Have you heard of Flodesk? It’s my new favorite email service provider for businesses. Why do I love it so much? First of all, it’s easy to use. As a business owner you have enough on your mind, without having to figure out a complicated email automation service. Another reason I love it is that it was developed for photographers. Why is this so important to me? Because, as a photographer and branding consultant, the visual aspects of what I do online are very important to me. In other words, you can make really pretty emails with Flodesk!
Now that we’ve gone over a few of the reasons I love Flodesk for my customer and client emails, I’m going to walk you through how easy it is to set up automations with Flodesk. Why should you utilize automations? Automated email sequences allow you to make money and grow your customer base while you sleep. This means you can step away from your computer and live your life!
