How to Choose an E-Newsletter Platform
When shopping around for an e-newsletter platform, you’ll want to find one that’s easy to use and has the features you need. Here’s what to keep in mind…
What to look for when choosing an e-newsletter platform
Is the platform easy to figure out?
How many subscribers are you allowed?
How many emails can you send per month?
Are you limited to a certain number of lists or tags?
Is the platform equipped with GDPR settings, like double opt-in?
Does the platform allow multiple types of opt-in forms, like embedded forms, page forms, and pop-ups?
If landing page software is important to you, does the platform offer that?
What are the analytics like? Do they provide what you need to know?
Does the platform integrate with the websites and software you need it to?
