Email marketing

Email marketing that (almost) writes itself.

Build it with drag-and-drop or let Chip draft it, send it from your own domain, and see who opened, clicked and replied. Email marketing software for small business, inside the same place as your contacts.

Free plan, no card needed. Or book a demo.

Create a campaign

Four steps: who, what, a check, and when.

Pick your audience, write the email, fix anything the review flags, then send. People who unsubscribed, bounced or have no email are left out for you, and you see exactly who and why.

  • Lists, segments or rules "By properties", with exclusions
  • Estimated recipients, with a "Click to see why" breakdown
  • Send now, schedule, or Smart send at the hour your readers open most, once there is enough data
Write and design

Start blank, start from a template, or let Chip write it.

Tell Chip what the email should say and it writes the subject, preview, copy and button. Or drag blocks into the visual builder with your brand kit already applied. Prefer code? There is an HTML builder with a live preview.

  • 18 drag-and-drop blocks and 19 ready-made sections
  • About 28 starter templates, plus seasonal ones like Independence Day and Black Friday
  • Merge tags like {{first_name}}; a missing name reads "there"
A/B tests

Test one thing. Send the winner automatically.

Change the subject line, the content or the sender name, so the result tells you what made the difference. Chip can write version B for you, and the winner goes to everyone else on its own.

  • Chip angles: More curiosity, Shorter, Benefit-led, Different CTA and more
  • Pick the winner by click rate or open rate
  • Test on 20% for 4 hours, then send the rest
Review

One page, every check, before it goes out.

The review step catches the mistakes that cost you clicks: a subject cut off on phones, an empty link, an image with no alt text. Chip reads the whole email and suggests fixes, and you can send a test to a teammate.

  • Link checker: working, redirect or broken
  • "Chip's read": a short review with suggested fixes
  • Unsubscribe link, postal address and preferences link added on every send
Your domain and reports

Send from your own domain. See who read it.

Verify your domain in three steps and your email comes from your own address. After each send, the report shows when people read it, which links they clicked and who did what, and you can resend to the people who did not open.

  • Add your domain, add the DNS records, verify
  • A "When people read it" heatmap and ranked link clicks
  • Replies land in your Customers inbox, labelled with the campaign
What comes next

What happens after you press send.

Email is part of the same workspace as your contacts, inbox and automations, so every open and reply has somewhere to go.

You send the campaign
  1. Opens and clicks come in

    Tracked per person, with device and email client.

    ReportLink clicks
  2. Someone replies

    The reply lands in your inbox, tagged with the campaign.

  3. Non-openers get a second try

    Same email, new subject, once per campaign.

  4. A follow-up takes over

Questions about email marketing

Can I send email campaigns on the Free plan?
No. Email campaigns are part of the Marketing hub, which unlocks on Starter. You can try it free for 30 days.
Can I send from my own domain?
Yes, on every paid plan. Without a verified domain, campaigns go from a shared startbuddi address, capped at 1,000 a month and 200 a day, so verifying your domain lets you use your plan's full allowance.
Is this a good Mailchimp alternative for a small business in Nigeria?
It is built for it: Paystack checkout, seasonal templates like Independence Day, and your email list is the same as your contacts, bookings and invoices.
How do A/B tests pick a winner?
By click rate or open rate. We suggest clicks, because some email apps open messages on the reader's behalf, so opens over-count.
Are unsubscribes handled for me?
Yes. Every send gets an unsubscribe link, your business address and a preferences link, and people who opt out stop getting campaigns straight away.

Send your next email in minutes, not hours.

Your contacts, your brand and Chip in one place. Start free and try email campaigns on Starter for 30 days.
