Haven’t got your Christmas email campaign sorted yet? “Don’t worry, there’s still time,” explains Rebecca Hartley, Marketing Manager at Smart Messenger: Can I let you into a little secret? Before I joined the Smart Messenger team, I always let out a small groan in December when it was time to sort out the company’s Christmas email campaign. As Christmas grew ever closer, the sales team were clamouring to get their seasonal greetings out to customers and suppliers while I was still struggling to complete various other urgent projects before the holiday shut down. The Christmas campaign felt like the least of my worries. That is, until I couldn’t delay it any longer and minor panic set in! Who was going to design it? How was I going to send it? How could I make sure it stood out from the crowd and made recipients feel extra special? Sound familiar? I won’t tell you how I managed to get those campaigns out of the door, except to say I found various ‘solutions’ including expensive purchased templates from questionable websites, homemade designs (which I was quite proud of at the time!) and quickly cobbled together campaigns using online services which were clunky to navigate and largely unfathomable, with no support when I ran into an issue. This year, it’s a totally different ball game. Now, I’m lucky enough to be the Marketing Manager for Smart Messenger, a leading UK-based email marketing solution that’s affordable, easy to use and has got Christmas covered for busy marketers! The platform comes with unlimited support from lovely people – including Holly Stibbon, Dave Hall and Sapphire Cullington – who are all experts in email comms. No more grappling with chatbots or googling for answers for our clients! It’s a game-changer for businesses that need better results from their email marketing. I wish I had known about it in previous roles – it would have made Christmas campaigns so much more enjoyable to create and a whole lot more effective. Last-minute help is at hand If you’re a bit of a last-minute Christmas marketer like I used to be, the good news is there’s still time to send a really professional Christmas campaign to your contacts with Smart Messenger.
