E-Mail Marketing

[Pumps2016]

Hi,
I am looking to start using e-mail marketing to contact customers regarding products, updates and offers.

Does anyone know if SellerDeck has a preferred client to use that works with SellerDeck or if people have experience of using e-mail marketing software what would you recommend to use?

Thanks

Email marketing in Sellerdeck

First sign up for a Mail Chimp account

https://login.mailchimp.com/signup/

Now extract your list of emails from Sellerdeck, 'Marketing', 'Mailing List', 'Filter on Keep Detais Private', 'Export List'
This will exclude people who tick to keep detils private as they go through the checkout sequence.



Now you can create your first campaign in Mailchimp using that address list to which you can add over time

https://mailchimp.com/help/create-a-...mail-campaign/

To collect email adresses embed a signup form in Selledeck. Go to Mailchimp and create a signup form to your needs:

https://mailchimp.com/help/add-a-sig...-your-website/

You can embed a signup in your footer:

<div class="widget widget-newsletter">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-6">
<h4 class="widget-title">Subscribe to our newsletter</h4>
<p>Get all the latest information on Events,Sales and Offers. Sign up for newsletter today. You can unsubscribe at any time by clicking the link in the footer of our emails.</p>
</div><!-- End .col-lg-6 -->

<div id="mc_embed_signup" class="col-lg-6"><!-- Begin Mailchimp Signup Form -->
<form action="https://yourdomain.us5.list-manage.com/subscribe/post?u=longgobbledegookmailchimpnumber&amp;id=YourMailChimpID" method="post" id="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" name="mc-embedded-subscribe-form" class="validate" target="_blank" novalidate>
<div id="mc_embed_signup_scroll">
<input type="email" value="" name="EMAIL" class="form-control" id="mce-EMAIL" placeholder="Email address" required>
<!-- real people should not fill this in and expect good things - do not remove this or risk form bot signups-->
<div style="position: absolute; left: -5000px;" aria-hidden="true"><input type="text" name="b_longgobbledegookmailchimpnumber_YourMailChimpID" tabindex="-1" value=""></div>
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe" id="mc-embedded-subscribe" class="btn">
