Why I Moved To Flodesk
Guys have you heard about Flodesk yet?? Have you seen super cute emails in your inbox lately and wondered - Where did these come from?? And how do I get them! Well I’m going to tell you ALL about Flodesk and why you will DEFS want to make the switch.
What is Flodesk?
Flodesk is a brand new, super user-friendly, amazing email marketing platform! It has LOADS of beautiful pre-made templates all ready to go, work flow suggestions, and easy to make forms to connect with your website.
So why make the switch? Here are my top reasons!
1. Umm it’s beautiful? Flodesk is VERY aesthetically pleasing, and if you’re like me and only read emails that are pretty then this is key. If I get an email in my inbox and it’s JUST text…I’m sorry, I just can’t! BUT if it’s laid out beautifully, has nice branding and images then you bet I’m going to take the time to read it - and I want that for my subscribers too!
Flodesk has a whole bunch of pre-made templates that make ANYTHING look more interesting. It has LOADS of fonts to choose from, and little cute assets in their templates as well. You can also add in your branding to be readily available when creating your email design including colours and logo ect. And yes of course - if you already have beautifully made email templates you like to use, then you can just drop them in as JPG slices as well!
2. Easy-as work flows! You guys, I create emails and flows almost every week for clients, and yes I do still get nervous creating work flows on Mailchimp! I don’t know why - it’s just not as easy to follow! When I signed up for a Flodesk free trial I went straight in to make a work flow for my 2-Day Free Email Course, and it was just SO straight forward! The way it was all laid out for me to easily follow, and how it also suggests work flows for you! For eg - The Welcome work flow suggests what emails to come next after you send the standard “Thanks For Joining” email! I’ve scrolled around looking at all the work flows they have and seriously want to set up HEAPS!
3. She’s user friendly! I’ve been using Mailchimp for YEARS but I still get super frustrated with all the tags, lists and contacts ect. I still have to google “how to do X Y Z” on Mailchimp a lot because it seems to change a fair bit. But with Flodesk creating work flows, templates and segmenting your subscriber list it is all VERY easy, neat and organised which I LOVE.
4. Instagram integration! LOVE THIS SO MUCH!! Yep - Flodesk automatically pulls your instagram feed on the bottom of your emails which is A-MAZING! I manually have to do this for clients each month which is pretty annoying tbh… Mailchimp still hasn’t figured out how to do this.
5. The Support? SO GOOD! When I started using Flodesk I wasn’t sure how to add it to my Squarespace website, and found a group on Facebook called Flodesk Insiders. I just typed in what I was looking for in the search and LOADS of blogs and videos came up! The group is filled with new users and total pros, so if you ever have a question you can’t find with a quick google, these friendly folk will get back to you within MINUTES it’s amazing!
6. You won’t be punished for gaining more subscribers! Almost every single email marketing platform I have used or researched charges you MORE if you gain more subscribers…like, that sucks! With Flodesk you will only be charged one flat rate per month, whether you have 10 subscribers or 10,000! That is SUCH a huge selling point.
The price of Flodesk is usually $38 USD a month, but I have a VERY special code for mates that will sign you up for a monthly fee only of $19 USD per month forever. If that tickles your fancy, use the code LUCYCC or click the button bellow!
