As a business owner, it is going to be important for you to gather contact information from your potential customers. When you gather this information you basically now have a way to reach out and romance and market to these people on a regular basis. They have invited you into their email inbox and that is a valuable position to be in.
Additionally, there are multiple email marketing platforms available, each with unique features and benefits. Understanding these options can help you choose the best fit for your business needs.
To facilitate this process being simple and seamless, Art Storefronts allows its customers to integrate their sites with an email marketing service for managing mailing lists and creating email marketing campaigns called Mailchimp. By connecting your site in this manner you can transfer captured email addresses from ASF to a list in Mailchimp automatically without having to do anything aside from the initial set up of MailChimp and the Lead Capture tool.
It is important to note that Mailchimp is one of several email marketing platforms available. While it is primarily used for marketing campaigns, Art Storefronts handles transactional emails such as order confirmations and support notifications directly from your website.
Art Marketing Hub as an Alternative
Art Marketing Hub offers a comprehensive solution for email marketing, including unlimited contacts and emails, social media scheduling, and seamless product integration.
