PatronManager

New York, NY – Patron Technology President Eugene Carr today announced a major upgrade to the company’s PatronMail e-mail marketing software. The upgrade affords PatronMail clients even more control and ease of use when creating and sending their e-mail campaigns. The upgrade includes a new editing toolbar, spell checker, the ability to cut and paste from Word, a custom character library, virtually unlimited font and background colors, the ability to choose background color by article, and the ability to reposition images within the body of an e-mail.

“We pride ourselves on responding to our customers’ feedback and requests,” says Carr, “and each of these new features responds directly to their needs. As such, we’re confident that PatronMail will continue to be the most user-friendly and arts-focused e-mail marketing system available.”
