3. Easy to promote and share

It’s simple and straightforward to create a custom and branded landing pages in SendFox. We create one for you automatically when you sign up.

This landing page is AWESOME because:

1. The design is clean and on brand. 
2. It’s easy for anyone to sign-up.
3. Her URL is sendfox.com/jenny, so it’s easy to share on social media and any other platform.
4. Looks great on mobile too:

After you create your landing page, we have a “promotion” page that has the easiest and most effective actions you can take to grow your mailing list.

Showcasing your most popular emails as a blog will attract more people to your mailing list. Subscribers can also comment and easily share your emails on social media.

Providing the Best Deliverability 🏆

Email marketing ONLY matters if your emails arrive in the inbox.

Here’s what we do to make sure that happens:

• Use SendGrid, a world-class platform, to send our customer’s emails from SendFox.
• Check our IP reputations DAILY to ensure the quality deliverability.

• An automatic optimization process to help customers with poor emails stats improve their sender reputation — so their emails arrive into the inbox more often.
• A spam filter that checks emails for spam triggers before sending.

Active-Only Sending Feature ✉️

Your sender reputation and deliverability matter if you want your emails to land in the inbox. We’ve not only got deliverability covered for you but also your sender reputation.

To get a great sender reputation you need a good open rate.

To help, we have a feature that gives our customers the option to send emails only to their active subscribers. We do this ourselves to follow best practices and get better open and click rates.

SendFox makes it easy for you to improve your open rate and send to your MOST engaged contacts.
