Top Marks for Features, Email Campaign Creation and Reporting
TopTenReview’s Managing Editor, Leslie Meredith added: “Customers can use Pinpointe’s HTML Email editor to create gorgeous HTML emails quickly… Importing lists was also quick and painless, and we liked the fact that we could add custom fields and could track and select email recipients based on behavioral information such as links clicked, email forwards and much more.”
To help ensure optimal email delivery, Pinpointe’s online Email SPAM checker runs a customers email campaign through a Spamassassin SPAM engine. Pinpointe provides a SPAM score and feedback on required modifications to improve the email content. By fine tuning the content of each email, customers are able to minimize the likelihood that their legitimate, B2B email will get incorrectly caught in a SPAM filter or delivered to the ‘spam’ folder.
Pinpointe’s campaign previewer ensures that emails will display properly in leading email clients before sending. Email clients like Outlook 2007 for example, provide limited support for ‘CSS Styles’ – which are commonly used when designing HTML code. Unfortunately this means that a customer’s well-crafted HTML email may not display properly once it is delivered to the recipients’ inboxes. The Campaign Previewer shows exactly how the email will be displayed, and provides specific feedback so customers know what needs to be corrected in their email in order to display properly.
Other standout features include:
- Seamless integration with Google Analytics
- Behavioral Targeting — sending campaigns based on previous results
- Detailed, easy-to-understand Reporting
According to TopTenReviews: “Pinpointe has every feature we were looking for. This service can help you create forms, supports email footers, create plain text and HTML email versions and much more. It also has free image hosting with an unlimited amount of storage. They also offer a wide variety of easily editable templates and you can paste in content directly from Microsoft Word, FrontPage or any other HTML editor like Adobe DreamWeaver.”
