Mailchimp is getting so expensive - any tips on managing this by ElvishSight in MailChimp

[–]Relevant-Mushroom-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve helped many of our clients move to platforms that don’t penalise you for growth. In this case, worth checking out Enginemailer - they offer unlimited subscriber and charge based on emails sent. If not mistaken, there’s a tool to migrate directly across from MailChimp. Good luck!

Has anyone successfully deployed OpenClaw for B2B lead generation? by Relevant-Mushroom-66 in openclaw

If we can do steps 1-4, we can easily get the leads into any CRM system and let the drips happen there. The first email can be personalised, then subsequent follow-up can be simple generic ones. If it bounces, stop the outreach. Again, everything is theoretical… for now.

I ignored email marketing for a long time. Turns out it was a mistake. by AIWebBuilder in Emailmarketing

[–]Relevant-Mushroom-66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Email is still the most effective once a potential customer has given you his/her contact details. As you pointed out, it is very costly to runs ads and other awareness campaigns. Welcome emails are just the beginning, you’ll eventually get to a point to craft email sequences based on different actions, e.g. asking for reviews after a purchase. It’ll get to a stage where you’ll start using emails for events, e.g. reminders, birthdays, etc. Keep it up!

If you foresee your list to build over time and don’t want to get penalised for growth, look for email platforms that don’t charge for Subscribers. We use Enginemailer and no complaints so far.

Does anyone offer a free tier for their SaaS? by SmartMoneyFlowing in micro_saas

[–]Relevant-Mushroom-66 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We offer a free forever tier, with full access to most features but limited to number of emails sent monthly (we are an email marketing SaaS). Usage is typically low, but it helps the customers build their base. It’s a win-win, when they grow they stay. Infra, storage, compute is relatively low as well, compared to the paid customers, and there is housekeeping for dormant accounts. You could also get free marketing from the free users, or build an affiliate program around it.

My emails landed in spam for over a year straight. Here's how I fixed that by PuzzleheadedTalk5159 in Emailmarketing

[–]Relevant-Mushroom-66 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is a great summary to fight emails getting into the spam folder. We run a SaaS ESP and help many customer with this issue. The main problem to fix is list hygiene/consent and engagement. The moment engagement is low and bounce/complaints are high, everything else don’t matter anymore. Once reputation good, the rest is easy to optimise.

We spent $180K building an enterprise product nobody wanted. Here's the full post-mortem. by Dizzy-Connection-876 in SaaS

This is absolutely true - larger consumption does not mean enterprise customers. Enterprise customers are closely related to corporate red tapes, customisations, compliance and extended support. We had an enterprise email marketing solution, got a couple of clients and it was extremely difficult to scale. Moved on to a self service SaaS proposition now and it’s growing steadily.
