"I was initially interested in EcoSend by their Sustainability efforts. Helping companies understand issues around Sustainability and growing businesses which reduce humanity’s impact on our environment, are key tenets of our own mission. But Aesthetics and Design are incredibly important to us too, so I needed to be sure the platform could meet our requirements for Design. Once we'd created our first Email template, I had that reassurance, and was delighted to make the switch."

The challenge

The Plant were initially drawn to EcoSend's Sustainability credentials, but in order to migrate from their existing setup with Intuit MailChimp, they needed a platform which could produce high quality and aesthetic Newsletter campaigns. The ability to migrate their contacts easily from their existing database was an additional factor.

Results

The Plant started by creating a Test Broadcast, with a template design of their Newsletter, to investigate whether EcoSend could match their standards of design. Using EcoSend's Visual Editor, The Plant built out a template Newsletter to test the design and deliverability functionality.

Satisfied with the proof of concept, The Plant proceeded to migrate their contacts using EcoSend's MailChimp Import function.

With their full Newsletter list imported into EcoSend's Contacts area, The Plant began sending out their first climate-conscious Newsletters with EcoSend Broadcasts, giving updates on the Agency's activity over monthly periods.

This ensures the company keeps their user-base engaged and up-to-speed on their latest creative activities and events.

"If migrating our contacts from MailChimp had been a drawn-out process, it would have been a blocker to proceeding. Luckily, all it took was a CSV export & import, and I could immediately see all my Contacts filled out in my EcoSend platform. And crucially, all contacts' subscription preferences were carried across in the import too."
