Are you ready to up your email marketing game?

If you’re in business, hopefully, you are using some form of email communication to interact with your prospects and clients. If you not, you are missing out! Email marketing is definitely still alive in 2019, though there are a right and a wrong way to do it. Bombarding people with loads of emails doesn’t work and is usually when you get those dreaded “unsubscribes” or even worse – SPAM complaints.

So how can you effectively use email marketing without 1) taking up your entire day sending emails 2) getting unengaged users and 3) breaking the bank? It might be time to move into an email automation strategy.

If you’re using a standard ESP, or Email Service Provider, you are very limited in what you can do. Most ESPs just offer email hosting, basic email sending, and archive. Think your basic Gmail, Yahoo, and that old school AOL account you used to have. These are great for personal use and even for small businesses or people getting started. But what do you do when you have a list of 1000 people and you need to send a mass email or newsletter? This is where email automation comes in.

Email automation platforms offer so much more than standard ESP. You can create dynamic email campaigns, send mass emails, and do so much more – and all automatically!
