Automation

Once you started your email campaigns, it’s really important to set up an autoresponder. SendPulse provides its users with three variants of automation:

Use automated emails to establish a friendly environment with your subscribers. Send them a birthday, greeting and special offer emails to make your clients feel unique. It also saves your time and helps to interact with your clients.

Automated emails are also useful for offering similar goods customers might like, sending relevant emails and lists of popular products, recommendations on how to use your website and so on.

Artificial Intelligence technology (AI)

SendPulse offers a unique technology of AI for analyzing your subscribers’ activity. It is easy to use and makes your campaign more effective.

AI will:

  1. save your time;
  2. recommend the best time to send your emails;
  3. rise email open rate;
  4. detect the communication source.

BUT you should send not less than 10 emails to each subscriber to make AI work for you.

Just set the time and date and click the corresponding button at the last stage of creating your campaign.

Subscriber didn’t open your email? SendPulse allows to resend the unread messages.

You just have to change the subject of the email and the date to new ones.

Scheduler

You can also plan your email campaigns with our easy scheduler. Simply set the necessary date and time and your subscribers will automatically receive the email on the arranged period.

A/B test

Split testing is another great feature for optimizing your email marketing activity.

Say, you are ready to send a letter, but not sure which subject of your email to choose. This is when A/B test will come in handy.

How it works?

Two mailings (A & B) are created and each email gets a different subject. A winning criterion is chosen, e.g. open rate. Mailing A is sent to 20% of your subscribers, another 20% will get mailing B.

Eventually, the rest 60% of your audience will receive the winning variant.

You can use A/B test also to check the effectiveness of Web Push Notifications.

They are great because:

  1. they allow to quickly inform your clients about attractive offers, super discounts, sales and so on;
  2. your subscribers will see them even if they’re offline or their tab is closed;
  3. you can send web pushes basing on subscribers’ previous orders;
  4. they are free and supported by many browsers.

How to use Web Push:

  • add your website, an image, and subscription request;
  • download setup files;
  • add offered code to your website.

SMS service

Sending SMS together with emails and web pushes will definitely upgrade your business! SendPulse offers a 10 free text trial to test the service.

Simply fill in all necessary information. Mind you can only change the content of the message if you use a paid plan. Sendpulse also allows to schedule the SMS campaign and add some personal touch by sending texts with a client’s personal information.

So, I’m sure now you know SendPulse is a great way to improve your email marketing campaign. Enjoy using it and good luck!
