Why I choose Flodesk to grow my email list

My Flodesk honest review

Let me tell you a little story.

Once upon a time (that is, five years ago), I was almost ready to launch my business (after spending waaaay too much unnecessary time designing and redesigning my website on Squarespace; don’t ask).

But there was a little problem: the email marketing platforms that I tried were too difficult to manage, and the results were not. pretty. at. all. (I’m being polite. I honestly wanted to use all caps there.)

That is, until I tried Flodesk.

Now, picture me five years ago, with absolutely no experience in email marketing. Just a girl with a dream, bootstrapping her project with a part-time job.

All I wanted was to find an email marketing platform where I didn’t have to use code to design pretty emails. That was it.

And yet, out of many platforms that I tried, Flodesk was the only one where I could design a beautiful email easily, no code or previous email marketing experience required.

So I’ve stayed in Flodesk since then. I’ve never considered changing platforms (like I did with my website, which is now on WordPress).

If you ask me why: simplicity and beauty (I’m a photographer after all, so visuals are my thing).

I don’t like complicated things or systems. I changed to WordPress when it became easier enough for me to understand. Meanwhile, I just stayed on Squarespace.

But Flodesk has always been easy to manage, and that’s why, if you’re just starting your business, I recommend it to you. Just try it, and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

Want to show your latest Instagram posts in your emails? Pfff. That’s easy. Just connect your Instagram account to Flodesk and add an Instagram block.

Want to create an email footer and replicate it in all your emails in different workflows? Just save it as a favorite block and add it to any email that you want to. No need to design everything from scratch again.

Want to copy your button style in all your emails? Just save the button style as a favorite.

Want to use your brand fonts in your emails? Again, Flodesk makes it easy with their custom email layouts.

Want to send a poll to your audience to ask them which kind of content or product they would like next? Just add a poll block.

Want to add a pretty countdown timer to your emails? Just add a countdown timer block. No need to use a third-party countdown timer anymore that looks, ahem, not visually appealing most of the time.

I could go on and on about this, but you get what I mean. Flodesk saves you time and makes your emails pretty and on brand.

Now let’s talk about Flodesk templates and new integrations in the next section.
