Why We Moved Our 100k+ Email List to Flodesk
Listen, we’ve been around the block a few times when it comes to email marketing platforms. Over the years, we’ve migrated and re-migrated to a handful of different ones to find the best fit, yet we always ended up leaving. After our recent switch last year to Flodesk, we definitely aren’t planning to leave any time soon.
While we’re aware that moving over such a large email list with over 100k subscribers to a beta platform seems completely absurd and irrational, but honestly? It was absolutely the most no-brainer migration we’ve ever done, and here’s why.
Reveling in Simplicity
We finally realized we just didn’t need all of the fancy bells and whistles that come from some of these other more robust platforms. Not only that, we were paying tenfold for those platforms compared to Flodesk, which starts out at only $38/month, plus by using our link, you’ll get it for 50% off! Holy savings, Batman!
Everything was just so simple with Flodesk– from uploading our many CSV files to re-building all of our workflows and forms, Flodesk saved us a lot of headache. Honestly, the only time-sucking part about the migration was just having to change opt-in links to our new Flodesk links, but not everyone will have so many places to check like we did.
Simplicity Meets Design
Flodesk is extremely design-focused, making sure it’s easy to create beautifully branded emails and forms. The Creative Template Shop is focused on design, so of course we needed that to translate through our emails as well. Otherwise, how could we expect to be taken seriously if we’re just sending plain text or very poorly designed emails all the time?
Their pre-built layout templates, font options, and email builder allow you to take your artistic expression to the next level. Having your brand and personality translate so strongly through your emails helps to make you more memorable, plus everyone loves to look at something so aesthetically pleasing.
BEAUTIFUL FORMS, YOU SAY?
How tired and played out are the standard forms you’re stuck with from an average email service? With Flodesk, we’re able to create branded full page forms that act as basic landing pages, popups, and inline forms, so we can capture new subscribers in style. Just take a look at this form for The Creative Template Shop. We don’t have to say anything else.
Goodbye, Confusing Automations!
We’ll be the first to admit we were all about having the most fancy, robust, and sometimes confusing automations you’ve probably ever laid eyes on. But then, something magical happened, and we realized we didn’t need all of that. We could do everything we were doing before with just Flodesk’s workflows, and a hell of a lot less confusion was involved.
And that’s it! We know, you were probably expecting a book explanation on why we would ever do such a wild thing, but if you were to see what Flodesk could offer you, you wouldn’t need to do a whole lot of explaining either. When we say it was a no-brainer, it truly was.
