WordPress is one of the robust solutions to get started with blogging, website or content marketing as a whole. WordPress has evolved a lot in last 10 years and today it has become a major content management system over Internet. With all the capabilities to add features which we couldn’t imagine to have without hiring technology team, the plugins of WordPress has made this possible.

With time, the focus of a marketer shifts to email marketing in order to get returning visitors and make an impact of brand.  They start collecting visitors’ information in forms of emails. To do so, they turn to email marketing solutions like MailChimp and so on.

Very soon, we realized that cost incurred in bulk email was rising day by day with ESP providers. Hence, we started looking out for solutions which finally resulted in using some plugins for WordPress, which can take care of email marketing requirements, right from WordPress dashboard.

Installing a plugin to handle email newsletters inside WordPress is relatively easy and time saving. Moving ahead, few more weeks with this solution, we found that the sending speed is slow and it takes a longer time to complete the list. Along with this, we also discovered that some of the features of full fledged email marketing application is missing. Then, we decided to look out for more viable solutions. After a comprehensive research on the internet, we came to the conclusion that having a solution integrated with SMTP server vendor like Amazon SES, Mandrill, can be a great way to send emails at a better price.

Looking out for perfect solutions that can integrate easily and can be hosted as whitelabel email marketing solution, we usually turned our heads to some of the very famous email marketing apps like phplist, Openemm, Interspire, arpreach and so on. But, looking at immediate requirement, we saw that Sendy can solve all the problems of email marketing.
