand.

Whether your town communicates twice a month or only when something important happens, Bulletin makes it simple to reach residents directly.

What it costs
Communication that fits a small-town budget.
Bulletin never charges based on the number of contacts you store. Your cost is based on the number of emails you send.
A town with 2,000 subscribers sending two community updates each month uses about 48,000 sends annually. Bulletin's 50,000-send package costs $90 — dependable community communication for an average of $7.50 per month.
Your list can grow without automatically creating a larger platform bill. Start with 500 sends free — then 5,000 sends for $10, 50,000 for $90, or 500,000 for $800.
Help when you need it
Start with real support.
Bulletin offers personalized onboarding to help you import contacts, set up your account, and begin sending. Ongoing email and chat support are always included — never gated behind a higher-priced plan.
If your town is moving from another platform, Bulletin will help with the transition, contact import, and domain setup.
Common questions
Does our staff need email marketing experience?
No. Bulletin is designed for organizations that need to communicate without becoming marketing experts. Staff members can create an email, select recipients, and send — without building automated campaigns or navigating a complicated marketing platform.
How much would Bulletin cost a small town?
Bulletin's pricing is based on the number of emails sent, not contacts stored. Start with 500 sends free, then purchase 5,000 sends for $10, 50,000 for $90, or 500,000 for $800. A town with 2,000 subscribers sending two updates a month would use about 48,000 sends annually — covered by the $90 package.
Can multiple departments and staff members use the account?
Yes. Bulletin includes unlimited team members with no per-seat fees. Administrators can give council members, department heads, library staff, recreation coordinators, and other authorized users appropriate access within the same account.
Can we send from an official municipal email address?
Yes. Your town can connect its official domain and send from an address residents recognize and trust. Bulletin can also help your staff get the account set up and ready to send.
Can we import our existing contacts?
Yes. Bulletin includes personalized onboarding and migration assistance. We'll help you import contacts from another platform or a spreadsheet and get your account up and running quickly.
Does Bulletin replace legally required public notices?
No. Bulletin complements required public notices; it does not replace any publication, posting, accessibility, or notification method required by applicable state laws. It gives residents an additional, direct way to receive and understand meeting notices, service updates, and other public information.
