Mailpoet is software we can add to your WordPress website that allows you to send e-newsletters. It comes in both free and premium versions, and includes an email sending service.
You create a newsletter in the admin area of your site and then send it to your list of subscribers. You can also set up automated mailings. The newsletter is then sent by Mailpoet’s servers, which means it has a better chance of being seen by your customers and not handled as junk.
E-newsletters are a great way to keep in touch with your customers, especially if you have an online shop, where you can use it to send out special offers or new products that keep customers coming back for more.
Mailpoet includes everything you need to comply with the latest Data Protection (GDPR) laws, with features like double opt-in. But much of the law is about what you do with the data and Mailpoet is just a tool to help you comply.
Mailpoet includes tracking info for all your emails, including bounce management and link tracking through Google Analytics. The premium version has most options, but you get it for free if you have fewer than 1,000 subscribers.
