Send your next campaign using Squarespace Email Marketing Tools
Squarespace Email Marketing Tools allows anyone to gather email addresses, promote a newsletter, send marketing emails and analyze the reader email activity – all using the same Squarespace platform.
As good as this sounds, let’s not overlook the importance of design. The essence of quality marketing is the consistency of your brand’s design aesthetic on all mediums.
Squarespace has you covered as your email campaigns can repurpose the content and branding of your website. Furthermore you can directly import products from your site to convert your audience into loyal customers. Squarespace makes it easy to automatically send subscribers emails when they sign up or make a purchase. This saves you time and makes it easy to introduce your brand to new email subscribers or re-engage your customers. For example, you might set up an automation that includes a discount 30 days after a customer makes a purchase to inspire them to come back.
In this tutorial I’m going to show you exactly how easy it is to send your first marketing campaign email using Squarespace Email Marketing Tools.
