I have an online business that depends mostly on the success of my email marketing campaigns. Half a dozen separate campaigns are running all the time.
I generated an average of 2.5% to 3% and I thought it was the best I could get.
My open rate used to be up to 20%! I had been running my email marketing campaigns successfully for 5 years and never thought of changing to any other platform.
It was after so many years that I thought of finding out what other solutions are out there in the market and I came across GetResponse.
