What made us choose SendPulse?

What are the features of email service?
As we used email service for free, we’ll dwell on its features.
Creating an email campaign takes 3 automatized steps and about half an hour if you don’t create your own template.
Choose “Create a campaign”.
The 1st step – information about campaign.
1. Choose a mailing list.
Before creating an email campaign, create a mailing list, you can send emails only to the users who gave you a permission. You can send the same email campaign to more than 1 mailing list at once.
2. Write the subject line.
You can use personalization in your subject line. When adding a new mailing list, create variables and add personal information about a subscriber to make your emails individual. These variables can be name, gender, age, occupation, etc.
Besides, you can add emoji to your subject line, it’s a trend now.
Also, segmentation is available.
The 2nd step – Template and message text
On this step you have to create an email template. There are several possible variants in the service: import your own one, create with the help of drag-and-drop editor or HTML editor or the variant that we preferred – choose from existing design templates.
The service offers several categories of nice templates. You’ll surely find something suitable for your business. Comparing with AWeber, there are less email templates in SendPulse but they are more “fresh” and up to date.
After choosing a template, create an email body. Just drag the elements to your template, add information, edit design and style of the elements. You can use personalization in the email body as well. Your clients will appreciate such an individual approach. You don’t need to be a programmer to create a beautiful template.
The 3rd step – Review and Sending
Check all the data you’ve added before. Preview how your email will look like on your subscribers’ screens.
Sending time
You may set the sending time if you need to send a campaign during non-working hours or on special dates.
Retrieving statistics
For you to track stats of your campaign, tick Opens and Clicks. You’ll be able to monitor number of delivered emails, errors, email open rates, click-through rate, opens by devices and location, emails marked as spam, etc. Such detailed statistics will help you to improve and optimize your email marketing since you will know your weak points.
Follow up to unopened messages
If you use free pricing plan, you can resend your email to subscribers who didn’t open it. You need only to create a new subject line and set the sending date.
If you use a paid tariff, you can resend your message either by email or by web push notification.
This feature lets you increase email open rates.
Hurray! Your email campaign is ready for sending!
You can test it to make sure that it looks the way you need.
Email marketing automation is extremely necessary in your business if you want to save time, to automate campaigns and to have client-oriented approach.
In SendPulse, you can choose between Sequential automation and Automation360.
Sequential automation is a way to create a traditional autoresponder. It includes series after subscribing to the list, on special days and triggered emails. They are easy to create and available for free.
Automation 360 is more advanced feature, with the help of which you can create an event-based automation flow using filters, conditions, action, goal. Such flow can include email, SMS, web push notifications. Automation360 is available on paid tariff only.
A/B testing
It is possible to optimize and improve your email campaigns in the service. Use A/B testing to find out which elements of your email perform better. You can test a lot of them: subject line, links, call to action, images, GIFs, videos, font size, etc.
Dedicated IP address
SendPulse controls dedicated IP addresses to make sure that they’re not blacklisted. Thus, it’s unlikely for your emails to get into the spam folder and your sender’s reputation is okay. In AWeber, you can’t send email campaigns from a dedicated IP address.
Customer Support
SendPulse has phone and live chat support, unlike MailChimp, that doesn’t have phone support. Also, you can look for different terms in SendPulse glossary of email marketing terms. Find the answers to FAQ and read the articles in the Knowledge Base on how to use the service.
We enjoyed using SendPulse. This service offers a great variety of useful features and has some innovations comparing with other services. Making the most of the service, you’ll be able to improve your email marketing and get higher conversions.
