You can say nothing but good about Drag&Drop Email Designer. The effectiveness of this tool in email marketing has been proven multiple times by many of SALESmanago Marketing Automation clients. In SALESmanago, we make every effort to improve this innovative solution and give our customers countless possibilities of creating eye-catching and fully responsive emails in a few minutes.
Last month we were proud to announce dynamic email using scenario and only today we come here with the newest email Drag&Drop Designer improvement: Frame with product to choose. But wait, wasn’t this frame already available? I hasten to explain. The ‘ordinary’ product frame works on the basis of automatic placement of products. Depending on which type of recommendation you choose, these can be products from an abandoned cart or last visit. The advantage of the new frame with the product to choose is the possibility of selecting products to your dynamic emails all by yourself, which will be taken from the XML file. From now on, your dynamic email will be even more personalized and you have the control over the products that will be displayed in the emails.
Benefits:
- selecting products to your dynamic emails all by yourself,
- the possibility of offering your customers products that they have not got a chance to see (news or customized products),
- building the atmosphere of trust.
- creating fully responsive dynamic emails with the help of easy and intuitive email designer
