I started the new year with a couple of goals on my list, but those quickly got pushed aside. About mid-February, though, I decided I wanted to attempt to cross one of my goals off my list.
I had previously signed up with Mailchimp to try and start an email subscriber list but quickly became frustrated that everything was only available with a paid subscription. Now listen, I realize sometimes you have to invest to see a result, but as a small business owner, I already have so many expenses. I didn’t want to spend x amount of money on something and then not even like the product. Mailchimp didn’t match my branding at all and was not user-friendly. It took me forever to write up an email, design it, then get it somewhat close to my branding. By the end of it, I could only send it to a select few people, because I needed to upgrade to have more than 100 subscribers or more than one list. BOO.
Being a small business that specializes in branding, I felt like my emails needed to sell myself. Who was I to preach about how important branding was when I couldn’t even send out an email that matched my brand?? Then I found Flodesk, and my investment was finally worth the money.
So why, Flodesk? Well, a couple of reasons!
One monthly price, with unlimited subscribers, list, etc.
Unlike Mailchimp, Flodesk doesn’t penalize you for growing your subscriber list. This was super important to me as a small business trying to build my subscriber list. I didn’t want to have to fork out more money for another list (for example, I have one for my freebie downloads, one for S&SCO subscribers, etc.). Whether you are small like me and building your list or already have a marketing empire, you pay the same monthly price.
Creative freedom:
Obviously, this was HUGE since I specialize in branding. For the first time in email marketing, you can use custom fonts, colors, and image collages. Yes, please!! I can make my emails on-brand and seamless.
