Mastering Constant Contact

[Orange Julia]

I know it is not a terribly difficult thing to master, but I'm trying to get a year end appeal out and asked my assistant to figure out how to embed a paypal link for donations and instead she put in the amazon link.  Specifically I'd like to suggest three amounts in button formation.
 
Related--I need to really step up the fundraising and wondering if i should go with an online service for processing payment or stick with Paypal. Anyone in Non profit want to weigh in on the choices? Hambone gave me a few good options but as a one and a quarter person office, it can't have any kind of steep learning curve nor can it be expensive. My current e-mail list is about 350 and I won't be doing too many in person credit cards at least not in the first 18 months or so.
 
Thanks for any guidance.

I mastered Constant Contact by switching to Mail Chimp.

Go mailchimp. Its free and will cover all of your needs.

Ok let's assume for a second that I didn't need to get this END OF YEAR APPEAL out by Thursday of LAST week, and have all the time in the world to ask for folks to give a little $ to support me saving the earth (well, at least FFX County)... is it simple to mirate all my contacts in CC over to mail chimp?  Also, are there statistics that support that mailchimp marketing and info emails are are flagged as spam less frequently than CC?
