CRM & Email Marketing in one app

Newsletter marketing remains a highly effective sales and marketing strategy, with an average of between 46% and 50%, according to Rocket Media. Much of this continued success has to do with the advances in email marketing technology over the years. With modern email marketing tools, like Nutshell’s email marketing platform, marketers can segment and target specific audiences, include different types of media, and track email engagement.
