- Reduce internal spend at no additional cost. We do not charge additional fees for sending on our infrastructure.
- Save time and frustration with automatic contact updates and bounceback management.
- Get to a client’s inbox, not their spam folder. You will have a monitored, dedicated IP address for all your content to protect your sender reputation against spam markers.
- Get content to clients lightning fast. We deliver 99% of emails in under one minute. We deliver a personalized email to each contact on your distribution lists, which requires far higher bandwidth than most firms can take on without additional investment.
