What is an email service provider?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two ways you can start collecting email addresses (a.k.a. subscribers). First, you can manually add people you know to your address book using your current email account, like Gmail. You can email the people in your address book directly from there. This method works fine when you first start. It would be best if you didn’t get bogged down with the technicality of setting up a custom email address, delaying your newsletter system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following method will take a bit to set up but will be well worth it.<\/strong> This method includes using an email service provider. An esp is a software program that allows you to create professional emails, manage your subscriber list, and send emails directly from the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An ESP is extremely useful because it saves an incredible amount of time<\/strong> by automating various tasks involved in email marketing. With features like email scheduling, list segmentation, and personalized campaigns, an ESP allows you to set up and manage your email campaigns efficiently, freeing up your time to focus on other crucial aspects of your business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, using an ESP gives you credibility as a business owner.<\/strong> It provides professional and polished email templates, ensuring your communications look sleek and branded. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, ESPs often have advanced deliverability features, ensuring that your emails reach the intended recipients’ inboxes and not spam folders, which boosts your reputation as a trusted sender. <\/strong>By leveraging an ESP, you can enhance your productivity, maintain a professional image, and establish credibility, ultimately driving the success of your business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the best Email Service Provider for travel agents?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, I’ve used several email service providers, including Mailchimp, FloDesk, MailerLite, and more. For several reasons, ConvertKit<\/a><\/span><\/strong> stands out as my ESP and I’ve been using it for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Theme

Most importantly, ConvertKit offers a user-friendly program, making it easy to build professional-looking emails. With a wide range of customizable templates and a drag-and-drop editor, you can create visually appealing emails that give you a competitive edge. “Don’t judge a book by its cover” is a phrase that doesn’t apply to marketing.<\/strong> You will gain more credibility and more business if your marketing assets look clean and appealing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two of my favorite features offered by ConvertKit are the ability to sell products, such as basic travel itineraries, and the option to create resource pages for my subscribers.<\/strong> Recently, I created a dedicated resource page that houses all my important emails and links to my website. This resource page has proven to be incredibly helpful, providing added value to my readers. (P.S.

\"ConvertKit

ConvertKit<\/a> also has a plethora of automation capabilities. It allows you to automate “welcome emails” for new subscribers, ensuring that they receive a warm and personalized introduction to your services. By automating this process, you can nurture new subscribers, build a relationship with them over time, and increase the likelihood of them becoming loyal clients.<\/strong> Automated welcome emails save you time, establish trust, and provide valuable information so your leads can eventually convert to clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"ConvertKit

To sum up, ConvertKit is a great choice due to its easy-to-use email builder, automated features, integrations, and resource pages. By leveraging these features, you can enhance your email marketing campaigns, establish credibility, and provide ongoing value to your subscribers, ultimately driving the success and growth of your travel business.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
