Get Response for Email Marketing
If MailChimp and HubSpot had a kid (cause that can happen if they’re not careful), it would be named Get Response. We think that Get Response is doing what most email software companies will eventually do- advancing email marketing to marketing automation. This makes complete sense as email marketing needs to mature to being more targeted, period. Long gone are the days of just broadcasting the same message to all. Key points to consider with Get Response.
- Templates and drag + drop design tools make generating emails easy for the non-technical designer (or creative person)
- Automation tools allow you to customize sends based on data (insert subscribers name and other ata), crate customized workflows based on user actions, etc.
- List building support: Get Response makes it a point to provide training on list building. Size
isn’tis everything (almost) and Get Response offers great list building tools and more important, education on how to do it right
