Did you know that sending a weekly email newsletter can emit as much carbon as flying around the world 10 times? 🌎 ✈️
No, this doesn’t mean you don’t have to stop sending newsletters to your subscribers.
That’s because, by switching to a sustainable email platform such as EcoSend, you could cut your email carbon emissions in an instant. This includes any type of emails you send as a business including newsletters.
For those new to EcoSend, here is how we can help you send greener newsletter campaigns without having to compromise on the features you need.
Why You Need An Email Newsletter
Let’s rewind a second for anyone yet to start a newsletter for their business.
Email marketing offers a typical ROI of between $38 to $42 for every $1 spent. With over 4 billion users of email, that offers endless potential for your business to tap into.
Email newsletters are great for connecting with your customers on so many levels. They keep your brand fresh in people's minds while introducing new products and ideas. When done right, newsletters are a highly engaging and effective marketing technique.
Anyone can start an email newsletter. Best of all, newsletters are cost-effective to create and send too.
How EcoSend Will Make Your Newsletter Sustainable
EcoSend is the world’s first sustainable email platform. Our systems run on renewable energy sources, and we plant trees on behalf of every customer who uses us.
On the EcoSend platform, it’s possible to send regular email campaigns, just as it is newsletters. Plus in-app messages and much more. Whichever type of message or campaign you send to your subscribers, it will all run on our sustainable platform.
Some of our profits are also being invested in climate-related causes. We are looking to offer something greener for companies who use email in every way we can.
With our (and your!) bit for the planet taken care of, let’s get back to creating a stunning newsletter for your next campaign.
