Cool Tech of the Week
If you are doing email marketing and drip campaigns there are a lot of solutions on the market. The ones with the best features can get quite expensive. Mailhake is a great option for businesses looking for an affordable solution.
Mailshake hooks up to your own Google Apps (or Gmail) domain and sends the email via that (which I love) so it’s not meant for mass mailing as Google is going to limit you to 400–500 emails a day. But for the price, Mailshake gives you a lot of automation power via their built features and integration with Zapier.
Sales, marketing, on-boarding, internal notifications, operations, there are numerous use cases to use a tool like this to be able to automate with the personal touch (revisit podcast episode 48). Check it out!
