I want to email everyone a newsletter I have to pay thousands of $$ a year to do so.

I am new to Hubspot and we have maybe 3000-4000 clients to put on the system that up to now are all on paperwork ( yes you read that correctly).
Everything about data storage looks ok but if I want to email everyone a newsletter I have to pay thousands of $$ a year to do so. It seems like such a basic feature to go from free to over $10,000. Can someone please advice if I am reading things correctly, I would really appreciate any input at all.
Clearly we have been working in quite an archaic way and we want to move forwrad. Hubspot was recommended on social media.

HubSpot is designed to be an all-in-one inbound marketing automation platform. The email marketing tool is just a feature of a much more complex product.
With your specifications, you'll be looking at the Basic package with 4000 contacts which comes to a total of $7,800USD/€7,090. After that, you'll be looking at a yearly fee of 6,500.
If you're just looking to email your leads, there are much cheaper email platforms available.
The Sales CRM HubSpot offers is free and is a good tool to use to house your contacts and conduct 1-to-1 communications, schedule meetings, upload documents, etc.

To add to what @shearn said, planning to email newsletters without tracking that behavior in your CRM in 2018 is planning to fail.
When using a major inbound marketing platform like HubSpot it's best to shake off our MailChimp-thinking. Email is the messenger, not the message.
We should be emailing newsletter teasers to our audience which link back to our online newsletter or blog. The goal here is to condition the audience to exchange their clicks for the value we provide (in the 'newsletter'). Not to give the value away in an email riddled with numerous CTAs that only devalue each other.
You're on the right platform. Now you just need to use the right strategy. Please check out the HubSpot Academy Training (i.e., Inbound, Email Marketing, Contextual Marketing, etc.). It's some of the best marketing training on the web.
Hope that helps. Good luck.
Note: Please search for recent posts as HubSpot evolves to be the #1 CRM platform of choice world-wide.

@MFrankJohnson Couldn't agree with you more here. The days of newsletter riddled inbox should be waning. Every piece of marketing (including marketing emials) should have a specific goal in mind that can be later evaluated using SMART criteria. Can you provide a few examples that have proven succeful to you and your clients?

Sorry for delayed response @edjusten ... somehow missed your initial question. Since all of our HubSpot work is NDA-protected we can only offer 'sanitized' examples without explicit permission from clients (as time permits) -- see HubSpot Junk on Google Drive

Hi @Melly wanted to let you know that email marketing is now available with HubSpot Marketing Hub Starter. If you have questions for the Product Team specifically about email and or marketing best practices post your questions here.
@MFrankJohnson if you have any questions about the new starter offering I'd recommend posting too!
