The automation workflows are more robust than many of its similarly-priced competitors. Read on to find out more in this Moosend review.

Moosend Review: Moosend’s Features

Emails

Moosend offers a free plan that includes up to 1,000 subscribers and 3,000 monthly email sends. Moosend’s paid plan starts at $10 per month, and increases based upon your number of contacts.

Moosend gives you lots of help for sending out your first email blast. There’s a Campaign Creation Wizard that guides you through the whole process.

There are five campaign options to choose from:

• Regular Campaign
• A/B Split Test Campaign
• Repeatable HTML Campaign
• RSS Campaign
• Automation Campaign

Repeatable HTML and RSS Campaigns build email blasts from existing online content. RSS is a special type of feed common on blog or news pages. If you connect this feed to a campaign, you can automatically turn updates into a newsletter. The nice thing about the repeatable HTML option is that it enables the same action for non-RSS pages.

Moosend lets you A/B test three different parts of an email marketing campaign:

1. Sender name
2. Subject line
3. Email content

With email content, you can create two completely different versions of the same campaign and do comparison. Different designs, different text, different images, different calls to action can all affect how an email blast performs.

Moosend also has a “real-time personalized subject line enhancer”. This function recommends campaign subject lines to help with deliverability and open rates and the more campaigns you send, the better the suggestions get.

With Moosend’s Spam Test, you can also run a test before you send a campaign, to measure how it will fare against the spam filters. The test gives you a percent range between 100% and 0% which lets you know your chances for a successful inbox delivery or the junk mail folder.

Moosend’s Email Templates

Moosend comes with 70 email templates that you can check as favorites, save and edit.

In addition, you have the ability to import templates from an online source via a link, HTML code, or file upload. Moosend’s Email Editor even allows you to create your own templates, should you be so inclined.

Moosend Automation Features

Marketing automation with Moosend is a great cocktail of simplicity and sophistication which appeals to newbies as well experienced users.

A great feature is the workflow editor which outlines the workflow that you are building and clearly marks the steps for you with successive prompts that lead you through the process from beginning to publishing.

Moosend Landing Pages

Creating a landing page in Moosend is just as easy as creating an email. Both editors look and work the same, and the template designs and email designs are alike.

After you’ve built your landing page, you can:

• Share it on Facebook and Twitter. This is useful if you’ve got a form on your page and want to get more people to sign up from social.
  
  
• Set tracking. You can track link clicks of how many people fill in forms. You can connect with Google Analytics and Facebook Pixel for more advanced tracking.
  
  
• Choose a publishing method. You can publish your page on the Moosend domain, or host it on your own domain or WordPress site.

Moosend Forms

If you want a signup form on your landing page, it will appear as an in-line form as an element on your page.

Alternatively, you can create standalone subscription forms to add to other pages. This gives you a much wider choice of form types:

• Pop-up forms
• In-line forms
• Floating bar forms. These hover discreetly at the top or bottom of your page as visitors scroll down.
• Floating box forms. These stay visible as visitors scroll around.

As with emails and landing pages, Moosend uses the same editor to create forms. And the templates all have a similar look and feel to the email and landing page templates.

Every signup form template starts with a default field for an email address. To add more data fields, you click Edit Custom Fields. This gives you the option to incorporate whatever information you like, including creating your own data fields.
