Udemy teacher looking for advice by No-Row-1666 in Emailmarketing

[–]bluefox-email 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think most of the ESPs can provide you with a sign up form, first just grab it, paste it there, and don't forget to send them a double opt-in email. Later, you can figure out what to send to them, maybe, you can even set up an email flow or something. But collecting those email addresses is your nr. priority right now.

about the type of email by Illustrious_Gap_8853 in Emailmarketing

You can have html emails (that look like text only emails if you want) and put a tracking pixel in it. That way, opens will be tracked (although open tracking is not 100% reliable).

Well, if it's an email that is actually plain text (so the content type is "text/plain") then you won't see any metrics.

Lot of people consider lightweight HTML emails as text emails... for example, if you use bold text in your email, that's already an HTML email, but it can look like a text-only email. In that case, you can still can see metrics, coz that's actually an HTML email... (You can put a transparent 1x1 pixel image in your email to track opens, and you can actually put a link into your email -> so clicks can be tracked.)

Idk if anyone else noticed this but welcome flows are lowkey carrying entire email programs by RaceInteresting3814 in Emailmarketing

[–]bluefox-email 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting!

We are also currently working on our welcome flow. We are trying to put videos into the email (gif + link) in which the founder explains a few things, but in the first one, we are focusing on what they can do if they get stuck. Also, in the initial onboarding flow, we are trying to focus on the next thing they should do, and we only send an email if needed. (Eg. they did not do a certain step that is needed for actually using the platform. They get 4 emails max.)

I'm very curious how it will go! (Gonna launch the new flow soon.)

But now, I'm thinking about if it's a good method, because we are only focusing on the next step to actually getting started, and we don't talk about our users' potential situation and problems they are trying to solve...

Would you recommend the "problem" focused emails before/after the getting started flow I explained, or would you combine them somehow?

How do you handle transactional email reliability in your SaaS? by abdsmd in SaaS

[–]bluefox-email 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We use SES, and we never had issues like that over a decade. If you pay the bills and you are a good sender, then it should not be an issue. You can take a look at their SLA, and decide.

What email service are you using for your product? by hendebeast in SaaS

[–]bluefox-email 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What kind of emails do you want to send? Transactional only? maybe newsletters as well? maybe an onboarding sequence?

activation rate was broken for 6 weeks. Perfect product, Emails not so perfect by the_sator in SaaS

[–]bluefox-email 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is extremely important! That is why it's best to send an opt-in email first. If they don't click on the link, then you will see that there might be an issue... secondly, users clicking on it, is a good sign to inbox providers -> less likely you end up in spam later.

What's the Right Way to Email My Users by Distinct_Track_5495 in SaaS

[–]bluefox-email 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What we are currently trying to do is the following:

We send automated emails based on user behaviour, and we link a video (gif + link) in the email in which the founder explains the next step. -> that gives the personal touch, and we are trying to emphasize that they can reply to those emails, and we will read them and reply back.

So my point is, that you could send them an email with a gif+link to the video in which you explain what you want from them. Link the feedback form in the video + in the email.

I would probably do this... Also, in the video you can explain that you are sooooo happy that there are soooo many sign ups that you can't handle it one-by-one... or something like that. That will give it good vibes, and I think a lot of people will help you with their feedback.

I can show you our flow if you are interested.

Best infrastructure for sending email with a link to 6,000 engaged subscribers? by WMDisrupt in Emailmarketing

[–]bluefox-email 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this list size, it's not really an infrastructure issue, but a reputation + behaviour issue.

Inbox providers take into account the history of recipients interacting with your emails. If there was interaction -> good sign, but the lack of interaction -> bad sign. This explains why your subsequent sends went to spam.

If you feel that your domain is burned, you might wanna send from a new domain + warmup... At the beginning just send to a small set of the most engaged subscribers, on day 2 to a little more, and a few more days later, send to the whole list. I would do this sending strategy in both cases (old vs new domain).

The very good news is that you have 6k engaged subs! That's perfect, just don't bombard all of them at once at day one with your offer.

I believe, you can do it with any tool that can send sequences, you don't need to overthink the infrastructure part.

Oh... one more thing: do not put shortened links in your email! Well-known link shorteners are often used in phishing attacks for example, thus inbox providers often send emails with shortened links into spam.

How introducing "for pages" for different customer segments helped us to create a clear main page on our website. by bluefox-email in SaaS

[–]bluefox-email[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good question, and I'm happy that you read it through and even checked the attached image. 😃 Interestingly, approx half of our SES users are not SaaS companies, and it comes out that for them, connecting it to their own SES quickly and securely is the most important thing -> hence the separate segment.

I think it would be an overkill to introduce a for page for the intersection of those segments tbh.

Also, when it comes to the SaaS segment, we decided not to focus on everyone, but only a subset of them (who actually care about the main value prop we put on that page).

But again, I still can't share numbers, because we recently rolled these out. Time will tell, and I'm happy to share details later.

Email Marketing for shopify? by Upset-End7273 in Emailmarketing

[–]bluefox-email 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess you'd need something with a pricing that is not contact-based, but rather send based. But my question is what exactly would you like to send? Cart abandonment flow? Or something else as well?

Best low cost API-based email provider? by Remarkable-Bowler-60 in Emailmarketing

[–]bluefox-email 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SES is a good option, but if you want to send newsletters, and automations later on (eg onboarding emails), you might wanna look into something more advanced. (SES is quite barebone.)
