Market your business

Send campaigns to the customers you already have. No exporting.

Pick a group from your contacts, write the message once (Chip can help) and send it by email, SMS or WhatsApp. Then see the leads and money each campaign brought in. It's multichannel marketing software that starts from the list you already keep.

No need to set everything up on day one.

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

The problem

Every campaign starts with an export.

Your customers live in one place, your email tool in another and your WhatsApp list on someone's phone. Before every campaign you export, tidy up and import again, and the list is out of date by the time you press send.

Afterwards, nobody can say which message brought in the sale, so the next campaign is a guess.

What's different

  • One list for every channelEmail, SMS and WhatsApp use the same contacts as your CRM. There is nothing to sync.
  • Groups that keep themselves up to dateSegments fill themselves from rules, or describe who you want and Chip builds one.
  • Forms that grow the listEvery form answer creates or updates a contact, ready for the next campaign.
  • Results tied to real customersSee the contacts and revenue each campaign brought in, by channel.
How it works

Three steps to get going.

Step 1 · Lists and segments

Pick who it is for.

Add people to a list by hand, or set rules once and let a segment fill itself: city, tag, when they joined, what they booked, whether they paid. On Lists & Segments, every group has View contacts and Email this group.

  • 37 rule fields, from location to bookings, deals and invoices
  • Your own custom fields, too
  • Tags you can rename or merge when they get messy

Step 2 · Create a campaign

Write it once and check it before it goes.

Click Create campaign and answer four questions: who should receive this, what are you sending, does everything look right, and when should we send? People who unsubscribed, bounced or have no email are left out for you, and "Click to see why" shows exactly who and why.

  • Send to lists and segments, or pick people by properties
  • Add exclusions, and see how many can really receive it
  • Send now, schedule, or Smart send at the hour your readers open most, once you have 50 opens to learn from

Step 3 · Goals and revenue

See what each campaign brought in.

Set a goal on something real, like bookings, form responses or revenue, and it counts itself. When someone the campaign reached pays an invoice in startbuddi, that money is counted as revenue influenced and shared across the pieces that reached them, by the model you pick.

  • Goals on contacts, bookings, revenue, pipeline, reach or form responses
  • Multi-touch, First touch or Last touch
  • A budget with pacing, in your currency

From a form to a repeat customer.

The person who filled in your form is the person who gets the campaign, books and pays. One record, every step.

Someone fills in your form
  1. They become a contact

    The answers land on their record, with marketing consent if they gave it.

  2. They join the right group

    A segment picks them up by city, tag, booking or payment.

Questions people ask

Which channels can I send campaigns on?
Email, SMS and WhatsApp, all from the same contact list. WhatsApp campaigns use message templates approved by Meta and only reach contacts who opted in.
Is marketing on the Free plan?
No. Email, SMS and WhatsApp campaigns and automations unlock on Starter. Every paid plan starts with a 30-day trial.
Do I have to import my list for each channel?
No. Every channel uses your startbuddi contacts. Bring your list in once with a CSV import, up to 10,000 contacts at a time, and people from your forms, bookings and chats join it on their own.
Can Chip write the campaign?
Yes. Chip drafts the email or message from a short brief and you edit it before anything goes out. Chip uses credits from your monthly allowance.
Can I send email from my own domain?
Yes. Add your sending domain in Email and your campaigns go out from your own address.
