If you are anything like me, you have looked into all of the email marketing platforms. There are so many out there to choose from! I used Convertkit for a long time, but recently made the switch to email marketing with Flodesk and I don’t regret it at all. Not even a little.
Email marketing is an important part of marketing my Teachers Pay Teachers store (and serving my virtual assistant clients). Growing email lists require upkeep and nurturing. You want to let your customers and subscribers know when you are having a sale or offering a new product or service. Managing an email marketing campaign is time-consuming and can quickly become expensive.
If you’ve spent hour upon hour scrubbing your email list of inactive users in order to keep rising fees down, you are not alone. You might feel tired of navigating often difficult-to-use platforms that have too many confusing features that you will never need. You know that busy teachers are tired after a long day and won’t read an email full of long text blocks.
You need an email marketing plan that is easy to understand and use. You want scroll-stopping layouts that attract your clients’ attention so that you have higher conversion rates–they know what they need when they see it. And you need it to be affordable. I mean, as a small business owner, you want to make sure your dollars are spent wisely!
What if I told you that I found an email marketing platform that is all of those things and more? Would you believe me? Does it sound too good to be true?
Scroll-Stopping Layouts
We all know that email marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach our intended audience. But you also know that teachers, your customers, are tired after spending all day in the classroom. They don’t have the energy to read through emails that are text block after text block. You want them to FULL.STOP when they see your emails in their inboxes.
This is what drew me to Flodesk. I started noticing the emails that were arriving in my own inbox. Some were big blocks of text that were just ho-hum. They probably had valuable information, but visually, they didn’t make me want to stop and read. Click. Delete.
Others, however, grabbed my attention as soon as I opened the email. I could spot an email sent through Flodesk from a mile away. I read them to find out more! AND, I remembered who they were. I was excited to see more of their emails in my inbox every day. Click. READ!
You want emails that grab your customers’ attention at first glance. And you want beautiful layouts that complement the copywriting of the email so that customers actually want to read the words. Look no further.
Easy-to-use Platform
I know what you are thinking. Another new thing for me to learn.
Flodesk is super intuitive. They’ve taken out all the fluff, and you are left with the necessary essentials. Let’s take a look.
When you first log into your Flodesk account, you immediately notice the calm, simple interface. The page is calming, with no flashy colors or graphics that distract you, no menus a mile long with way too many options. It provides you with easy access to emails, forms, workflows, and your audience so you never have to question where or how you did this the last time.
Emails
You can design and write beautiful eye-catching emails and email campaigns. Yes, even if you are not the totally creative type. Flodesk provides email templates for you to customize however you need. They even have them divided into categories based on your goals for the emails, whether you want to sell something or send a nurturing email.
Forms
Creating beautiful on-brand popup, inline, or full-page forms with Flodesk is simple, too. You can create beautiful optin forms that AUTOMATICALLY updates your audiences in a process similar to the emails process.
Workflows
FINALLY! An easy-to-understand-and-implement workflow format. Flodesk’s workflow section includes several sample workflows that you can use. Of course, they are easy to customize for your specific needs.
Pricing
Other email marketing platforms charge you according to how many customers you have on your lists. Convertkit, for example, charges only $29 a month, but as you grow your email list, the price increases.
Flodesk, on the other hand, has a one price for life plan. When you sign up through a current user like me, you will only pay $19 a month–no matter how big your list of contacts is! That is 50% off their normal rate. If you pay a year at a time like I do, you get a FREE month, too. That is only $209 for a year. How awesome is that?
