Email marketing is gaining momentum now. It’s a great chance for small and medium businesses to establish relationships with their clients. Of course, business owners look for services that will take care of their business and make it automated. Email is the most widespread internet-marketing tool but not the only one.
There is an email marketing service that offers multichannel opportunities for internet marketing and this is SendPulse.
SendPulse is created for small and medium businesses since it has a lot of pros in comparison with the competitors. This service allows combining email, web push notification and SMS together in email marketing. This is a good chance to meet your clients’ needs and raise conversions.
We’ll start probably from the most important and interesting issue – prices.
Pricing plans in SendPulse are one of the things that made us try this service. Comparing them to pricing plans in MailChimp – there is a significant difference. Prices in SendPulse are much lower. There is a free plan – if you have less than 2500 subscribers, send up to 15 000 emails for free every month! Isn’t it great?
In MailChimp, for example, you will have to pay $30 to send emails to 2500 subscribers, while in SendPulse the price is $9.85 per month.
If you have a large mailing list consisting of 25 000 subscribers, you will pay $155 in MailChimp, while in SendPulse the price is – $108.
So, you see the difference is really striking.
The next important issue for a user, especially for a person, who has just started email marketing – convenience in using a service.
Interface of Sendpulse
The interface of the member’s area in SendPulse is pretty easy to understand and use. Main services are at the top and features – on the left. All the instructions in this service are simple, as there are prompts.
Another service that makes marketers choose SendPulse is Web Push Service. Push notification is a great tool because of its high visibility, absence of spam and high level of subscriptions and conversions. With the help of web push notification, we can remind subscribers of our product, encourage them to read or to buy offering a special discount.
