Why We Left Convertkit…

[post-views]

When I first heard about FloDesk, I was in my feelings.

I have been in a committed relationship with ConvertKit for a few years now. Their support has been amazing, their blog is awesome and it’s where I first started to grow my email list.

I literally started there with zero subscribers. ConvertKit was there for me.

So the thought of moving to a different platform when ConvertKit hadn’t wronged me, well I felt bad.

But here’s the thing… I need to do what is best for my business.

I have spent the past two years seriously growing my email list. I cleanse it weekly (deleting anyone who has not opened an email in the past 90 days, but has been subscribed for at least 30 days). I plan out my content meticulously so that I can best serve my audience.

But there was always one thing missing. That email I have been sending every Sunday morning? It wasn’t beautiful. It didn’t make my creative heart sing. My emails looked wordy and long.

I wondered if people read them to the end and I longed for design features that just never came.

Until a few weeks ago when I heard about my new email marketing platform FloDesk.

So here’s my overview of why I like it and the best bit of all… the super amazing launch offer that they have going right now.

PRO TIP: take advantage of their offer now before it disappears. It has been confirmed that it’s a launch offer only.

What is Flodesk?

Flodesk is the latest and greatest email marketing platform on the market. With two strong women, Martha and Rebecca, behind the brand, Flodesk is helping to bring practicability and versatility backing into mass emails.

What we love about FloDesk

But the cost isn’t the only perk of FloDesk.

Here are some other valuable aspects of the platform that you might find awesome for your email marketing:

  • The insanely gorgeous design templates that make you want to read the entire email
  • Free Landing Pages – landing pages can be hard to layout, they did it for you
  • Ready-Made Nurture Sequences – because setting up sequences requires brain power
  • Segmenting your List Automation is included
  • Higher than normal open and click rates reported by the majority of beta testers (me included)
  • It was started by two women in a tech world that is mostly men – gotta be proud no matter your gender
  • Unlimited subscribers for one locked in price – for LIFE. The price stays the same per month, no matter low large your email subscribers list becomes.
  • The FloDesk platform is streamlined to have all the same bells and whistle of other email service platforms without all the extra clutter.
  • The platform comes equipped with templates that are well beyond those tired, annoying weekly emails most of us are used to, and the templates are compatible and look great on both mobile and desktop.
  • And yes, the price. You just can’t beat it.

Why Choose Flodesk Over Convertkit?

You may be asking yourself, “why would I switch from an email platform that has been on the market for what seems like forever and switch to one that is still in Beta testing?” And the answer to that is Flodesk is really about to give you your bang for your buck. With most of the design work and formatting taken care for you at no additional cost, it’s a no brainer why you should consider switching to FloDesk.
