Getting attention of a visitor, lead or potential customer is the most difficult challenge in these days. When a visitor lands to your website and before she leaves in a few seconds, you need to grab her attention. At least, you need to get her email address to follow-up in the future…

And getting the email address of a visitor or potential customer is a tough process. It should be straight forward without any hassles.

Our new feature comes into the play at this point. Sendloop Subscribe Button makes this process as easy as possible. A single mouse click, email address and done!

You will be redirected to the subscription form builder of your very first mail list. Now click “Put a subscription button to your website” link as shown below:

At Sendloop, we monitor every single user activity to determine the needs of our users and shape the future of Sendloop according to our user needs.

For the last 6 months, we have been working on our new email builder. We talked to 50+ customers on the phone, made hundreds of chat sessions and emailed numerous times with our customers.

We identified needs of our customers and designed a brand new email builder. Our only focus point was easiness and simplicity.

In the end, the new email builder was born. It’s not different from a word processor. This means, everyone is already used to our new email builder.

Whether you have your own email layout or not, we have several options for our users. You can use your very own email layout or choose one of the available email template. Each template comes with its own content layouts such as image gallery, social buttons, paragraphs with images, etc. You can add/remove different content blocks and build your own email layout.

Different email templates and layouts are available

But you are not limited to Sendloop’s email templates nor email design features. You can use any email application or builder to design your own email template. Basically, Sendloop makes all email templates in the world at your service.

The new email builder is just the beginning. Some cool new features related to email builder is on the way in coming weeks.

This new email builder wouldn’t be designed “simplicity” focused without the feedback of our great users. On behalf of the Sendloop Team, I want to thank to all our users for sharing their feedbacks with us. We are so lucky to have such a pro-active user base.

Today, we sat down and designed a new email layout for our own internal notification emails which go to Sendloop users. It’s a shame that even we are so experienced in this email marketing industry, we couldn’t spend enough time on our vey own notification emails.

Notification emails (transaction and life-cycle emails) are sent to our users when they sign-up, during password recovery process, when an email campaign is sent, and right after similar events are completed. Therefore, it’s quite important to make them user “friendly”.

Here’s an example from welcome email which is sent once visitor signs up for a Sendloop account:

p.s. Our notification emails are now mobile device friendly. We will explain how to make your email template mobile device friendly in coming blog post. Stay tuned.

Like the warm welcome email displayed above, we renewed every single notification email inside Sendloop. Now, we are feeling better :)

On the overview screen, you can manage your subscriber custom fields (unlimited custom fields!), smart segments (unlimited!) and view popular open locations detected in your sent email campaigns.

On this screen, you can also access to related features to your subscriber list such as list settings, website integration, etc.

We implemented a brand new subscriber browse section. You can browse your subscribers, filter them, browse segment subscribers, unsubscribe them at once or update subscriber profiles.

Another new feature we excited for is the new website integration section. Once you go to the website integration section, you can see the life-cycle of a subscriber:
