What it is

Email & SMS Marketing, plainly.

Email and SMS are the highest-use channels for repeat customer purchase. A list of 500 engaged customers, properly managed, returns more revenue than 50,000 social followers. The mechanics are well-understood: send relevant content, segment by behavior, time it right, keep deliverability clean.

Our marketing tool is built into the platform: contacts come from your CRM (no list import drama), templates pull from your brand kit (every email is on-brand), and sends go through dedicated IPs warmed up for your domain (deliverability stays high).

For SMS, we handle the A2P 10DLC registration with carriers (a hard requirement since 2023), TCPA compliance (opt-in language, opt-out keywords), and per-state messaging law variations. Send broadcast SMS to opted-in lists, transactional SMS for order updates, and triggered SMS based on behavior.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are templates included?
Yes. 50+ pre-built email templates plus SMS broadcast formats, all auto-themed to your brand.
Is SMS marketing legal?
Yes, with proper opt-in (TCPA). We require opt-in language and handle opt-out keywords automatically.
What is A2P 10DLC?
Application-to-Person 10-Digit Long Code. US carriers (since 2023) require business SMS senders to register their use case to send to consumer phones. We handle the registration.
Deliverability?
We monitor inbox placement, manage sender reputation, and rotate IPs for high-volume senders.
Will my emails go to spam?
Not if your list is clean and engaged. Cold lists and spam-trap addresses tank deliverability fast.
Can I A/B test?
Yes. Subject line tests, content tests, send-time tests.
Automations?
Yes. Welcome series, abandoned cart, birthday, post-purchase, win-back, custom drip.
Revenue tracking?
Yes, if you connect Shopify, WooCommerce, or Stripe. Revenue attributed per campaign.
Multi-list management?

Free on Growth?
